This is my third try on a motion control shoe, and I am very pleased with this one.  I had to get a half size larger than I normally wear in New Balance due to the extra padding.  This shoe is replacing the 1011 which I had great success with but needed to replace; I was beginning to have knee and ankle problems and knew it was time to replace the shoe. This shoe keeps the ankles supported with lateral movement and the overall cushioning, arch support, and stability are excellent.  I also have orthotic insoles in them which makes them even more comfortable.  I would recommend the 1340 to anyone needing support in an athletic shoe.
