Good Shoe for the price....
By listen_er
Overall this is a good shoe and very light. I think it would double nicely as an everyday lightweight trainer and or race shoe. It is nicely built with nice attention and double stitching and extra material at some of the more common fail points I have found in daily trainers. I have about forty miles on these shoes and am a fast-ish trainer? I think they are sufficient for my weight (168), and standard training pace (7:30-8:00).The forefoot is really flexible and breathable, and structurally I have no problems with this shoe. I think, however if you look at the NB website, it may be a bit off in its selling points for this shoe. First of all it claims to be ideal for trail. I would emphatically disagree. Its last, the RL-3, and eva sole actually tapers in midway through the eva, giving the shoe a somewhat tippy feel in off camber situations. If you tend to supinate, I would avoid this shoe for offroad conditions. Additionally, this shoe is quite light and allows quite a bit of foot motion, especially in the heel. So if you need some support there (as you would expect in offroad shoes) it really doesn't have any built there. Unless you have ankles of steel, I'd look for a more stable based shoe if any of your planned miles are offroad. That being said, this is a solid performing road shoe with a normal footstrike.As the market is seemingly leaning towards more minimalist shoes with less rear to forefoot drop, I'm not quite there yet. That being said this shoe offers about 3mm less rear drop than my standard trainers, with the exact same forefoot height, thus it is more minimal-ish, without being minimal. So, I think a nice middle ground or transition pair if you are considering moving that way. Immediately upon wearing, I could feel the slight difference in my calves but it was gone in a run or two.For an otherwise good shoe, there are a few design elements that I'm not completely happy with. Number one, the tongue is a bit of a nuisance. It is amazingly lightweight and thin. However, there is no lateral stitching or elastic elements to hold it flat to the top of the shoe. So, if you put your foot in fast, without carefully putting your foot in, the edges have a tendency to roll under. This can lead to a bit of top foot irritation or discomfort. Not a big deal, but worth consideration. Secondly, the included shoe insole is worthless. It is so thin and has no structural support mechanics at all. It isn't shaped or molded, nor does it offer any arch or heel support so... its either purposely cheap to hold the price down or insignificant to keep the weight down. Either way I guess NB pretty much anticipates the user to have their own aftermarket insoles. I use powerfeet or powerstep insoles, and they work just fine. Lastly, most shoe producers tend to have a defined structral separation between the rear and forefoot sections of the sole. This shoe does not have a split, only a separation in the rubber on the bottom. And, comparatively this shoe's split occurs really far forward in the shoe, almost in FRONT of the arch, so you get very little rear foot flexion during the footstrike. This, to me, as a more midfoot to light heel striker, has resulted in a somewhat loudish-cloppy element to the shoe. But then again (as you can tell by this write up) I am pretty technically nitpicky.One more positive... a lot of the manufacturers these days, especially in their minimalist or lightweight trainers, seem to cut weight by using insanely low density and squishy eva. This makes a more cushy feel, but I believe it comes at the cost of durability, and looks. As eva ages, it tends to stress marks in the eva which dirt gets in and this leads to ugly shoes, but in my mind they don't last or perform as long (but I have no specific proof to this). I can say that these shoes have held up EXTRAORDINARILY well and have almost no eva compression marks even after 40 miles!Sorry for the long the long read. As you have read, it's a decent shoe with its pros and cons. For the pricepoint, I believe it will work nicely as a durable and long lasting fast trainer or racer as long as you have your own insole.

Not for the novice
By Leburlin
I just got back into running last year after being away from the sport for a few years. The shoe I have been using is the Asics Cumulus gel 13. I wholeheartedly recommend that shoe to someone who is new to the sport or returning after a layoff because the gel sole is remarkable and will keep your feet from hating your new hobby. But after you get in shape and your running form is looking good, the shoes can become a hinderance more than a help. And that's where the new balance m750 comes into the picture. The first thing you will notice is they are pretty lightweight. There is cushioning, but you certainly won't find an excessive amount of it, or any gel soles to weigh you down. The second thing you will probably notice is they are flatter than a typical running shoe. There is slightly less drop, though I wouldn't consider these to be "minimalist" at all. Its just a little more flat than a normal running shoe, at least from what I'm used to. But that's not a bad thing. These shoes have the feel of racing flats. They will increase your speed and your legs won't feel as fatigued. I definitely recommend them, but only after you have gotten some good running technique down and are in decent shape. Otherwise shin splints and other bad things may ensue. Now stop reading this and get running!

By Shane Hopkins
Simply the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I'm sure there are other shoes like this but I just haven't been able to find them.
