I am looking to buy a New Balance shoes, I won a voucher for a free pair/$100 off at a race.
I normally train in Brooks. Short easy and tempo days in the Adrenalines. Long runs in the Addiction or Beast. I am not sure what motion control New Balance has, other than from looking at their website, or whats good, can anyone offer advice?
940 for motion control, not quite as bulky as the beast, but getting close. 880 for moderate to high stability, quite like the Adrenaline.
Kinda curious, on the website the 940 is listed as stability and the 880 as cushioning?

Are they really close enough?

The 890 is the one similar to the Adrenaline - probably your best bet based on what you've told us.
I'm using the 860s these days.

Right - hard to keep those numbers straight. Wish they'd just name their shoes instead.
860 is the moderate stability shoe. I think it's got more in it than the Adrenaline, Guide, or other similar models.

If you need some support I wouldn't recommend the 890. It's a very neutral shoe. I'd check the 880, 1080v2, 870, 860, 940. ( from less to more stability)
90s ( speed neutral)
80s ( neutral)
70s ( light stability)
60s ( mod stability)
40s ( max stability)
