New Balance 712

Pros: Attractive, long-lasting, verrrrry comfortable, breathable
Cons: Cons? What cons?

I have had these shoes forever. Okay, so I've only had them for 3 years. But still, considering the punishment I inflict on my shoes, that's saying a lot.

I have worn these shoes for any number of activities. Examples: marching band in...

Pros: comfortable and will last a very long time
Cons: none

I have been running on New Balance running shoes since 1972. Remember in the moving Forest Gump, Tom Hanks just started running, well I was slightly overweight and wanted to shed a few pounds.

The only type of shoe that was available that was...

Pros: Super comfy, light shoe.
Cons: Falls apart quickly.

While I'm not a heavy person, I'm not exactly light on my feet. Frankly, I run like a buffalo. It's charming.

Style aside, I need the exercise and a good shoe can make all the difference. This was the first running shoe I'd ever purchased,...

Pros: Wide sizes, light, and durable
Cons: not good for wet conditions

Unfortunately, I have been cursed with the flat foot. Several times in normal sized running shoes, I have experienced pinched nerves and extreme pain. Such misfortune lead me to purchase the New Balance 712, which is available in normal and wide sizes....

Pros: none
Cons: none

These shoes are extremley comfortable. I love running in them. Since I bought these I have lost 20 pounds because they have influnced me to run so much. I have been complimented for them so many times. People keep asking me where I got them and I tell...

Pros: great feel
Cons: hard to find

I've been running for a while now and I must say that the New Balance 712 sneakers are my favorite shoes. I've gone back and bought them again and again. I have VERY narrow heels and these shoes fit perfectly (plus they come in all widths so they'll...

Pros: These really help you run! Comfy, light and durable
Cons: A bit higher cost.

I've worn NB shoes in three major distance running events. I've been a regular runner since high school soccer, up through today, training to stay in shape and run mini's. I've worn, Addidas, Reebok, Asics, Puma, Nike, you name it...and I've never felt...

Pros: Comfortable, lightweight, sturdy, stylish.
Cons: Really can't think of any!

My feet have finally found the shoes of their dreams, and they are happy. I've been running for over 20 years, and these are, without a doubt, the most supportive, the best cushioned, the lightest and the most comfortable shoes I've ever encountered....

Pros: They mold to, and move with your foot.
Cons: The may not be for every type of foot.

I am a runner, and have been since high school. I usually run 6-10 miles a day, and I am flatfooted. I require a very supportive shoe. I used to dread having to go in after a few seasons of use having to find and replace my shoes. I would usually...

Pros: Great looking and Great Comfort
Cons: A little expensive

New Balance sneakers are the new THING thats in.
They are comfortable and they last a long time.
Compared to other sneakers, they don't wear down as easily as other shoes. I have owned my New Balance sneakers for over 6 months and they are now...

Pros: Excellent support
Cons: None

Actually, I'm a serious walker, and female, but the New Balance 712 suits me just fine! I prefer mens shoes, because I have large feet, plus I tend to overpronate. I have found all the New Balance shoes to be very comfortable, and to give me excellent...

Pros: cushion, durability
Cons: maybe weight

I think that these shoes are one of the best shoes that you could choose if you are serious about running. I put a pounding on them six days a week, have had them for almost a year and they still feel comfortable. Sure the cushioning is not as good...

Pros: Fit!!!, Durability, Stability, Style
Cons: Arch Support, Cushioning

The shoe is good, especially for wide feet, but then if you want widths you will buy New Balance. The shoe is stable, has good tread pattern, and fits well. As far as cushioning and life-span of the midsole, it was not outstanding - the half-life was...

Pros: Affordable
Cons: Strings come untied without double knot

I've been jogging for over 20 years. I average about 30 miles a week, with some daily runs extending beyond 10 miles. When running distance, I need a shoe that is inexpensive (I have to replace them often) and one that provides stability and proper...

Pros: durable, comfortable
Cons: heavy

The new balance 712's are one of the best pairs of shoes I have ever owned. I am a high school runner and put in about 35 miles a week. I have had my new balance's for cross country, winter and now spring track. They have held up great. As soon...
