This is the right shoe for runners with normal to narrow feet and into the whole minimalist shoe movement. I converted over to minimal shoes more than a year ago, and it has helped me overcome injuries that I had with regular running shoes. In addition, I have improved with my distances and times. I run 3-4 half marathons a year and am currently training for a full marathon.
I had been looking for a minimal shoe with the right protection and comfort feel, one that could handle road/pave running and easily switch over to hills/trails running (which I do a lot). I saw this shoe previewed in Runner's World and thought I'd give it a shot.
This shoe does the job. Plus they have great colors.
Another great minimal shoe is the Nike Free Run great shoe but not too great if you are running through trails and hills (not enough grip).
This NB 1400 shoe helped me set a new PR in a half marathon this summer that involved running through some major rolling hills (a lot of legwork). And my previous PR was set on a flat road!
I have been using this shoes to train for the full so I went ahead an ordered me another pair.
If you are a serious runner and love the minimal shoes, then give this a try.

I have been working on transitioning to a minimalist running shoe. Since I can't run everytime in my minimalist shoe I needed a nice transistional shoe. This shoe is perfect. It is light weight and supports a mid-foot strike with more padding than a minimalist shoe but you can still feel the road. However, if you run with a heel strike with no intention to move to a mid strike then do not get this shoe. There is not enough cushion to support a heel strike.
Like some other reviewers have noted the base is narrow. I have a wide foot and normally wear asics. For street/dress shoes I wear a 9 but for my asic running shoes I always go up a size. I ordered a 10B in this shoe and it fits just fine. It is a more fitted shoe but my toe base still has plenty of room.
The color is true to the picture and looks great on the feet.
Overall, two thumbs up.

As a beginning runner, I wanted a good shoe! These exceeded my expectations. My Dad has always been loyal to the NB brand, so loving the colors, I went with these. They are so lightweight, about 6oz per shoe and fit like a glove I have a fairly narrow foot. I should have ordered 2 pair, one to sleep in LOL!!!! Well worth every penny!
Honest reviews on New Balance Women's WR1400 Competition Running Shoe
This shoe is BY FAR my favorite training and racing shoe. I have ran in almost every brand and was sold on the first step. I run 80-90 mile weeks and wear these every run and feel great. So comfy, light, and make you feel fast. Very little cushioning but I have grown to love the feeling and my body actually feels better.

I have never found a better shoe to match my foots' landing on the pavement. Perhaps I have been buying shoes too big for me, but I got this shoe in a half size smaller to see if that would help prevent blisters...AND IT DID! They are super light weight and fit snuggly around my foot and allow me to move freely every step. I run about 3-6 miles 4 days/week and am about to attempt my first half marathon. Ive gotten about 250 miles out of one pair and am still going AND they feel great! Hope they never discontinue this shoe as long as I'm able to run.
