Anyone know if the new New Balance 805's have landed in Australia yet?
These shoes look sweeet!
Even better, has anyone seen any US sites that stock these and will ship to Australia? PM me if it is not cool to publish links in the forum re the store(s).
Cheers

Hi littlesim
I don't know about the 805's but i do know that it is really hard to get any New Balance shoes imported into Oz, i have tried to get the 790's without success, but i did get an email today from New Balance letting me know that the Chi Running inspired 800 will be available in the next few weeks and should be a good lightweight shoe

Thanks Mikel
I have just picked up the new 903, replacing the 902. They are a nice lightweight shoe but the toe box is very high and quite broad and I'm a bit prone to blistering - especially on fast runs with some up and down hill sections. The 805s look the goods - a bit lower profile but enough cushioning to get me through a marathon.
I hope they are available soon.

Love the 903 - it's all I use now. I know some people at NB - I'll send them an email and see if the 805 is available.

Sweet - I look forward to it. Be interested to know if it would be suitable as a racing shoe, specifically as a marathon shoe for a neutral, mid foot striker.
