Comments about New Balance MR740BK:

This is a good shoe however I'm not sure this was the best shoe for me. I'm 6'2" and typically run on pavement 3 or 4 times a week 3 - 5 miles each outing. I like the shoe because it is lightweight however I feel it could have a little more cushion. The shoe is a little snug with a 13 2E but I would rather it be a little snug then not at a 13 4E. (What can I say, I have a wide foot.) It should still stretch out a little more so I'm hoping it will be a little more roomy after a few more runs. The cost was right because with running on pavement these shoes will need replacement soon enough. I like the style and look as well. Overall good buy.

Comments about New Balance MR740BK:

This is my 2nd pair (so far). I speed walk 5-7 miles daily and have found this shoe perfect for my needs. They are true to the size, as are all the New Balance Shoes I have tried, has good support, is very breathable (important in Florida) and feels great from the time I put them on until I finish my routine.

Comments about New Balance MR740BK:

I like this shoe, now that I have limited it to casual and daily use. At over 6 feet tall and 200 lbs. I was looking for a shoe that I could wear in the gym and for light running. While the shoe is comfortable, it is not supportive enough for any kind of impact workouts.
As a street shoe, however, it is both stylish and comfortable. If you are looking for a light workout shoe, or weigh less thank 160 lbs, this might be a good shoe for you.

This is a nice shoe... Comfortable and breathable! I had some issues with running on pavement and it gave me shin splints, I got these shoes to help out with the healing. T think it worked! they went away very quickly, faster than the doc. said they would... And they look nice enough to wear to work - Dress casual. I'm very happy with these shoes.

Comments about New Balance MR740BK:

I work out 5 days a week and this shoe is great for everything. Running, weight lifting, boxing or whatever it is you do. I have wide feet and this shoe accomodated my width very well. Thats what's great about online shoes is that you can always find the size you need.

Happy Customer.

Comments about New Balance MR740BK:

I'm a runner and I work for a parcel delivery service, so I'm on my feet on all types of surfaces imaginable all day long. These shoes are quite comfortable and offer moderate arch support. I never expect out of the box perfect support from any shoe without some kind of supplemental orthotic and these shoes are no exception. With additional padding, they are close to perfect. A small complaint about the styling - why no real leather trim and what's with this rather cheesey/shiny looking vinyl substitute. If you apply a bit of black polish on it, it looks much better somewhat toned down.

Comments about New Balance MR740BK:

I use the shoe for cross-training purposes. I go from resistance training to cardio and get strong support from the shoe within this transition. The shoe could be a tad firmer when I do agility work, but I still get the quality support that a big guy needs.

Comments about New Balance MR740BK:

I bought this for my 14 year old son. He doesnt talk much, but he did say he was happy with this shoe. I like the way it looks, and he seems to find it very comfortable. He started football training, and they do a lot of running. So far, there have been no complaints about his feet hurting after practice. (And that is saying a lot!)
