We say: The 825, which replaces the 833, adds a seamless upper that reduces blister risk and incorporates New Balance's N-Lock system, which nicely wraps the arch while providing ample room in the forefoot. The shoe uses sticky rubber in the forefoot to increase overall traction on wet roads. According to RW Shoe Lab tests, the 825's lightweight foam midsole is the second softest in the guide, making it a durable race-day choice for larger runners. Recommended for biomechanically efficient runners with normal to high arches.
Wear-testers say: "As a heavier runner, I enjoyed the shoe for training and racing." --Mike Richardson, 58, Allentown "A great racing shoe; I ran a personal best in it." --Wayne Dubov, 43, Allentown

I really enjoy running in this shoe. The tounge is a little large for my taste, but not large enough to cause interference..
