New Balance 1260 v7

Real runners have spoken, and this may be the glass slipper of running shoes. Women in particular loved the comfort of the 1260, with its snug fit and ABZORB midsole technology to give you a springy, I-could-run-all-day feel. Though marketed for road running, this shoe is pretty adaptable to terrain that is rocky, slippery, or otherwise tough. The no-sew overlays on the upper are just whipped cream on a great-looking sundae. Get out there!
