New Balance 1063 Shoe Review
The New Balance 1063 is a cushioned lightweight training shoe. In my search for a replacement for my favorite discontinued shoes, I first tried a shoe that lacked enough cushioning. My legs and feet felt beat up after a few miles. I needed a shoe that would be good for 10K through half marathon distance and that didn’t irritate my bunion. I have been pleased with the New Balance 1063 for a month now. They are cushioned enough that I didn’t mind standing around for hours while volunteering at the Portland Marathon finish line. They feel lightweight. They have changed the lasts on which they make New Balance shoes, and this PL-1 last has less volume in the toe box for a snugger fit. Yet I found it plenty roomy in size D wide, and it doesn’t irritate my bunion. The drawback is that the heel is a little higher than walkers need. But I haven’t found that to be a problem. I think these are keepers — until they discontinue them as well! New Balance 1063 Shoe Review
