good stability training shoe

Anonymous runner · Aug 10, 2019

4/5

Overall

i've been using this style of shoe, all from NB, since i was a teenager decades ago. not a big fan of the fresh foam and other shoe configurations NB has out these days. as long as NB keeps making stability training shoes like this i'll stick with NB forever. NB for life.

Overall

I have liked the 1340 - it's a great stability shoe for my over-pronation. I have only 2 minor complaints: - The sock liner is pilling inside the heel - The tongue of the shoe slides off to the side Neither of these is a major problem - overall I've liked it.
