They are firm RevLite and as such are.. on the firm side and stay that way likely get firmer.They are a very different shoe than SR2 as they clearly have a stability element from the mid foot outsole. I struggled to run them slower paces more than SR 2 so they may be a tough shoe later in a marathon unless you really need the stable mid foot. They have a lot of stiff spring from the plastic elements and are far less flexible than the SR 2 so much more responsive.The upper is sensational, a reasonable performance fit but not the easier very comfortable fit of the SR 2 which in later miles likely will be somewhat less supportive. Hope this helps.<br />Sam, EditorSam Winebaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17969086391170473784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-15450040855055491122018-09-07T15:18:10.219-06:002018-09-07T15:18:10.219-06:00So is the verdict that these shoes lose their boun...So is the verdict that these shoes lose their bounce in only 50 miles? I really want to get these but can't have that lack of quality. I was thinking about using these for the NYC Marathon but maybe I should look at the Reebok SR2?demianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14748017372713240235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-91184099664720187552018-06-14T17:34:09.097-06:002018-06-14T17:34:09.097-06:00Hi NB, I think would find the normal width 890 fa...Hi NB, I think would find the normal width 890 fairly close in fit to the Peg 34 although I found the fit of the 890 more consistent overall with less pressure at the front lace up metatarsal area and easier softer vertical toe room. 890 has a fantastic upper. As far as the Ride 7 you might be feeling the soft not always stable midsole. The 890 is considerably firmer and the mid foot outsole coverage puts in between neutral and stability so in many ways light stability shoe for me.<br />Sam,<br />Editor Sam Winebaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17969086391170473784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-40542783462715919662018-06-14T16:32:17.146-06:002018-06-14T16:32:17.146-06:00I've worn the Pegasus 34 which seems to be a g...I've worn the Pegasus 34 which seems to be a good mix of everything. I found the Skechers gorun ride 7 too narrow along with a low vamp upper created a feeling of tipping over definitely aggravated ankle.

As for a comparison to 1400 the 890 adds 4mm more forefoot stack and keeps the same 25mm heel stack so a more cushioned forefoot using the same RevLite as the 1400, so same midsole materials. The 890 is a stiffer and more stable shoe for sure, almost or actually a light stability/support trainer due to it is mid foot outsole coverage whereas the 1400 is more flexible up front and a lighter shoe. I run neutral but do appreciate some extra stability/support but find the 890 at my limit in terms of its mid foot support unless I am at tempo paces. Hope this helps.<br />Sam, EditorSam Winebaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17969086391170473784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-22628654181242057332018-01-27T09:15:32.850-07:002018-01-27T09:15:32.850-07:00New Balance 890v6 is my first pair of New Balance ...New Balance 890v6 is my first pair of New Balance running shoes. I'm fairly new to being a regular runner and before these always ran in Adidas's, specifically Alphabounce.

Also would u say this is a more cushioned or beefed 1400 ? I’ve loved the 1400 ever since version 1 But was always hoping for something similar with more cushioning for training and longer runs.

VPv2 is heavy, and I skip it. Now I buy FreshFoam Zante v3 - its looks like good shoes, but in is not so soft. Also my version of Zante (size US10) is much more lighter then 250gr - it 220-230gr. For now, is the new 890 replace VP? How close are they to VPv1?adichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05004126150446468343noreply@blogger.com
