Women's New Balance 1226

Comments about Womens New Balance 1226 Running Shoe:

These last a lot longer than any of my other running shoes. The treads don't wear down as fast. I don't know why I don't see more people running in these shoes.

Same shoes in the shoe store cost considerably more than these same shoes at this company...Very pleased with the performance, quality and amount of money I saved because I really wanted these shoes after trying them on in the shoe store. Thanks to Road Runner Sports I have the greatest shoes to run in.

Training for a half marathon, liked the NB 1225 but love the NB 1226 (lighter and fit better). Already bought a second pair.

I am a big fan of the 1224... but I think NB is trying to phase out that model. So, I have tried the next best thing: the 1226. It has a similar fit, but lighter and more breathable. The arch supports are prominent in these, but are a little too far towards the heel for my liking. Overall they are comfortable and durable, and I will probably buy these again.

I have been in the 1225's and have been pretty happy with them. I needed a new pair and seen the1226's came out. I was in a 9B. When I tried on the 1226, I actually had to go with a 9D because the toe box ran a bit more narrow. Other than that, I am pretty happy with them so far. The tongue has more cushion and they feel more breathable. The laces are so much better than the 1225s!!! Overall, so far I am happy with them.

Love the update to this shoe. I love my 1225's but the new version seems so much lighter and closer to the ground. I also like that it seems so much more cushioned but not too soft so my feet don't get too tired.

These were a gift for my 15 yr old daughter who is running at school in PE. She had awful shin splints with her old shoes and these seem to have settled the problem. She likes them very much.

I originally had the NB 400, when running on my treadmill I didn't have any problem, but once I started outside on the sidewalk/street I ended up bruising my heel. I then did research and which led me to realize that I needed Pronation Control. Very pleased with the first use of the NB1226. Have been running in them for 3 weeks now, no more problems.

This is the shoe I have been searching my entire life for. I have always had a hard time finding shoes to fit my feet, that were comfortable. I would always have to go through the excruciating pain of "breaking in" my shoes, I did not have to do that with these, they were comfortable from the minute I put them on. They are worth every penny!!!

Very pleased...better than the 1225's. Feels like there's more room in the toe box. I love the great support and comfort. Thumbs up.

I wear a wide shoe. When I tried on the NB 1226, it fit perfect. I am a diabetic and usually on my feet 12 hours a day and they give my feet great stability, adequate cushion and arch support.

Comments about Womens New Balance 1226 Running Shoe:

Great shoes, this is my second pair and I have a third pair already. The shoes are light and offer great stability. I have a high arch and wear an insert in the shoe, there is more than enough room.

I recently switched to these shoes from Saucony ProGrids. I love these. I have narrow feet and I didn't even have to order a Narrow size - just the regular B width. For average width feet, I can see that this might run a little tight. It's very light weight, very breathable and hugs my heel perfectly. I ran two full marathons and a half in these. They held up pretty good. I feel like it wore out quickly but I was training and running at least 15 miles per week for 6 months per my Garmin it lasted a good 500 some odd miles. I'm on my 2nd pair! and would buy a 3rd.

I have a narrow foot but two bunions.The NB really acommodate my odd faced shoe and allow me to run in comfort without slowing me down.

Comments about Womens New Balance 1226 Running Shoe:

I use these shoes whenever I run on pavement or on the treadmill. I use my older pairs for working out in the gym or walking my kids to school. I've never had a rub spot, pressure point, or any discomfort with this shoe. When I run on trail I use the Vibram, FiveFinger.

I previously wore the New Balance 1225 and loved them. I was pleasantly surprised by the 1226, no major changes in the fit and they were comfortable right out of the box.

Comments about Womens New Balance 1226 Running Shoe:

The first time I put on these shoes I was in heaven! They are so lightweight and comfortable. A friend of mine who is an avid runner tried mine on and had me order her a pair.

Comments about Womens New Balance 1226 Running Shoe:

I have really enjoyed these shoes. I ran in them the day after I got them and did not get any blisters. I have ran several miles in them already and love them.

Comments about Womens New Balance 1226 Running Shoe:

this shoe was comfortable right out of the box, I wore for a 9 mile run with no problems, very very comfortable, however I ran 10 miles the following week with the sure feet insoles in this same shoe and it was horrible, uncomfortable, painful etc...I had a very difficult time running that day.
This shoe for me stands perfect on it own, dont change a thing. Love this shoe, even over my Asiscs.
