The “Can’t Go Wrong” Cushioning Shoe

 

Classification: Cushioning/Neutral

Weight: Men’s 11.1 oz., Women’s 8.8 oz.

 

 

The NB 750 series has an award-winning reputation for being lightweight while providing considerable cushioning.  This shoe is suitable for runners with a neutral gate and the desire for a cushy ride. New Balance’s N-ergy®  technology in the heel puts the 759 in a class of its own when it comes to shock absorption.

The wide toe box and ability to purchase in varying widths makes this shoe a great candidate to house your much-needed orthotics.  Recent 759 predecessors carried the extra weight of the N-lock lace system and the sausage laces; however, NB has decided to do away with the bells and whistles and bring the 759 closer to its original form.

This shoe has been recognized for its ability to support a range of athletes from your lightweight marathoner to those competing in the Athena/Clydesdale division.

According to New Balance the 759 received 4.5 stars on a 5-star scale for categories of comfort, style and overall.

Feedback:  Minimal forefoot support, sizing runs large, tongue on the women’s shoe is too short.
