I don't usually write reviews but in this case felt I needed to. Why? Because this is the best running shoe I have ever brought – I cannot praise it enough. I have been after a 'super-shoe' for a while but have wide feet, so it hasn't been straight forward. To discover these in a wide fit was a no brainer. The comfort levels, bounce and energy return is unreal. On the first wear, I went out to test them over 5K and ended up running 21K because I was enjoying them so much. The day after, hardly any aches, especially from my dodgy knees. No doubt there will an Elitev5 on the horizon, so New Balance, please don't make any unnecessary changes because for me, the Elitev4 is the perfect running shoe. The only way I can fault them is that I want to wear them for EVERY run, not just long runs or races. Oh, and they look awesome too!
