Customer Reviews

MR8509SB4
The normal great fit by NB. Depending on the sock thickness you may feel a little space in the heel. 4th Gen Zip is addictive. The spring in your step makes running fun. After nine years of Abzorb running the Zip is great 4G shoe. Buy 1/2 size larger. Currently paired with
Champion® rolltop-cotton and Thorlos® rolltop-THOR*LON®.
Pros:*Abzorb® SBS in the forefoot provides 5-10% more effective cushioning than original Abzorb® with no compression set
* NB Zip® controlled cushioning in heel provides durable responsiveness
* C-CAP® midsole provides cushioning and support
* Removable full-length insert of ABZORB® cushioning provides added comfort
Cons:finding the right sock to get shoe to fit properly. No "Tokyo at night" reflectiveness like some other NBs. See 1350.
Shoe Weight: 394 grams (13.9 oz)

Stylish and Comfortable4
Pleasantly surprised with these shoes! Great style, amazing comfort! The fit of the shoe is pretty accurate for me. Felt snug, but its expected for running shoes.

Sharp Looking, This running shoe is a Winner!5
I purchased this shoe for my son who is a Marine. He runs approximately 10 miles a day (his choice) to maintain his physical endurance. His previous shoes had no tread left after just six months. His only request: make them New Balance! He received them for Christmas and was delighted. The extra cushioning is great for his knees and the tread is superior for running on trails which he does frequently where he is stationed. A great bargain for the price. I would definitely recommend them.
