Great crosstrainer
New Balance WX1157 Groove Cross Training
My old Asics 2150 served me well but after a couple of marathons I needed a new pair. I was worried about having too much padding with the new model as I am interested in the "run barefoot" movement but a knee injury prevented me to pursue on this path at least for now. I got the new 2170 and went for a 5miler test run. It was an amazing pain free run, which had not happened in quite a while. These shoes are light, very comfortable (no blisters, miracle!!) the padding may prevent me to feel the pain on my knee and I run 5min faster that usual. I was bouncing off the ground with delight and landed really smoothly!! Plus then changed the shoe lace, compared to the old model and this lace are much better, I never had to tight them again, a thing that was happening quite often with the old kind! I have to say that the color is also a killer!! Ok! It is just a minor detail but definitely the icing on the cake!!
In summary: this shoes are better than the old model and they made me change my mind about the padding that I was trying to get away from!! My IT band and my knee are thanking me for buying these shoes!!!

These shoes are phenomenal. I was a little apprehensive because of the fantastic price, but they shoes are the best I have had for crossfit and the insanity workout. They are extremely light and they allow for quick movements and high impact cardio. I LOVE them and will be purchasing these from now on.
I was looking for the perfect cross training shoe. These are very comfortable shoes. May run a little on the large side, but thick socks fix that! Excellent support for side to side motion. Love the color!!!
I had been searching around for a pair of walking shoes that were: comfortable, reasonably priced, and looked awesome (not to mention made in America). My house is all ceramic tiling and after a good minute of walking, it really starts to kill my feet. As soon as they were delivered I slapped these puppies on and have not had a problem since... great shoes!
I ordered these New Balances half way through my Insanity program... Wow what a difference! My newer running shoes were definitely holding me back, and these cross trainers helped me get a firm footing during agility, and gave me great support. Great comfort, and eye catching colors!
And I LOVE LOVE LOVE them! I have gotten so many compliments on the bright colors! Thank you
so much!
Great shoe. Very light weight. Love the colors. Use them when I work out. I liked them so much I bought my mother a pair.
