Runner's World Shoe Lab Test Results


We say: A brand-new cushioning shoe from New Balance, the 1060 features a midsole with a full-length piece of Abzorb, with softer plugs of foam in the heel and forefoot. The result: great impact protection and a nice, smooth ride. An arch bridge provides excellent support in the midfoot, and the shoe's N-Lock lacing system nicely wraps the arch area for a snug fit. The 1060 is recommended for runners with normal to high arches looking for a highly cushioned, great-fitting shoe.

The fit and comfort of this shoe are absolutely amazing. I really like it. However, at 218 miles on them, the tread is beginning to wear, which seems unusual to me. .
