Guide Review - New Balance 757 Shoe
Think of this as a warm weather marathon/half marathon shoe. It is for the neutral foot, made on the SL-1 last, so it is not for overpronators. The breathable mesh upper has a good cutout over the bunion area so as not to rub in that spot, and lets the air flow through to cool your feet. The heel profile is flat, so this shoe works well for walkers. The extra cushioning will feel good for those long mileage training days.
