Buy New Balance Men's M1260 Stability Running Shoe

Customer Ratings:

As a previous owner of the NB 1223, 1224, and 1225, I was disappointed at the reviews of the 1226. Luckily NB also offered the 1260 as an upgrade. Compared to the 1225s these seem to be of slightly higher quality and comfort with one exception: The cushioning under the forward part of your foot feels thin. It's not that the cushioning isn't adequate, but it does feel thin and slightly firmer than the 1225. I do get a better sense of the terrain I'm moving across, but I do think that it encourages you to land more on your heel as a result. Perhaps the firmer cushioning leads to a longer-lasting sneaker the 1225s did tend to wear out after a few months but I've gotten used to the softer design. If the cushioning were slightly thicker I think these would be a great pair of sneakers.

I have been running relatively long distances (6-26 miles per run) for over 25 years and have tried many brands of running shoes. This is one of the best I have tried. And better yet, they're made (or at least "assembled") in America.

Different shapes of shoes work well for different people, but never go running in anything but RUNNING shoes or you will get injuries. (Cross-training shoes are NOT running shoes.) The typical runner should replace their running shoes every six months, or whenever the running shoes loose their "springy" feel they have when they are new. I replace mine every 3-4 months.

Despite my frequent shoe turn-over, I began having foot pains last year after long runs, which gave me significant discomfort while walking for a day or two afterward. I tried different running shoes, including other New Balance shoes, to no avail.

I figured, "Well, that old age," but as soon as I started running in these shoes, the pain stopped and I have been pain free, since. I feel young again!

The shoes arrived at my house surprisingly quickly, given that I opted for standard shipping. (I think it was about two or three days, but I can't be sure because UPS leaves package on my front doorstep, and I generally enter and leave my house via my garage.)

These running shoes have held up surprisingly well, especially considering that several miles of my run are along the barnacle-covered rocky shoreline of the south Puget Sound, which have caused some of my previous shoes to wear out after several runs.

I have since decided to order two more pair of these shoes.

Honest reviews on New Balance Men's M1260 Stability Running Shoe

I've been wearing new balance running shoes my whole life. I'm to the point where I wear out a pair every six months, so I simply order the same size and model on Amazon in December and June. They are a good 30% cheaper than buying in the store.

When your sole flexes excessively and the treads disappear, it's time for a new pair!

I am in Afghanistan and these shoes walk on everything from concrete, asphalt, mud, sand to large rocks. They are extremely comfortable no matter what I am walking on.

I wear a size 13W and finding shoes is sometimes very difficult, especially when ordering online since you cannot try them on. Every pair I have ever owned have always fit the same. I have tried other companies shoes, and though some of them fit ok, I always find my way back to NB.
