In this inspired update to the wildly popular 890, the New Balance 890v2 takes "lightest" even lighter! Engineered from the ground up, this neutral trainer is a new kind of lightweight shoe, each part designed with an individual purpose making it a very tehnical trainer.

Great training shoe,
Used for Marathon Training (recently completed the Chicago Marathon in Oct 2012).
Purchased purely out of peer pressure from a running buddy and the price. Not really a NB fan – but, wanted to give them a try. During my 20 week marathon training, any long run – longer than 9 miles – in the shoes would result in a blister on my left foot (only my left foot, and only with the 890s…none of my other shoes). So, I would only wear the 890s for runs less than 9 miles and I was fine. Upon completion of the Marathon, I started wearing the 890s on my weekly long run, and no blisters….so, I dunno. It is a lighter, long-mileage shoe (it looks heavier than it is). The shoe is now in my rotation for long runs.

|Great Shoe,
I am two and a half weeks into these shoes. They felt great, good cushion and extremely lite. Please note that the 890 are design for the mid/fore foot strikers in mind. The heel drop will force you to use your calf more when compare to traditional running shoes. After my first 12 mile run, my calf did feel a little tight, almost to the point of low grade calf pull. May be is just my form, but the pain went away after the 2nd week. I hope they can last for more than 400 miles.

|NB 890v2 is a great upgrade from the v1,
So I’ve spent the last 12 months running in the original 890s at about 15 miles per week, and they have been the best pair of shoes of I’ve owned.
Great Fit – from the moment I put them on
Just Enough Support – without making my foot overheat or putting undue pressure on tendons
Feather Light – I kept reading how light they were and thinking it was just hype, I’ve got to say you can really feel the difference
The only reason I ordered the v2′s is the soles were starting to wear, but the rest of the shoe interior and upper still look great with no signs of breaking down.
I was just as pleased with the new version and hope to have many miles ahead of me.
