3.5 / 5

Have had lots of foot problems(several surgeries for mortons neuroma) and it is very difficult for me to find comfortable shoes for my wide feet. These shoes are great to use at the gym on the elliptical and for walking, etc. Had to add gel pad inserts on top of standard insets that come with the shoes and wear very cushioned socks. With this combo it is like walking on air.

I needed shoes for training, since I have been using my New Balance MR1061 for running and training. I read the article here in NewBalance.com and stated that running and training shoes are completely different. Did a little reading and decided to try it out. Commenting on the comments posted before me: these training shoes is not design for running. The website well describes what it does: kickboxing, weight lifting, aerobics etc... It provides that cushion as well as that stability needed for side to side movement and different angles. Compared to my running shoe: MR1061 (now I have 1062 due to clearance sale), there is a big difference. Now I have two pair of shoes that meets my everyday training needs: running shoes with running shoes (MR1062), and training shoes for training shoes(MX1010). I gave the MX1010 4 star on comfort and overall satisfaction due to that fact during lunges and squats I tend to stretch the mesh forward, or I should say not enough support on the toe section. It might by form and how I perform the exercise, but braking with these shoes as well tends to stretch the mesh/upper portion of the shoe. Seems like I\'ll tear it (only happens on extreme exercises). Overall, I am happy and extremely satisfied according to my experience. Again, this training shoe is not design for running, maybe warm-up running/jogging for training exercises, but not for running! Again, not for running!
