1.	Betsy rated this product 3 stars Wed, November 07,2007: The sole started to separate from the shoe on the sides after only about 200 miles.

2.	nancy rated this product 5 stars Thu, October 18,2007: I just ordered my 5th pr. Sending back the 858's I got, they gave me horrid blisters in 10 mi & trail marathon races (never a blister ever before). 857s wider in toe box, I am a 112 lb mild over pronator w/low arch & I LOVE my 857s, please keep these NB!!!

3.	jayne rated this product 5 stars Sun, June 03,2007: Always have been a great shoe. These were my answer to the gt 2k series. Tried the gts 7's and prefer these more. will get a second pair.

4.	mm rated this product 2 stars Sun, March 25,2007: loved the 856 and am so disappointed with the "upgrade" to 857. need to find another shoe instead.

5.	Jennifer rated this product 5 stars Sat, February 17,2007: I'm an average runner; not a marathoner by far. I have wide fee (I'm 130lbs, 5'5"--avg. build)--well, my foot is shaped like a triange--very wide in the forefront and slender in the heel. I have to wear orthotics for my VERY high arches and the NB857 fit with my orthotics wonderfully! I have never h...

6.	Running Monrovia rated this product 5 stars Sat, December 30,2006: When I first tried these on, I thought, "uggh, weird. No way" but I thought about how it directed my foot and decided to try them anyway. Glad I did because after breaking them in, I think it is becoming my favorite shoe. I'm a mid-weight, medium overpronator with a tendency towards shin-spli...

8.	jgg rated this product 5 stars Sat, June 10,2006: Still performing well at 350 miles.

9.	Rich rated this product 5 stars Sat, June 03,2006: great shoe. 180 lbs, mild overproanator, wide foot,medium arch. Felt very comfortable right out of the box, love the wide toe box. The arch support is made for people who don't have any real arch issues. I have to buy a couple of pairs before they "improve" them

10.	Bernie rated this product 5 stars Thu, May 25,2006: Wow!!!. I have hammer toes because I followed along with what most stores told me, that I am a 15D. I went to a specialty store and they designed custom orthotics for me and told me that I am a 15 4E. I have tried New Balance once before, the 856 and they were harder than concrete. So I had been...

11.	steven ellsworth rated this product 2 stars Sun, April 30,2006: I bought this shoe about 3 weeks ago. I have a pair of brooks adrenaline that I was looking to switch out. The NB 857 do not near matchup with the Brooks. I will sideline these shoes to walk in, but I will be getting another pair of brooks. the front of the shoe has alot of space and your feet slide...

12.	SHF rated this product 5 stars Wed, April 19,2006: I have a very wide forefoot with bunyons and I moderately overpronate. The 856 had been the only shoe I had found which fit. I like the 857 better--no shin splints. The support is built in more than the 856. I had to lace the 856 tightly to get the support; otherwise got shin splints. The 857 w...

13.	GRRunner rated this product 4 stars Wed, March 22,2006: I've been a NB loyalist for years but was unfortunately persuaded by a shoe salesman to switch to the Brooks Adrenaline. What a mistake! I'm a mild overpronater with medium arches and love the support and spring the 857 provides, without the weight. Like running on a cloud! Like a previous review, I...

14.	Donna Duffy rated this product 5 stars Tue, March 21,2006: Love them.

15.	Kewawoman rated this product 4 stars Wed, March 15,2006: Just right for me--a moderate overpronator. This shoe may not feel initially like the most comfortable in the world (c.f., Nike Air Pegasus), but comparing the marathon I ran in the Nikes to the marathon I ran in NB 857, NB is far and beyond the best for me. With the Nikes I had shin splint pain sta...

16.	Jim rated this product 1 star Fri, March 10,2006: These felt great when i put them on and started walking. As soon as i started running i started getting terrible pain in rt heal. 763 a much better shoe

17.	Fearless Fred rated this product 3 stars Thu, March 02,2006: I've had nothing but NuBalance all my life. The 857 is the lightest and the only question I have is can they last 300 miles.

18.	rrr rated this product 1 star Wed, March 01,2006: poor fit

19.	Deb Weinberg rated this product 5 stars Mon, February 27,2006: Excellent fit; they have some give with lots of toe room. Good support with just enough cushioning to give some spring. Love the new shoelaces: they grip without having to double tie.
