Fit: True to size
Weight: 11.1 oz (Men), 9.0 oz (Women)

As the newest update to New Balance’s 750 series, the 755 remains committed to delivering lightweight cushioning for neutral runners. Our reviewers logged serious mileage with this model and reported positive results throughout nearly every stage of the evaluating process.
Almost an ounce lighter than its predecessor, the 755 boasts a significant weight reduction without sacrificing support or cushioning. Ample and evenly distributed shock absorption made these shoes an instant hit with wear-testers who noted a flexible and smooth overall ride.

Product: Brooks Radius 6
Price: $85.00
Type: Neutral - Neutral Cushioned
Fit: True to size
Weight: 11.85 oz.
Pronation factor: Neutral to Slight Over-Pronation
Best for: Runners with medium to high arches and medium to large frames.
A solid choice for neutral pronators who like extra cushioning and some medial arch support. They will also appeal to slight over-pronators who enjoy a bit of additional support.
During our initial trials they seemed a bit too stiff, likely the result of the more supportive mesh upper, but don’t be scared away. After a few runs the majority of us began to really enjoy these puppies and found them to do very good job absorbing shock; making them an above average choice for those battling plantar fasciitis and/or minor joint pains.
