For amateur minor running...five or six 5k interval workouts per week...I found these to be perfect. I'm working my way to be able to run a 5k at my goal time at the 'drop of a hat,' but I can experience shin soreness, plantar fascia tension/soreness and foot pad chaffing after pushing myself. These shoes solved all three of these problems, so I give them high accolades for the build.
I like that they're relatively lightweight without feeling insubstantial, and they are also durable...I've logged about 150 kilometers on them, and while they're showing this they clearly have a way to go before they're ready for retirement and banishment to the garden, ha.
So, these are a great option for someone looking to use them for daily gym workouts and intermediate distance running. If I were training for a marathon or 10k (not gonna happen) I might look at a higher priced shoe, but for day to day use these are great while affordable enough to trade out every 500 kilometers.

These shoes were unbelievably bad. I only wear New Balance because they are the easiest shoes for me to get in 13W. I have never had any problems with any of my NB shoes, but these were garbage in under a month. In less than 4 weeks both the rubber part of the sole on the bottom of the shoe had all of its "nubs" worn completely off as well as the fabric and foam on the inside of the shoe warn through. They were only used for normal use as well as about 40 minutes a day on an elliptical machine. This is definitely not enough use for a pair of shoes to become worthless in under a month. I would continue to highly recommend New Balance shoes, but I would strongly warn people to stay away from this particular shoe.
