I have run in New Balance shoes for several years. I tried the 1225 to see if I could receive additional cushioning, compared with the NB model that I was currently running in and the results have been great! I will definately purchase this model again.

Compared to 1224, way too narrow in the forefoot and heel; worst features are the short tongue and the high eyelets which cause the laces to immediately go directly against the foot. Very disappointing!

My problem with this shoe is not the design, but the production quality. I bought this shoe and pair of 875 trail runners in November. After 4 months of regular running where I alternated this shoe with the trailer runners, this show fell apart on me at mile 20 of the New Orleans Marathon in February. A portion of the out sole pealed of an was slapping me in the bottom of the foot for the last 6 miles of the marathon. I never wore this shoe when I wasn't running for exercise, and it couldn't of had more than 400 miles on it. This and the problems I am having with the 875 have convinced me to swear off New Balance.
We truly appreciate you reaching out to us and giving us a chance to win back your devotion. We want to have a deep discussion with you one-on-one, would you be open to that? Our problem here with the online review system is that we could offer a guess as to what could have happened, but without further details it's just a guess. We can tell you that the 1225 is a top performer ready to give you miles and miles. Worldwide the shoe has carried thousands of runners to success. An outsole peeling off could be caused by: extremely excessive moisture causing the glue to de-laminate, wearing a running shoe for lateral movement (in other words movement normally reserved for a cross-trainer), excessive wear (ruled out in this case), and factors as simple as catching on a rock or tree root. Our point is that this is not normal and should in no way cause doubt or force you to leave our brand. There must be a cause for the failure, so may we find that cause out together? We are supremely dedicated to your satisfaction - let's talk.
