Guest guest Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Hello all, Previous postings have cited a specific type of New Balance shoe that people really liked. Can you remind me what that is? I am in the market for some new sneakers. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 I've had a real good experience with the 1122 model. Good luck. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Hi : My favourite, which were recommended by an Orthotist are New Balance 925. The main reason I needed this type of NB was for better balance so I could play a little golf again without falling over. We have a nice little shoe store in town and they sent me an email telling me that a new NB shoe in now available...the NB 926. Since the NB 925 cost me $184.00 taxes included, I am not in a hurry to try the 926. Also at this time my 925 are still in great shape. These shoes come in various colours such as beige, brown and black. I hope this helps you a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 , Someone posted this site for NB shoes and it's awesome. They even sent me a $50 gift certificate out of the blue for being such a good customer! http://www.nbwebexpress.com/ The NB 1122 for women is $119.99 with free shipping.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 Also, not to leave the men twisting thier ankles, I have found the NB 620's to be good. I have to replace them every 4 months or so after they start to break down from my feet wanting to roll. But the 1st 4 months are pretty good.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 I have bought shoes from nbwexpress for some time. I have been using MK900. As usual when I find a shoe I like, they discontinue it! The MK901 looks reasonable, but ... I like New Balance shoes because the SL-2 last has a narrow heel cup and the padding around the ankle is soft. The SL-2 last is designed for a high arched wide foot. That description must sound familiar to a lot of us! A note about shoe size -- at least for men. A somewhat hiddden fact is that the length of a shoe increases as the width increases. For example: if a 10.5 3E shoe is too narrow, order a 10 4E or a 9.5 5E, etc. and the fit should be fine.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 Well, I don't know about wide feet. I have very high arches and a very narrow foot (women's size 5AA). So I don't think that 'wide' is necessarily a CMT characteristic but high arch certainly is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Hello , Hate to pass this on, but Zappo's has the 925's for $91. You might want to add them to your favorites list. http://www.zappos.com I searched for 926's there with no results, but they have new styles available in the coming months. They also offer free shipping and returns. EdM from NH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 I like the NB 620s and also the hikers 865. I have small feet and wear a kid's size, so I'm not sure if the 865 is available in adults. I got them at the company store in UT, and found the staff to be VERY helpful. I wish I had gotten a second pair of the hikers, because I wear them almost all the time now, since they have a bit more ankle support.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Dave, I also seem to have to replace my shoes every few months due to the same ankle rolling. Not even my AFOs can stop it, by the way I'm new, my name is and I was just diagnosed this last August, although I always knew I was different from most.
