New Balance MR817
$100.00
Released January, 2009
The Pros:Unusually light even for a running shoe, can barely feel the weight at all. Runs true to size, can reliably order your size and have it fit perfectly. Plenty of arch support, keeps your feet very relaxed.
The Cons:Not a lot of cushioning at the ball of the foot, can get pretty sore if walking around all day. Sole is tapered toward the toe, so you tilt forward a bit with every step - a little awkward for casual wear. Comes with unusual laces that look at a glance like they're twisted, but can't ever look smooth or neat.
The New Balance MR817 is a running shoe that is designed to provide stability and smooth transition for over-pronators. The shoe features a synthetic/mesh upper which makes it comfortable and supportive and utilizes Rollbar with a medial TPU post for high stability.
