Great gym shoe! I was tired of forcing my running
shoes to be all-purpose workout
shoes, so I did some research on cross-trainers. Since I love
New Balance (the 890 is my go-to running shoe) I bought the 813 in the black/blue combo. Initially I bought a 6.5 since that is the size of my
New Balance 890's, but they were too short. The toe box is not as long in these as regular running
shoes, so you may need to go up a half size. Width is average, and there is little to moderate arch support. This are not motion-control/stability
shoes so if you over-pronate you might want to look elsewhere! This shoe supports me much better in aerobic classes, on cardio machines, and while weight lifting. With my NB 890s I will stick to road running, with these 813s I will hit the gym!
