| | About Severe Overpronation: |
|---|
| | | Although pronation is a normal, natural rolling motion of the foot that helps attenuate shock, severe overpronation occurs when the ankle rolls inward towards the center of the vertical line of the lower leg at more than 15 percent angle forcing the heel to lean inward. This means the foot and ankle cannot properly stabilize the body, weigh is carried on the inside edge of the foot and shock isn't absorbed as efficiently. This causes the big toe to do most of the push off at the end of the gait cycle. People with flat feet tend to overpronate. |

| | About TPU: |
|---|
| | | TPU, or Thermoplastic Urethane, is synthetic material used in the footwear industry to manufacture shoe outersoles and as an added compound on the midsole to prevent overpronation. TPU soles generally provide enhanced slip and abrasion resistance as well as durability. |

New Balance M587
quality of sole
September 18, 2012
Reviewer: jjonrunner from ellington
I had previously ran in 580's- could not buy them any more. I am 200lb runner an bought pair of 587's on 09-3-12- On a run yesterday the rubber sole on heel came off shoe. I contacted New Balance and they are sending me another pair. I am blown away by poor quality of this shoe. I am glad it did not happen in the half marathon in 3wks. Will try out other brands after race. I would have expected more from for a shoe made for a heavier runner!

Simply the best.

Reviewer: Dee from FL
To me, New Balance fits the bill in every way, not the least being thequality of workmanship by people who made the shoes right here in theUnited States. The company deserves five-stars for that alone. I'll keep buying this shoe, when I need replacements.
Wears this shoe: Every day, all day, at the gym, when I run, jog, or walk.
