A more cushioned version of the New Balance 870, the 1260v7 is a premium shoe for the runner looking for a soft ride. Now in its 7th version, the 1260 is meant for moderate to severe pronation control. The phantom (read: light) upper feels great, the midsole is incredibly plush, and shoe fits the average foot like a glove—and it does come in multiple widths. The shoe is a tad heavy—11.8 oz—and has an 8 mm heel-to-toe drop. You can easily get 500 miles in these shoes.
