New Balance means performance. Not just for a select group of elite runners, but performance for everyone. The designers, engineers and craftsman at New Balance are dedicated to delivering an epic run to everyone, regardless of how they run or how long they’ve been doing it. New Balance has a comprehensive line of running and training shoes.
Let’s say you’re a moderate overpronator looking for a lot of stability. The New Balance 860 is a great choice for you. It’s got some clever outsole geometries and an upper designed to provide perfect and complete support, stride after stride. Plus, the 860 has great underfoot support and just the right amount of cushion—and they look good, too.
If you’re a neutral runner, you’ll want to lace up a pair of New Balance 880 before you head out for a run. And if something seems familiar about the 880, it’s an evolutionary leap forward from the New Balance 759. It’s got a little more cushion throughout, and a little more blown rubber underfoot for a smooth and comfortable ride.
Now, if you’re a neutral runner that is all about the lightning, all about the speed, then you’ll want to look into the New Balance 890. It’s more of a game breaker than a game changer, really. The 890 features the surprisingly light REVlite foam and a carefully constructed synthetic and mesh upper for responsive, supportive everyday training. And it runs like the wind.
Not a company to rest on their laurels (of which they have numerous), New Balance has also given their 905 a serious update and, as with all their evolutionary leaps, this one includes a new number. Behold the New Balance 1190. It’s delivers a smoother, sleeker experience in what may be best described as a rocket ship. It has a REVlite midsole and a comfortable, flexible upper designed for variable speed training, up-tempo runs, or longer races.
The New Balance 1400 is a single-minded performance shoe. It’s all about simplicity, speed and responsiveness. The 1400 features a REVlite midsole and a seamless soft upper for outstanding comfort without sacrificing performance. This shoe wants to run as much as you do. It’s got a super lightweight feel, with great support and full ground contact for stability and speed.
Perhaps you’ve heard of the minimalist running movement, also called “barefoot running” in some circles, and maybe you’ve wanted to try it out yourself. Perfect. That is, perfect in the sense that New Balance has the perfect shoe for your minimalist running adventure. The New Balance WT20 Minimus Trail shoe delivers the benefits of minimalist running with the protection of a traditional trainer. It’s got a lightweight and durable VIBRAM outsole and a heel/toe drop of 4mm—that’s about the thickness of two nickels. Its unique design allows your foot to do what it does naturally in a midfoot striking gait, and it’s pretty cool.
When it comes to selecting the right running shoe, it all boils down to your personal running style, goals and preferences. It’s just good to know that however you define yourself as a runner, New Balance has a shoe that fits the description.
