Recently updated and improved, these running shoes for overpronators have exceeded our expectations. Yes, they provide tremendous relief for runners with flat feet, but the premium cushioning feature does an amazing job of keeping your feet stable while providing maximum shock absorption. Only experienced runners can truly appreciate the comfort generated by the large toe box with the extra space built in. And heel pain seems to almost disappear when wearing the New Balance 1012, cushioned by their stability core process. This shoe offers a new definition of performance for the extreme overpronator who wants durable footwear without being overly rigid. And yes, they do need to be broken in, but they’re not nearly as stiff as some of the Brooks trainers for example.
Frequently, athletes are un-happy when their favorite running shoes have been discontinued and updated with a newer model. But the New Balance 1012, which replaces the MR 1011, performs very well for controlling the arch related problems of the over-pronator. And men and women who have previously worn the Brooks Beast as part of their training program have switched to this footwear with great success. Runners find that their low arches respond well to the NB 1012 with it’s perfect blend of rigid support and lightweight construction. Some people complain about the extreme rigid construction and lack of flexibility of the Brooks Beast for example. But that’s not the case with this New Balance model. It provides just the right amount of stability and cushioned support while keeping your feet light.
And several reviews indicate that the MR1012 can help those who suffer with problems of the lower back if it’s related to foot problems when you run. Some athletes report a reduction in pain due to swollen knees after long training runs or conditioning events. There are no guarantees, but this footwear for motion control is becoming legendary for its ability to perform as stability running shoes. Even men and women who need motion control shoes for walking prefer these over other brands such as Saucony, Brooks or Asics.
If you’re serious about your training and plan to log hundreds of miles in your next pair of shoes, you’ll want footwear that is made with quality materials to withstand that kind of stress. You’ll find that the New Balance 1012 provides a high level of performance while delivering comfort with it’s wide width design. And for runners who take part in mid distance events such as a 10K run (or even a half marathon), this shoe could be one to consider. For shorter runs or sprints, you’ll need something light and fast. Remember, this is not a racing shoe. But they’re perfect for over pronators who need motion control running shoes with good support for their flat feet. So if you have problems with your feet because they roll inward too much when you run, give the NB 1012 a good workout.
