My New Balance mr848sl Reviews : For the most part I consider myself an avid runner replacing my shoes every 6 months or so, even though I should do so about every 3. Over the years I've tried various brands but almost always going back to my beloved NB. NB had never dissapointed me and I didn't think they would here either but I was wrong.

Once problem I face in general is high arches. This means I need a shoes that is nuetral, flexible, and has mid-sole cushioning all of which the New Balance mr848sl should have had. Within the first week of running I felt as if I was being dragged or heavier than normal. Then it began to hurt to run and eventually I was hit with shin splints. I had no clue as to what shin splints even felt like before because I had never had them before. After a few months I had to quit running entirely until my shins heal which is driving me mad may I add.

I never thought I'd ever say this for New Balance Shoes but this is by far the worst pair of shoes I have ever owned. Durability is subpar as well. Surprisingly the stitching has held together however the sole has deteriated and started to rip away.

If there was a negative rating for these shoes I'd give one.
