based on my experience, NO
sorry.. they used to but the current crop is lacking
check out mizuno, brooks, asics, nike
the nb900 had potential but they messed that up completely with a second density posting and an outsole that has poorly placed flex grooves (leading to multiple delams)
I've had a lot of luck with the 765. You can still get them from nbwebexpress.com. Get the blue ones. They breathe better than the red one.s
Of course New Balance has great training shoes. If you are into lightweight trainers, there is not a better shoe on the market than the NB 900. If you are into top of the line shoes, the NB 1221 is hard to beat. Superior cushioning and support, plus it is relatively lightweight. I would say the 900 and 1221 are New Balance's two best shoes, and perhaps their best shoe is a racing comp, the NB 205, which Khannouchi, Rutto and all the great NB guys wear.
NB 833
I've been wearing the progression of the 71x model for the last two years. They're cheap, have abot 450 miles in them, pretty light, well rounded shoe. They fit me just fine: I have pretty high arches and a narrow foot. I have a pair of the 716, about 4 pairs of the 717, and I just bought the new 718, which feels a little faster than its predecesers. I've never had any problem with NB shoes, and absolutely hate Brooks and Nike trainers.
Yes, the 765's are really nice shoes. The 900's are good too.
