Does anybody run with the New Balance 890?
Im looking for a light-weight trainer, Im currently running
60 miles a week working towards 80. Will this shoes last me for that kind of milage? also, I have had PF problems in the past, and going lighter with shoes has been working.
Any reviews welcome
I run 95 miles a week and I love them I have two pairs and alternate days. Give them a try
I am currently running about 80 mpw. I have two brand new pairs that will never be worn again sitting in my "only use for lawn work" box. the revlite in the first 890 was too soft for me. Just wearing them around messed my foot up bad with some PF type problems. You can see serious stress lines in them and after only a week or two of just wearing them around walking. I still gave them a few runs and it felt like running in sand. when I stopped wearing them the PF problems left as well. currently I am running in the kinvara 2, streak xc 2, type 7, and launch with no problems.
sorry, meant T7, (I also used to run in the Type A so I mix those up sometimes).
i was a big fan of them at first, they are extremely comfy and light. they are a little softer than i normally like though, and they did not hold up for too long, roughly 400 miles. i usually can get anywhere from 600-1000 out of a pair of shoes.
Just got a pair with 15 day return policy.. gonna give them a try and see what happens.. I am extremely concern with aggravating my PF, so I'm just crossing my fingers
My two cents...
After running a couple of hundred miles in the saucony cortanas (really like them, but very pricy and a huge blister problem) and some miles in kinvaras, I'm currently in the 890's. So far, so good. Ran 22 in them the other day. I really like the road feel for the amount of cushioning. Comfortable and the ride feels natural. I was afraid the 12mm drop would feel intrusive, but it doesn't. Gonna run marathon in the New Balance 1400's though, they feel amazing.
Good luck.
