I was looking to replace Asics 2170 for lightweight support, gym, road, and occasional race. Though I have fairly flat feet, I like a responsive shoe. I'm 6', 172 lbs. Very comfortable in the early going; not too many miles yet. Great value.

Had these shoes for 6 months now. They run great, give stability and cushioning like I need with my difficult feet (hammertoe, arches, high instep). But... my socks are peeking trough the upper mesh now, that is unacceptable after 5 months, 15M/wk. Moving to another brand on advice of RRS excellent helpdesk.

If you are looking for a comfortable and lightweight stability shoe, look no further. I've tried many different stability shoes- Brooks, Mizuno, Asics, and Nike, but the New Balance 870 v2 blows away the competition. I've put many miles on these shoes and they have exceeded all my expectations. Very comfortable, breathable, lightweight, durable, and dependable.

Pulled them out of the box and ran a 25k race in them. As far as comfort and use right out of the box, I have no complaints at all! Very comfortable shoe and very light. My only criticism is that I have a tendence to strike on the outside of the heel on my right foot and after one short 25k run/race, the bottom of the shoe is showing tremendous wear in the area. I can only assume it is due to the lightweight material that is used to keep the weight of the shoe so reasonable and comfortable to carry/run in. So because I can't buy a new pair of shoes even after just maybe 100 miles on them, I'm going to have to look for something a little more durable and unfortunately, probably heavier!

I used to run in the Asics DS Trainer as my daily running shoe and have switched to the NB 870V2. I wore a size 11 in the Asics but wear a 10.5 in the NB. I have used the 870V2 for long runs and tempo runs and it feels so versatile... on long easy runs I enjoy the cushioning while on tempo runs, I like the lightweight, speedy feel that allows an efficient, quick transition.
This shoe did take about 5 solid runs to break in, and now it just feels great.

After getting used to the fit. These shoes are alright. I've had them a couple of months.

I've been wearing Asics Kayano for years and finally decided to make a switch. So far they've been fantastic. Nice cushioning and lightweight feel. I typically run 30M+ a week and no complaints so far.

The first time I tried these on I suspected there would be trouble with the left shoe being too small. One of my left foot toes was catching on an inside 'seam' - a border between the outter piping and the mesh on the toe box. After 3 runs and 18 miles I realized I had to return them. I have two other pairs of New Balance size 11 shoes that were fine (model 663 and 737) so this model was just made too small.

Service is next to none. I just wish I could get the right fit. I didn't order 1/2 size up like recommended and I should have. This is the second try to get the right shoe. New Ballance changes the shape of their upgrades from time to time and I have yet to find the shoe to replace the 770. This shoe looks pretty but is not shaped the same. I'll try a half size up. Third time... may work.

I need a stability shoe with a wide toe box, which is why I typically run in New Balance. The main downside is that New Balance stability tend to be a bit heavy. This shoe is about 2 oz lighter than the 1200 series shoes I have been running in (which is a lot on a long run). This shoe provides the perfect balance of support, light weight and comfort. After my first two 10-milers in them, they feel great - an excellent choice.
