New Balance 803 Running Shoes

Pros: The comfort of these shoes is unbelievable compared to other running shoes.
Cons: I can't think of any!

INTRODUCTION: I'm on the track team so I had to try to find a pair of comfortable, durable, lightweight sneakers that would last the whole season. Well no the seasons over and I still wear them when I run! These are very comfortable running sneakers and ...

Pros: Stylish, Light, Comfortable
Cons: Relatively Expensive, I think they've been discontinued now

I have had these shoes since September of 2001. I use them for exercise only (sprinting and lifting ...

Pros: Comfortable, Attractive
Cons: a little expensive

New Balance started out in 1906 as a specialty shoe company making custom shoes. Athletes began to go to the store to find shoes that fit good. The company began to make sports shoes with more sizes to meet the demand for shoes that fit.
The 803's...

Pros: Comfortable, supportive, light-weight, durable.
Cons: Hmmm... they won't wash your dishes?

For reference, I'm male, 5'11', 150 lbs, average shoe size for my height and weight, travel with a light step.

Why I bought ‘em:

I was out in Boulder, Colorado a few years ago hiking on the Flat Irons with my new LL Bean...

Pros: Great, comfortable, stylish shoe to own!
Cons: My first pair didn't last as long as i wanted them to.

These are great all-around shoes!! I now own my 3rd pair and couldn't be happier! I wear them just about everywhere I go. They deliver solid comfort while having a stylish look that go with almost anything you have in your closet! I very highly recomend...

Pros: Comfort like slippers, superb grip, secure, tight feel.
Cons: Durability in question

The 803 is the first pair of New Balance shoes that I've owned. Bought them a little more than one year ago. I decided that I would spend a little more than normal on a good pair of crosstraining shoes, and I heard that NB shoes were very comfortable....

Pros: *VERY* comfortable, casual, nice colors, cheap
Cons: nothing! :o)

Gee whiz, I have not written on Epinions in a long time. Excuse me for my absence. School has started so my Epinion.com time has been slim to none.

Anyway, for school/running I bought a pair of New Balance 804 shoes. (THERE WAS NO 804, YES, I...

Pros: Fashionable product for those needing a casual shoe with an outdoor look.
Cons: Lacks necessary features to make it an adequate shoe for serious workouts.

When this category first appeared in the 90's most runners didn't pay too much attention. Besides to most runners a great pair of trail shoes for training were a pair you no longer wore for other workouts and didn't mind getting dirty. Also most runners...

Pros: comfortable, trendy, can be worn with anything
Cons: sometimes heavy

Because I try to run atleast a mile everyday and am a member of my school's track team, I try and find the best quality shoe for my needs. Many of my friends consider me "obsessed with sports shoes", which I am. Therefore, after doing a lot of research,...

Pros: comfort, don't show when dirty, don't slide off heel, light weight
Cons: pricey

Ok, so their not quite as incredible as my title makes them out to be, but the New Balance 803's are the first pair of running shoes I've ever owned that I didn't have to break in (and usually painfully I might add). The very day that I got them, I ran...

Pros: Light-weight. Extremely durable.
Cons: Nothing major.

The biggest thing these shoes have going for them is their durability. The soles on these shoes are absolutely the best I have seen on any shoe yet. I use these shoes for everyday wear as well as running 3-4 miles a day. Even after over a year and a half...

Pros: Style, comfort, and durability all rolled up in one pair of shoes.
Cons: A little bit on the pricey side.

First let me start off by saying that I received the NB 803's as a birthday gift. I had wanted them simply because I thought they looked great. They go well with my jeans and shorts that I always wear. When buying sneakers, I always look for the nice...

Pros: stylish, comfy, good for trail running
Cons: a bit expensive, everyone has them

There used to be veritable axiom in my world when it came to buying running shoes- only Nike and Adidas made cool-looking shoes...and possibly Reebok; they're a little streaky. Anyway, my point is that until now, my narrow mind only allowed my to buy...

Pros: Attractive. Good fit. Popular with the younger set.
Cons: Those round laces fray up and knot.

I love the shoe man at the mall. He helps me find shoes for Caleb who is 11 years old and a size 7 shoe. That may not sound like a big deal, but it really is.

Size 7 is in the mens section which means my little guy with his narrow feet has to...

Pros: Good arch support and traction
Cons: Somewhat pricey, fabric easily

I am not a good runner but like to run. I hate wearing shoes in general. I have wide feet. I am pigeon-toed when I run. Now that I've listed all my idiosyncrasies, let me tell you how much I love these shoes. SUPPORT The arch ...
