Pros: Excellent durability, stylish, comfortable Cons: Questionable ankle support
The New Balance 803 shoe is my favorite of all time. The first time I tried on these shoes I fell in love. They just fit so well. In fact everyone I know who has tried on a pair just loves the fit. They are snug but not tight, fitting your feet...

Pros: Light-weight. Extremely durable. Cons: Nothing major.
The biggest thing these shoes have going for them is their durability. The soles on these shoes are absolutely the best I have seen on any shoe yet. I use these shoes for everyday wear as well as running 3-4 miles a day. Even after over a year and a half...

Pros: Comfortable, Attractive, Durable Cons: A Little Expensive
I bought the new balance 803's right after finishing a job interview. I was wearing high heels that were giving me blisters and I had the foresight to bring along some socks, but forgot to bring comfortable shoes (smart, eh?). I thought the interview...

Pros: high quality, excellent support, great comfort Cons: somewhat pricey
This is a wicked shoe - and I mean that in a good way! I've had my pair of New Balance 803s for over a month, I will keep buying these shoes for as long as they make them.
Disgusted by the ever increasing girth of most tennis shoes, I had...

Pros: very cushioned, excellent traction, very strong Cons: kinda pricey, in my opinion
If you're a trail/road runner and want the perfect shoe, grip and cushion-wise, this is it. The bottoms have enough traction to handle nearly any terrain you would ever dream of running on, but it's not too spiky or crazy to prevent excellent road grip...

Pros: versatility, durability, comfort, design Cons: not entirely waterproof
If SCottie Pippen was to become a shoe, then it would HAVE to be the NEW BALANCE 803. I just bought one two days ago and I can only say that I'm hooked to this shoe. I want to use it everywhere! This shoe has been around the stores for a couple of...

background
I have been wearing New Balance trail running sneakers as my everyday shoes for a couple of years. I am not a runner. I do not claim to be one. I only run when I am in a hurry to get somewhere. I do find myself on trails...

Pros: Comfort like slippers, superb grip, secure, tight feel. Cons: Durability in question
The 803 is the first pair of New Balance shoes that I've owned. Bought them a little more than one year ago. I decided that I would spend a little more than normal on a good pair of crosstraining shoes, and I heard that NB shoes were very comfortable....

Pros: sturdy, rugged, comfortable, lightweight, wide enough(I have wide feet), comfortable, stylish Cons: none
I bought these shoes after trying on 8 other pairs of running shoes, I bought them because they were comfortable, wide enough to support my feet and light enough, I wear a size 13 so I need a rather broad shoe being big in stature. I run exactly 2 miles...

Pros: comfort, don't show when dirty, don't slide off heel, light weight Cons: pricey
Ok, so their not quite as incredible as my title makes them out to be, but the New Balance 803's are the first pair of running shoes I've ever owned that I didn't have to break in (and usually painfully I might add). The very day that I got them, I ran...

Pros: Light weight and VERY durable Cons: Can be painful during the initial break in period
I have tried a multitude of running and cross training shoes and have come to the conclusion that I will never buy anything but New Balance Shoes. I usually try to get several hundred miles out of a pair of running shoes and I have found that the New...

Pros: none Cons: none
I have been a long time believer in the Kelme products. I bought this shoe brand new before the high school season, and I tried it, and I noticed it was giving me blisters after the 3rd time I wore them. So I brought them back, and they gave me a new...

Pros: The comfort of these shoes is unbelievable compared to other running shoes. Cons: I can't think of any!
INTRODUCTION: I'm on the track team so I had to try to find a pair of comfortable, durable, lightweight sneakers that would last the whole season. Well no the seasons over and I still wear them when I run! These are very comfortable running sneakers and ...

Pros: Comfortable, Attractive Cons: a little expensive
New Balance started out in 1906 as a specialty shoe company making custom shoes. Athletes began to go to the store to find shoes that fit good. The company began to make sports shoes with more sizes to meet the demand for shoes that fit.
The 803's...

Pros: Great Shoe Cons: Over Prices
New Balance is the best running shoe that I have every used. The problem is not the shoe, but the damage to the knees and back over time. You can get a real high from running every day, but you must be very careful of the surface that you run on. The...
