This shoe is exactly as advertised and very pleased with the look and quality. It has a great feel and is very true to size. I have purchased other New balance products and have had to order a different size to fit.

I’ve always been a huge New Balance fan. They always fit better and last longer than the highly marketed brands. But I never realized how much difference there is between the lower and higher end models.
I had always bought the 400 and 500 models in the past, but when I found the predecessor to these shoes, the 859 (don’t ask me why successor is “850″, a lower number) at an outlet store, it was a revelation to discover that so much more technology goes in to making New Balance’s more expensive lines. As good as the 859 was, the 850 is a big improvement on an already great shoe. It adds far more cushioning and stability control while still keeping the shoe very light weight.
I can’t run due to neuropathy in my feet, but I work out and do intense cardio almost every day at my gym. Sometimes I have to take a few days off because my feet would hurt so much. But since upgrading to the 800 series shoes, I’ve even been able to do short interval runs with no resulting pain. Unlike some other brands who’s expensive lines are more about style than quality, you really get more bang for the buck with the higher end New Balances. I didn’t even have a break in period with these.
From now on I won’t even consider any model under the 800 series.
