Best fit I’ve found and the only running shoe model I’ll wear. Also made on the USA.

This is a great shoe for combining lateral support with ample cushioning. I’m a 6’00″, 205lbs over pronator who had a tough time running in GT-2120′s because they are designed for a neutral gait. These shoes provide substantial stability in the heel area with an extra firm midsole which heavier runners will enjoy (less leg fatigue!). The heel height may be a bit much for some but I’m sure my frame will break it in nicely.
Fit: People have complained that this shoe runs a 1/2 size small. More likely, the issue is that the shoe is designed on a PL-1 last versus the wider SL-2 last that many runners are used to. The ‘last’ is basically the frame of the shoe that provides various shapes for different fits(straight, performance, racing, etc.)
The PL-1 last has a narrower toe area while SL-2 shoes(a popular design for older ND models) are wider in that area. I wear a D width, but I’d guess that wide-footed runners who got away with wearing a D in SL-2′s would probably need to go up in width to compensate for the more narrow designed PL-1′s.
More info about ‘lasts’ and how they correspond to each NB model at the New Balance website
Ultimately, these are a great shoe for those who need/want extra support in the heel. However, it may be worth a trip to a running store if you are unsure of which width is right for you.

Beautiful shoe that is just right for me. I have a normal arch thus i dont require too much cushioning and balance, just enough, which is where this shoe does the job. I was looking at the 749, but decided to go with the 769 because it looked like it had a slight bit more stability and was quite cheaper. The only bad part is that it’s all white and light colors that tend to show the dirt and dust rather quickly (like in less than 10 runs), so if you’re running off the track, keep that in mind. Overall i’m happy with this shoe and have always been a NB fan.
