Like a glove5
I have always been partial to NB running shoes. Everyones foot is different, though, and for that reason everyone has different brand preferences. For instance I can't fit into Asics at all, though most people find them to be very high quality. That being said, I think these are the finest pair of running shoes I have owned. I have never quite had a pair of sneakers fit this well. I love the lateral support. The vertical components of the "N" on the sides are actually straps that tighten with the top laces adding nice side support and adjustability to fit around the midfoot. I usually get a 2E but with these I found the D to be perfect for that reason. The material quality seems top notch. I tried on a few of the lower number models before getting to the 850's and found the fit and materials sadly lacking. I am so impressed with these that I am considering buying another pair to have on hand. Strongly recommend to NB fans who have found them to be a good fit in the past.

The best athletic shoes I've ever owned5
I've always been a huge New Balance fan. They always fit better and last longer than the highly marketed brands. But I never realized how much difference there is between the lower and higher end models.

I had always bought the 400 and 500 models in the past, but when I found the predecessor to these shoes, the 859 (don't ask me why successor is "850", a lower number) at an outlet store, it was a revelation to discover that so much more technology goes in to making New Balance's more expensive lines. As good as the 859 was, the 850 is a big improvement on an already great shoe. It adds far more cushioning and stability control while still keeping the shoe very light weight.

I can't run due to neuropathy in my feet, but I work out and do intense cardio almost every day at my gym. Sometimes I have to take a few days off because my feet would hurt so much. But since upgrading to the 800 series shoes, I've even been able to do short interval runs with no resulting pain. Unlike some other brands who's expensive lines are more about style than quality, you really get more bang for the buck with the higher end New Balances. I didn't even have a break in period with these.

From now on I won't even consider any model under the 800 series.

THE BEST RUNNING SHOES5
Bought these running NB for my son - these are his 2nd pair of MR850 - he loves them!

Best price is here on Amazon!

Product Description

The New Balance MR1224 is a stability running shoe that features a TS2 medial post and extended web to offer excellent stability for the runner with moderate to high stability needs.

The New Balance MR1224 is a stability shoe - Stability shoes are for runners who mildly overpronate (feet turning inward) and need extra support through the heel, midsole and post areas. Stability shoes will help reduce overpronation, which causes excessive foot motion and increases your risk of injury.

Pay the extra and save your joints!5
My husband is in the Army, and goes through new running shoes about every 4-5 months. He's tried all different brands and levels of shoe. This time, I strongly encouraged him to get the absolute best running shoe the New Balance store offered, along with the additional super-duper insoles. It was pricier than usual, but after all, you only have one body, so you might as well take care of it, right? Well, this morning, he called me right after taking a PT test (after taking the second half of the summer off of training) to enthusastically thank me for making him get the shoes, and excitedly exclaim that, not only did he shave a minute off his run time, but felt INCREDIBLE. His hips and knees didn't hurt like usual, and the term he used to desribe his new shoes was "phenomenal."
Great Shoes!!!!!!5
Great shoes! I've bought NB Shoes for years but recently had some physical therapy for my knees. The therapist analyzed my gait and recommended stability-plus shoes to correct a slight pronation problem. These shoes were on the list he gave me. Good stability and cushioning while running, thoroughly comfortable. I'd gladly purchase them again.
Greatest shoe i've every owned!5
This shoe is by far the best i've ever owned. I walk a lot an run on the tread mill an with my previous shoe i used to get blisters a lot an my feet would be sore, but I have not had that problem with the 1224. I recommend it just for everyday use, walking, running, etc...

Seriously the Best and Made in the USA5
I still remember the first time I slipped on a pair of 991s, it felt like putting on a pair of socks - fantastic. That was a couple of decades ago and I have not purchased a different brand or style of running shoe since then.

I was a bit surprised when New Balance discontinued the foam cushining 991 and replaced it with the gel cushioned 992. It took a bit of getting used to but I made the transition to 992s. With the 992s also came the option to get several different colors of 992s: the 991s always only came in grey.

I was elated to learn though that the company had again upgraded to 993s which includes a combination of foam and gel. I think they're lighter than 992s too and the feel on first putting on a pair of 993s is very similar to putting on a pair of 991s. They did keep the multiple color options of the 992 line so you can get these in black, grey, white.

Overall, I am extremely happy with this product.

Foremost on my loyalty is the commitment that the company has to local markets. The 993s are Made in the USA and in the back of each of these shoes you can see the prominent USA in bold against an American flag. They are a patriot's shoe and they are quite popular in the military. Unlike other shoe companies that use almost slave child labor to make shoes and then sell them at horrendous profits in America, New Balance provides good jobs in the US. Yes they make less profit and they endorse fewer athletes but we buyers are loyal because:

a) its a fantastic product
b) probably the best running shoe made (don't take my word, try one)
c) they're made in the USA
d) the company is committed to local markets and to producing quality running shoes

No I don't run many marathons anymore (but I have in the past) and I do love these shoes and once every couple of years when my old pair of 993s get relegated to the home repair shoe, I will go out and buy a shiny new pair of 993. It's always just a little bit special when I put on a new pair....

Btw, my closet has a lineup from the two pairs of decade old beaten up old 991s that still come out when I do gardening to the 992s that have been recently demoted with the purchase of my 993s: Yes I still own my 991s, the go through the washer now and again and they still work even after 10 to 15 years (amazing quality)....but they can't be seen in public anymore.

Anyhow, I hope this helps you make a decision on these shoes. It's hard to find a running shoe that has history and character like this line and I'll admit I'm a bit selfish here, the more popular 993s remain - the less likelihood that they'll be discontinued before I die.

Best Shoe Ever for me, maybe you too!!!5
First off these and all NB (I think) offer different width sizes so you can actually get the right fit. In addition the 992s (this model's predecessor) is designed for runners with a slight pronate which I have. Stability is what this shoe does and does super well for me. I didn't find that specification on NBs site for this shoe like the 992s, but it seems online sellers are still saying so, and I have no reason to believe my 993s have been changed either.

As one seller described the shoe online:

"Classic New Balance Men's 993 Tie Running Shoes mean pure stability
Here's superior cushioning and enhanced stability for mid to moderate overpronators
If your feet tend to roll inward more than necessary when you run, this New Balance Walker can help correct your motion and ease fatigue. This classic design comes loaded with technological features that cushion, stabilize, support and comfort active feet."

I have worn these 990s for many years now and this model just seems as good if not better than its predecessors. The only reason I buy new ones is frankly from natural wear. And I don't mean wear that is obvious like frays or the sole is coming off. I mean MINOR wear on the tread (starting to affect ankle/foot alignment) and slight stretching of shoes fabric/leather (don't get quite as good support). What's is amazing is these shoes are built so well, that by the time I need a new pair for specific reason these shoes still look and feel great. So great I wear them for comfort for daily chores. I swear 1 year on this shoe is like 3-4 months on your average high end, Nike Airs.

Simply put I have found the best shoe ever for me. If you know or think you need greater stability, I encourage you try them on at a local seller.

PS. My feet, my knees and even my hips LOVE these shoes :)

Great Training Shoe....Comfort4
The New Balance 993 is one of the most comfortable shoes I have tried in several years of Running..I do all my running on the treadmill and only weigh 165 now..But it is murder on your legs if you have the wrong shoe...This shoe combines comfort and stability, plus it looks pretty good as a casual shoe just to wear out or if you are on your feet a lot...

I am a serious runner and by that I mean I may be running 35 to 40 plus miles a week on the tread..These shoes are really a trainer..If doing my weekly routine of 5 plus miles a day I will use the 993s due to their shock absorbtion...

But the reason this gets 4 stars instead of 5 is these are not a performance shoe...The big drawback here is weight...The shoes are heavier than most..So if you are looking at speed training or overall 5k, 10k best time this is not the shoe I wear..Would wear lighter more performance based shoe like the Asic GT 2030, 40, 50 line...But while training for that or daily running I use the 993s..Plus when you got to a lighter shoe for performance that is a plus..

And the other reason I rate 4 stars is durability..These shoes will last me about 300 miles and they are done..Once leg pain, shin splints return I usually buy a new pair..So roughly 300 miles or so and the in soles are shot..Personally I like the black the best also..The grey doesn't hold up very well cosmetic wise..

So good training shoe, good comfort..If they were slightly lighter and less cumbersome and more durable I would rate a 5...And they get kinda toasty as well..They are not real breathable mesh...

Well I am updating this review today based on the last pair I received..They did pretty poorly for me..Were on sale here for around 80 bucks..But they definitely didn't hold up as well as the ones from road runner....After about 200 miles in these my ankles started hurting so bad I had to use my Asic 2140 trail shoes instead..Within a week or so the pain and soreness is gone..So I don't know for sure but I might try one more pair of these..It just seems that the insoles don't hold up long at all...
