These shoes are not comfortable running on pavement. After about 3 miles my feet and lower legs start to burn. There is no give to the shoe and not enough cushion. I am moderate weight at 5'8". Great for just walking or working out in a gym. Also since they are very stiff they would do better on a soft track or dirt path. If you are a runner, stay away. 2008-07-09 05:34:33 New Balance MR8508 Reviewer: Adam F from Amherst, NH Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Great shoe for cross training - I have had my pair of 8508s for about three weeks now and I love them. I do a pretty even mix of cardio work as well as lifting free weights and this shoe has it all. Light weight and breathable for running and very stable for squats, dead lifts, etc. All that and they look great. Add all of this to the fact that they are made here in the US and you can't beat them. 2008-07-07 04:57:30 New Balance MR8508 Reviewer: from Bay Area, CA Overall: Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked Shoe Width: Felt narrower than marked Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Comfortable and well made - New Balance shoes always feel better to me than others. It's the only brand I buy any more. 2008-07-03 16:51:09 New Balance MR8508 Reviewer: Colm Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Great shoes - Having wide size 16 feet, I find it fairly hard to find shoes that I like. Fortunately Zappos.com has a great selection of shoes to choose from. These particular shoes are very comfortable and fit well. My only problem is that I'm only living in the U.S.A. for the summer and wont be able to buy shoes from Zappos.com when I return home. 2008-07-03 14:34:43 New Balance MR8508 Reviewer: Mike from Garden City, Michigan Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Nice shoe great service - The shoe looks good and feels good while jogging. 2008-06-09 12:05:39 New Balance MR8508 Reviewer: Scott from Iowa Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Decent shoe - I have very oddly-shaped feet (very wide and short) and this shoe fit wonderfully. It also helped a bit with my severe under-pronation. Unfortunately, it does have some flaws as an every-day shoe... After about 6 months of use, the plastic "shocks" on the bottom of the shoe began to crack. This wouldn't be a huge deal except that this creates a very annoying squeaking sound whenever I step (the damage got progressively worse). Only other complaint is that these are USELESS on ice/slick snow. The shape of the heel makes the shoe act like a pair of skiis. I ate it on snow for the first time in years this last winter. Still though, one of the better pairs of shoes I have owned. 2008-06-09 08:14:50 New Balance MR8508 Reviewer: Richard L from Hickory Creek, TX Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Shoe Buff - Excellent quality and wonderful fit and quality shoe. Thank you. I wish you had some sort of discount or reward program other than the credit card. I have bought 7 pair of shoes in the past 3 months.

The heel is extremely durable unlike a pair of Puma Cell Therids that I bought which the heel of eventually snapped and started squeaking. I use the shoes to play racquetball and they work great. The only problem is the top of right shoe's heel has worn into my skin which has caused bleeding. It seems like lacing the shoes all the way up to the top hole has fixed this. 2008-06-02 06:51:22 New Balance MR8508 Reviewer: from New Jersey Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Very comfortable and light weight. I'm very happy with them. 2008-05-13 18:35:41 New Balance MR8508 Reviewer: from Oklahoma Overall: Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support New Balance is as New Balance does - As always, New Balance just fits. It is the only shoe I can buy that I don't have to try on. I know they will fit. I've probably had close to 100 pairs and they always fit, they always are top quality. 5 Star all the way!!!!!!!!

A little on the rigid side but should break in well. I have about 40 miles on them so far and would anticipate about 40 more before they loosen up.
