new balance Anonymous
Ei guys. Long story short, i get to pick between two shoes which i get to keep. One pair is a new balance 1223 and the other is a 1062. I got to try them on but i cant tell the difference by just standing. Sadly im not allowed to run with them. I heard one is for stability and the other is cushioning. So which would you get for normal running? Price doesn't matter cause im getting it for free.

Pic is of the shoes i wanted to have but cant get.

damnit, why the hell do they have to go and fag up every decent pair of shoes with horrible colors. Seriously.

Whenever I buy NB I buy the pair that has the least ridiculous color scheme.

This is a very good question. If I didn't hate business related shit I might have found myself a niche there: Normal colored high tech running shoes! I swear they DO NOT exist at this point.

id go for the 1223. it has superior stability with almost as good cushioning.

Mine are blue and white, though I don't know how "decent" they are. They do keep my footsies from hurtin', though.

As per your question, do you get shin splints easily or do you run on a tough surface like asphault or cement? If you do, then cushioning is what you want. If your feet have an atypical build (i.e., you pronate or supinate too much), you'll want a specific type of stability shoe based on your foot's biomechanics.

I'd get the one that conforms to my biomechanics, if I were you. That makes the biggest difference by far.

The thing is i go through all kinds of surfaces from dirt to asphalt to cement. I have to accept whatever the weather conditions are. Im leaning towards the stability shoes cause they handle my form a bit better, but really good cushioned shoes would be more enjoyable

That's the thing with cushioned shoes. If you are able to stay off rock solid surfaces, the cushion is useless. That's why I recommended you figure out your foot's biomechanics and got the shoe that best fit those measurements (FYI: most major athletic shoe stores should be able to take those measurements).

If you get a shoe that doesn't fit your foot's anatomy, it will cause you pain. I speak from first hand experience, btw.
