A couple of years ago I had my running analyzed at a local shoe store to find the right shoe for my running style. Prior to this, I was buying running shoes based on how they looked. Little did I know that each person’s foot strike would dictate the type of shoe they need. My Nike’s were giving me shin splints and ankle.
The running shoe store found that I over-pronated and that I needed shoes for stability on the inner part of my feet. They recommended the New Balance 1221. After putting those shoes through many miles, I was ecstatic to see the newer model of the 1221 on Amazon as the New Balance MR1223. These shoes not only look great but they also feel great on my feet.
If you’re planning on high mileage running on these shoes, I’ve been recommended to buy a size to a size and half bigger because feet swell when you run.
