Comments about Womens New Balance 1210 Trail Running Shoe:

I have owned 2 pairs of the 1210s and will get more of them. I am an ultrarunner and wear these shoes on about every type of trail surface and for all sorts of distances. I absolutely love these shoes! I live in MD and do a lot of running on the AT and in VA. The trails in this area are pretty technical and rocky. We also have a good share of smoother and more groomed trails. And they are good for practically any terrain. They have been great on mud and snow. They drain water well. The only disappointing thing about these shoes is I have noticed that they are not great on wet, slippery rocks.

These shoes certainly stand the test of time. They are very durable and very comfortable.

One other small issue I have with them is they have really long laces which come untied ~even if double knotted~ pretty easily. I could get other laces, but I'm just too lazy. =)

I haven't found a pair of trail shoes I have liked as much as I like these.

These are among my favorite shoes for technical trail runs. When I first tried them on, I was concerned that they felt loose and would not provide enough control on the trail. However, they have been terrific on all kinds of trail conditions including rocky, muddy, sandy, uneven, steep, etc. They are well-cushioned, stable, and protective against sharp rocks. My only reservation is that the treads hold on to sticky mud a bit more than I would like, and I prefer my Salomon Speedcross for these conditions. Overall, though, these are great trail shoes!

I love this shoe. It's got great cushioning and great traction. Even after running in them for a few months I can still feel the cushion in them when I'm on the trails. Also, when running on the trails I don't feel like I'm gonna slip and fall on the dry trails. Great little shoe

Boy, when I pulled these shoes out of the box, I REALLY like them! I love that the tongue is sewn so that no debris can get into the shoe while you are running. The tongue is also shorter so it doesn't interfere with the bending of your foot.

And they are LIGHT! Love that!

Well, unfortunately the toes box was too small for me. Right away I could tell because although the length felt like it might be okay, my big toe was rubbing on the side of the toe box. I've had bunionectomies on both feet, so my big toe has been straightened out in the process.... meaning that I don't have a wide ball or toes. So this just tells me that the toe box of this shoe is narrow.

I have decided not to order a 1/2 size up because the area around my ankle is actually pretty loose...well, perfect. If I order a 1/2 size up, I'm positive that it will be too big in that area.

So although this shoe did not work out for me, I still think it is a great shoe! I wish it did work for me. Hopefully they work for you!!!

I have run several miles in these shoes in the mountains of Canada and they are showing no signs of wear. They are very lightweight and extremely comfortable on my long runs! I ordered a second pair for my next Ultra!
