As a previous owner of the NB 1223, 1224, and 1225, I was disappointed at the reviews of the 1226. Luckily NB also offered the 1260 as an upgrade. Compared to the 1225s these seem to be of slightly higher quality and comfort with one exception: The cushioning under the forward part of your foot feels thin. It's not that the cushioning isn't adequate, but it does feel thin and slightly firmer than the 1225. I do get a better sense of the terrain I'm moving across, but I do think that it encourages you to land more on your heel as a result. Perhaps the firmer cushioning leads to a longer-lasting sneaker - the 1225s did tend to wear out after a few months - but I've gotten used to the softer design. If the cushioning were slightly thicker I think these would be a great pair of sneakers.

The New Balance 1260 is an upgraded version of the old 1220 series. I have been wearing the series since 2000 (OG 1220's). These new ones are very comfortable and not cumbersome/heavy at all. I truly hope they do not wear out as fast as the 1226's did.

I have been a loyal New Balance customer for years but never knew exactly what kind of shoes were right for me. The last pair I owned was M690, which hurt my feet quite a bit. I did some research and found out I was suffering from plantar fasciitis. Those shoes didn't have enough support for my feet. This lead to me to find a New Balance store in my area--I wasn't about to blame New Balance just yet for my aching feet. Once at the store, I explained my situation to the sales associate and right away he recommended these shoes. Within minutes of walking on the hard linoleum surface inside the store, I knew that I had found the right shoes. I was impressed that what the sales associate had said was right on the money. I've typically deemed most sales associates as stock clerks with a gift for the gab, but in this case, the sales associate DID help me find something that was right. And without his help, I would have grabbed the wrong shoes that looked more stylish and seemed more comfortable because of words like "lightweight" but were actually wrong for me because they didn't give what my feet really needed. I'm happy not only with the shoes but the invaluable help I received from the store.
Upon my purchase, I came home and immediately put these bad boys to the test. I walked around my neighborhood, which is residential but very hilly-up and down all over the place-and typically two miles of running or walking in my last pair would have caused serious pain in my lower part of my feet. However, that wasn't the case with these--I was gliding on air, or it felt like it anyway. I felt my arches really dig down hard into the inside part of my shoes and I heard the hard support pushing back--squish, squish--the sound of music to someone who's had painful feet for months. Remember these shoes won't work for everybody--only for those who tend to overpronate, but if your feet are shaped like mine, you won't find better comfort...
