Back to Results New Balance 754 Manufacturer: New Balance Price: $85 Reviewed in: May 2005 Shoe Guide Runner's World Awards: Editor's Choice Shoe Type: Neutral-Cushioned See Specifications Runner's World Awards: Editor's Choice We Say: RW Shoe Lab tests show the 754 to be firmer than its predecessor, the 753, and it's one of the firmest shoes in this category. The 754's last (foot form) is more supportive in the arch and provides a better heel wrap. New Balance added Abzorb cushioning foam in the forefoot and heel for more impact protection. The shoe features New Balance's "knotty laces," which never come undone. Recommended for runners with normal arches who want a neutral-cushioned shoe that also happens to be stable.
