A Good Running Shoe
I've been using New Balance running shoes for over 25 years and they have never given me an injury that kept me from running, a record other shoes I've tried can't match (I first tried a pair of Z-coils, which both perform and hold up well but felt as is I were running on stilts. Then I bought a pair of ASICS Gel Enduro 3 Trail Running Shoe Mens and promptly gave myself a case of shin splints that took a full year to heal (how was I to know they were for trail running? You mean people run on TRAILS?)
My favorite models are/were the New Balance® 550 Cross Trainer and the 992.
I started trail and desert running in an attempt to run on a softer surface, but when I did I twisted my ankles in the 992s so many times that I eventually used those Asics on an actual trail (and they worked so well I wore them out completely, they are totally falling apart.)
I will probably replace both the 992s and the Asics with a pair of Mens New Balance 908 Trail Running Shoe, which are supposed to be good for both the street and for trails.
So, would I compare the new 992s to my first pair of NB? In truth they are almost certainly better shoes, but the leap from Army boots to Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Lo Top Black to NB was such a huge jump forward that its hard to match when you are comparing a bunch of high quality running shoes. The bottom line? I've never gone wrong with New Balance and the 992 is no exception. Firm, no shin splints, and no bad knees either. Worth the price and made right here in the US, too.
