Customer Reviews

New Balance Unbeatable
A smart, supportive, comfortable shoe that can be worn with anything from jogging pants to a suit. (as its available in black) The number of feature in New Balance shoes and this model in particular add up to a carefully engineered cross trainer which, as 'Neuromancer' has already stated in his excellent review fit all occasions and can be worn comfortably all day. The only thing I would add is that NB shoes are a close fit and it might be wise to ascertain whether a wide fitting might be needed. If so there is seldom a problem as NB make each model in wide and extra wide. Whereas I normally take a standard fitting I ended up buying a Wide fitting and have worn them every day since purchasing. You might not want to but you could SLEEP in these without any discomfort.

MUCH MORE THAN I HAD HOPED FOR!
I was looking for a sturdy yet comfortable athletic shoe that I would be able to wear for many hours at a time, either at the lab or while on vacation. Hence I would not accept anything that did not have special cushioning for both heel and forefoot.
At the same time I wanted something that would not clash too much with a sports jacket. Hence the search for a total black look.

For years I had been an exclusive NIKE customer when it came to athletic shoes but that brand has no all-black AIR MAX 360 (which was what I was looking for at first). Then I came across the NEW BALANCE 622 and did not regret giving them a try.

This model indeed has special cushioning for both heel and forefoot (a copyrighted system called Abzorb®) and the sole design hags the foot from all angles. It feels solid yet light, sturdy yet flexible. I especially like the upper curvature of the sole in the front, whereas I really appreciated the availability of three sizes of wideness (this offer is only for a D at the moment I was writing my review but wider options are available even here at Amazon).

My only gripe is that some of the eyelets are plastic. Now, they are not flimsy and none has even demonstrated a tendency to brake so far - but I 'd rather have metal trimmed eyelets peace of mind anytime.

A student of mine commented that NEW BALANCE is the brand that Steve Jobs wears exclusively and I was...strutting for almost a day before I found out that APPLE's creative genius actually favors the...991 model.

Anyway, computer moguls preferences non-withstanding, over the past months I found myself wearing this pair much more than I though. No wonder back-pain specialists recommend NEW BALANCE shoes.

RECOMMENDED!
