    I am looking for a lightweight trainer/racer. I have forefoot pain from time to time. I have low arches. I weigh around 132. Train about 50-60 mpw. I am mostly concerned about my forefoot. I need protection there. Plus I am looking for a shoe I can race in with that protection. Any help/comments would be appreciated. I currently am training in Addias Nova's. I have very little pain in my forefoot wearing these but they are a bit bulky especially trying to race in them. I am looking at a pair of New Balance 900's. Has anyone tried these shoes?

    I have a pair of 900's and love them. Not as stable as my Mizuno Alchemy's but until all the snow and ice hit this winter I never noticed that much. They are very comfortable and nice to wear. Ran a marathon in them and a number of 20+ mile training runs, in fact I wear them nearly every day and never had blisters.

    They are very comfortable. low to the ground. the post isn't too aggressive but that could be a bad thing for someone with low arches. the upper is real sweet. fit like racing flats.

    the 900 is a great shoe. However, if you've had luck with the Supernovas, the fit is gonna be quite different. The 900 is real wide in the mid-foot area, nice wide toebox, like the 'Nova, but...the arch is quite a bit lower too. You'll notice a big fit difference, but it's a great speedwork/racing shoe. Just make sure it fits well.
