These are great tennis shoes. I just wish New Balance would stop changing the model number about every 8 months. This is the 4th or 5th evolution of an already reliable shoe. Recommended for those with a wider foot who do a lot of walking.

This is a great shoe for combining lateral support with ample cushioning. I’m a 6’00″, 205lbs over pronator who had a tough time running in GT-2120′s because they are designed for a neutral gait. These shoes provide substantial stability in the heel area with an extra firm midsole which heavier runners will enjoy (less leg fatigue!). The heel height may be a bit much for some but I’m sure my frame will break it in nicely.
Fit: People have complained that this shoe runs a 1/2 size small. More likely, the issue is that the shoe is designed on a PL-1 last versus the wider SL-2 last that many runners are used to. The ‘last’ is basically the frame of the shoe that provides various shapes for different fits(straight, performance, racing, etc.)
The PL-1 last has a narrower toe area while SL-2 shoes(a popular design for older ND models) are wider in that area. I wear a D width, but I’d guess that wide-footed runners who got away with wearing a D in SL-2′s would probably need to go up in width to compensate for the more narrow designed PL-1′s.
More info about ‘lasts’ and how they correspond to each NB model at the New Balance website
Ultimately, these are a great shoe for those who need/want extra support in the heel. However, it may be worth a trip to a running store if you are unsure of which width is right for you.

I have purchased a few pairs of these. On my second pair with a couple pairs in the closet for future use. I went to local New Balance Store and tried on these and the other two lines higher than these. While all were comfortable these felt like they had the best support. I walk 5-7 miles a day at work and these shoes have held up great. They are assembled in the USA with foreign products. Build quality is great and comfort is also, have held up well over time.

Best fit I’ve found and the only running shoe model I’ll wear. Also made on the USA.

I have been running in this series shoe for three years, 767, 768, and 769′s they are an excellent running shoe. Make sure you have a gate analysis done to determine your shoe style and if the stability shoe is what is recommended then this is the shoe for you. I have run 7 mini marathons with this shoe and logged countless road miles as well. This shoe has performed well I have to change pairs about every 300 miles give or take a few miles.
