Shoe review: NB 902 (Read 504 times)

Has anyone had the opportunity to run the New Balance 902s on varied terrain and over 100 miles? (Varied terrain = roads to trails [moderate to mild technicality]) They fit nice in the store, though I am curious as to how the mid-foot/mid-sole cushioning holds up after a while, esp. for runs of 10+ miles.

I do, but haven't really run more than 4-5 miles at a go, yet and only have logged 26 miles total in them. So far I really love them, but I haven't yet decided if I am ready to try running anything longer than maybe 5-6 miles in them. I'm not particularly fast, so they don't really make a noticeable difference in my speed (or lack thereof). I do love how lightweight and flexible they are, but I worry that the flexibility will set my arch tendonitis issues off if I press my luck running too many miles at a crack in them. I also really miss the forefoot cushion that my 767s have in comparison and I think I'd notice it greatly on longer runs and races. I think this would be true for me with any lightweight trainer/performance type shoe, though. k
