Product Description

The New Balance MR1224 is a stability running shoe that features a TS2 medial post and extended web to offer excellent stability for the runner with moderate to high stability needs.

The New Balance MR1224 is a stability shoe - Stability shoes are for runners who mildly overpronate (feet turning inward) and need extra support through the heel, midsole and post areas. Stability shoes will help reduce overpronation, which causes excessive foot motion and increases your risk of injury.

Features:

  • Nlock integrated lacing and webbing system that provides optimal fit support and security.
  • Abzorb A superior blend of cushioning and compression to help absorb shock on feet.
  • Transitional support system that has a multi-density medial support that creates a smooth transition from heel strike to toe off.
  • Acteva Lite that is 24% lighter than standard midsole foam.
  • Lightning Dry fabric that keeps you dry and comfortable by managing moisture transfer.
  • Stability web for optimal arch support that's both rigid and lightweight while preventing midfoot flex.
  • Extended Web Structured lightweight arch support that extends into the medial heel and provides midfoot rigidity and medial rearfoot supports.
  • Seamless lining.
  • 360 degree reflectivity.Average weight: 13.6 oz. (Size 10.5)

    My husband is in the Army, and goes through new running shoes about every 4-5 months. He's tried all different brands and levels of shoe. This time, I strongly encouraged him to get the absolute best running shoe the New Balance store offered, along with the additional super-duper insoles. It was pricier than usual, but after all, you only have one body, so you might as well take care of it, right? Well, this morning, he called me right after taking a PT test (after taking the second half of the summer off of training) to enthusastically thank me for making him get the shoes, and excitedly exclaim that, not only did he shave a minute off his run time, but felt INCREDIBLE. His hips and knees didn't hurt like usual, and the term he used to desribe his new shoes was "phenomenal."

    Great Shoes!!!!!! 5 by .. W. Garrison (Richmond, VA)
    Great shoes! I've bought NB for years but recently had some physical therapy for my knees. The therapist analyzed my gait and recommended stability-plus shoes to correct a slight pronation problem. These shoes were on the list he gave me. Good stability and cushioning while running, thoroughly comfortable. I'd gladly purchase them again.

    Greatest shoe i've every owned! 5 by .. Andrew Shelton ()
    This shoe is by far the best i've ever owned. I walk a lot an run on the tread mill an with my previous shoe i used to get blisters a lot an my feet would be sore, but I have not had that problem with the 1224. I recommend it just for everyday use, walking, running, etc...

    New Balance fan 5 by .. Michael A. Altes ()
    This is my second pair of 1224's, after two pairs of 1223's. New Balances just fit me better. The 1224's have a nice blend of stability and cushioning. The only shoe I've found comparable are the Saucony Hurricanes. The kicker for New balance is that they are the last of the major sports shoe companies that make a real effort to have their shoes assembled in the U.S. If I were to suggest any changes, it would perhaps be a little more forefoot cushion. By the way, you will love the laces: they stay tied due to their unique design.

    Great shoes. Very comfortable and no break-in necessary as I took them out of the box and ran several miles.

    Good buy
