"I have wore NB shoes for many years. This is the first time I have ordered the 856. I stand on my feet most of the day and the shoe provides me excellent support. The sole is firmer than my previous shoes but my body (or foot) adjusted within a day or 2. I highly recommend these shoes. They are great."
Pros: Lightweight, Good traction, Cushioning, Shock absorbing, Durable, Breathable
Yes, I recommend this product.

"This shoe is firmer than the previous models I have worn from New Balance. It is a well made shoe with a supple leather upper, but the sole is stiff for a causal shoe. However, once I got used to it, I am enjoying the support and comfort."
Pros: Breathable
Yes, I recommend this product.

"The first motion control cross trainer that I've seen by any manufacturer. If you have problems with plantar fasciitis, this is a good shoe for you.
I use this mostly for plyometrics and weight training. It seems to have good longitudinal and lateral stability. Good grip from the soles. I would prefer some more room in the toe box.
I prefer New Balance because they have the most consistent sizing between shoe models I've seen (in 10+ yrs, every NB shoe I've worn has been an 11.5; compared with 11 to 12.5 in Nike, 11.5 to 12 in Asics)."
Pros: Good traction
Cons: Not Breathable
Yes, I recommend this product.

"I spend 5 days a week in the gym. This shoe is perfect for weight training. The Cup in the Heel of the shoe really creates a stable platform for performing heavy lifts (squats, cleans etc) Enough cussion to run in if that is what you like to do. I use them for plyometric jump training and they are excellent."
Pros: Good traction, Durable
Cons: could have more cushion
Yes, I recommend this product.
