Product Information

During test walks, the shoe felt supportive and well-cushioned, but still had enough flexibility for easy stride turnover. We found that the deep heel and cushioned collar provided good ankle stability and support. And the rugged rubber outsole also provided good traction, making these shoes a nice option for walking outside on pavement, sidewalks, and even dirt trails. They also have a spacious toe box and come in wide or narrow sizes for those who may need more or less room.

Our two testers did short walks or runs on the treadmill, pavement, sidewalks, and/or trails in each pair of shoes, depending on the shoe’s intended purpose. They also did one long-distance walk or run to evaluate comfort, support, and blister protection after miles of wear. Additionally, our testers wore the shoes casually to assess overall comfort and support for everyday wear. Even with the shoe’s ample support and protection, it still felt lightweight and flexible. The Fresh Foam midsole cushioning is comfortable and supportive without feeling too bulky. Unlike some other New Balance shoes, this pair doesn’t have a padded tongue, so it may not feel as plush as others. However, the thinner tongue enhances the shoe’s overall breathability to help prevent overheating.
