New Balance Men's MR7500 NB Pulse Running Shoe Review

Customer Ratings:

I bought these shoes for running on a pavement track near my house.

I originally bought "trail running" shoes (which are made for running on grass or dirt roads) without knowing what I was doing. Naturally they were more stiff for running on grass. Since I was running on pavement I developed minor shin splints since I didnt do any research on what shoes to buy. (new to running)

Fast forward 2 months later, I have my running gait analyzed, and learn a thing or two about buying the proper running shoes.

Which led me to these... and I have not had shin pains ever since. Buying the proper shoe is of paramount importance when taking up jogging/running. (so is easing into it, stretch a lot, dont run too far to start.)

Anyways; NewBalance makes 3 basic shoe types. "Cushioned" "Stability" and "Motion Control" shoes.

If you are an under-pronator or over-pronator, google what types of shoes to buy. NB stability and motion control shoes can provide support where you need it.

I am a mild under pronator. Which means when my heel strikes the ground it tends to strike on the outter heel, and I role my foot inward. This is not a big deal, but puts extra stress on my shin muscles as I strike mt heel and push off my toes. Again no big deal, untill the stress of my feet and shins striking hard surfaces eventually gave me shin splints and was further exacerbated by my runnig gait.

Even if I had a neutral running gait, running on hard surfaces as a new runner would have given me shin splints anyways. However these shoes handle the shock very well, and within a week of using them all pain in my shins has dissapeared.

These shoes are pretty light, and have a thick cushioned heel. The mesh on top provides nice air-flow over your toes.

I only bought them on-line since I already knew my shoes size with NewBalance.

All in all they're great shoes, and should last me 300-400 miles easily. My shins are verry happy I bought them. 5 stars for sure.

I have 3 other pair of New Balance shoes, all size 11, that fit perfectly. I ordered this shoe in size 11 and they are very tight, so I had to remove the insole just so I can wear the shoe comfortably. Hopefully they will loosen up and I can break them in as I wear them, but my other shoes were never this snug.

My understanding is that a good running shoe should have excellent cushioning, especially in the heel. So I'm always looking for a well fitting shoe with just that. I don't care what color it is or what it looks like. I found these shoes at JC Penney for $75 (on sale for $70) and I'm very satisfied. I wish one could get this kind of shoe for under $60, but it appears those days are gone.

Honest reviews on New Balance Men's MR7500 NB Pulse Running Shoe

I saw these at a shoe store in town and tried a pair on. I liked the fit but they only had this style in white. Why make a running shoe white? I found them here on amazon for about 10.00 cheaper and they had my size in black. I am very satisfied with the fit and look of the shoe.
