I run four to six miles per day and having been wearing New Balance shoes for years.  I haven't found any other brand that works as well for me. The price on these shoes was excellent; the quality is excellent; however, the fit is not consistent with previous New Balance models--the toe fit is shorter and wider than the 768 series (I have three pairs of these.) and the earlier 765 and 766.  Additionally, I can feel what appears to be the gaps in the tread through the soles of the shoe, giving the impression that my feet are not on a uniform platform of support.  While I have only worn them once, at this point in my experience, I am reluctant to recommend them, despite the great price.
