Runner’s World magazine has named the New Balance 766 running shoe an “Editor’s Choice” award winner in its Spring 2005 Shoe Buyer’s Guide (March 2005).

“It’s a good choice for bigger runners or heavy heel-strikers because it features Abzorb®, New Balance’s high-end cushioning foam,” said the Runner’s World editors.

“Our primary driving goal is to always provide runners with highly functional, innovative, and technical products,” says Eric Vassall, product manager, running at New Balance. “We are extremely proud to have Runner’s World® recognize the hard work and diligent efforts of our team.”

The 766 is the most recent update in the very successful New Balance 760 series.
