I adore these shoes for all my running!

I'm a bigger female competitor (I usually shoot for Clydesdale/Athena because of my build), I'm not a fast runner, and I tend to underpronate (turn to the outside) when there's an extra boost in the shoes for stability. Not so with these shoes! I love the fit, the cushioning and the arch support that doesn't affect my pronation. So much so I use them for all my running, not just trail! I found most women's shoes are too small (many don't go over a size 11, which is too small to allow for expansion when I run) and too tight - like we all have narrow feet! I've used Nike, Asics, Brooks... I'm sticking with Saucony!

lack of luster

Having owned previously other Adidas Trail Response shoes (10, 11), had some high expectations of this product. Instead, I was left disappointed. There are plenty of other shoes to use for trail running, and I think the competition now has better and better products. While the shoe still has excellent shock absorbing and thread, there is something about it that leaves me disappointed. The lacing system is weak: pulling the laces doesn't make the shoe feel snug, as the laces recoil leaving slack (one has to hold tight the laces in one place to pull the next place up). There is a feeling of stuffiness. The inside padding along the heel and ankle is stuffy and hot. The area above the toes is also stuffy and hot. For lacing systems, I adore the system that are in Lafuma trail running shoes, and like the one found in the Salomon trail running shoes (in these two brands, the foot really feels snug, almost like a wool sock). With the TR14, putting them on, I just didn't feel like "lets go running". The irony is that I didn't buy them even with a 30% coupon at hand.

Where can you use them?

I ordered these shoes 9 months ago in anticipation of using them in a local winter race if surface conditions turned out to be poor. Tried them immediately with spikes, and found them stable on snow packed roads and comfortable too. Then I replaced the spikes with the inserts that protect the threads when the spikes are not being used. During the warmer months I used the shoes only a few times over relatively short distances in the neighborhood, just to be sure my feet were used to them. Finally, on the eve of the December race I set out to reinstall the spikes. It took me two happy hours, for the protective caps turned out to be very soft metal and had worn flat, and the screwdriver notches were totally gone.

A New Balance representative tells me that this shoe is not meant to be used on streets, only on trails. Nothing that came with the shoe indicated such a limitation, but I had no prior experience with replaceable spikes and perhaps that's a given. The caps had worn flat in less than 25 miles, mostly on asphalt streets or packed earth shoulders. This is the first trail shoe I've had that is not street-worthy.
