Back to Results New Balance 901 Manufacturer: New Balance Price: $100 Reviewed in: Jul 2005 Shoe Guide Shoe Type: Performance Training See Specifications We say: In this update, New Balance added foam under the forefoot for improved impact protection and softened the sockliner for a cushier feel. (Our Shoe Lab tests confirmed that the 901 is softer than its predecessor, but only slightly.) The shoe also features the N-Lock lacing system, which provides a snug fit through the arch, and the "sausage-link" laces never come untied. The stable 901 is built low to the ground, which makes it an outstanding speedwork shoe, or an everyday trainer for runners with normal to high arches. Wear-testers say: "I enjoyed the low-profile midsole and no-slip laces."-Dave Peterson, 38, East Lansing "A great shoe. I liked the breathable mesh forefoot."-Heather Dyc, 21, East Lansing Be the First to Review this Shoe Gender: Female Shoe Type: Performance Training Sizes: 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 10.5, 11, 11.5, 12 Weight: 9 oz.
