Anyone run in New Balance?

Got my first pair the other day. Did a 3 miler in them last night with no problems and have a long run (10 miler) scheduled for tomorrow. Just switched from the Asics 2150's since they no longer make them, and I am fickle and just love to change it up. I hope I don't regret this so close to the Princess race, but I can always go back to my 2150's since they still have some miles in them. They are both stability shoes.

Any die-hard New Balance fans out there? I thought I'd run in the Asics forever...let's see if I convert.

I was a NB devotee for a long time. They were all I wore. Then I went to Fleet Feet for my first true fitting. I was convinced I would walk out with NB. I ended up in Saucony. Had 4 pair of those (the ProGrid Omni's 7,8 and 9). This last time I went in I tried on EVERYTHING they had in stability shoes and ended up with Nike (which I have never been able to wear due to width). Go figure.

New Balance makes great shoes and I don't doubt I will wear them again. Good luck with the new shoes.

I've got 3 pairs of NB shoes. Their wide width seem to fit me better.

I used to swear by new balance. In recent years they've been heavier than I prefer. But still were all good solid shoes.

I've been running in New Balance for years now. I have a narrow foot so they are pretty much the only option for me.
