Fresh Foam X Midsole Adds Lively Energy to 860v13
NEW BALANCE 992 MULTI 25cm

The women's New Balance 860 shoe with a Fresh Foam X midsole.

The latest version of the New Balance 860 features a brand-new midsole made with New Balance’s Fresh Foam X material, a softer version of the original Fresh Foam used in the previous version. You may have experienced Fresh Foam X in the New Balance 1080v12 or the NEW BALANCE 992 MULTI 25cm.

“Кроссовки new balance для трейлраннинга fresh foam hierro v6,” Caroline says. “It’s got that familiar bounce and pep that I noticed in the 880.”

While the Fresh Foam X midsole adds a plusher feel than previous versions of the 860, the shoe also offers stability for runners who overpronate or have flexible arches thanks to a firm, dual-density medial post.

The stiffer foam sits on the medial (inside) part of the midsole. Because it’s stiffer, it compresses less above your weight and keeps the shoe from wearing out unevenly, so you get a stable ride through the entire life of the shoe.

Reviewers Grau the subtle support and gentle guidance provided by the 860v13.

“I noticed that the medial posting feels smoother than previous versions of the 860,” Mandy says. “My right arch is a bit more flexible than my left, causing my right foot to start rolling in towards the later stages of my runs. The 860v13 provides the stability that I prefer without overcorrecting my stride.”

If you’re unsure whether you have flexible arches, be sure to head into your Суперские кроссовки new balance for an expert one-on-one outfitting. Cheap Urlfreeze Jordan Outlet outfitters use 3D fit id® foot scanning technology to gather information about your feet and the support they need by taking precise measurements of your foot length, width and arch height.

The New balance 996 wide pink silver green td toddler infant baby shoes iz996hpn w offers a firm yet breathable upper that wraps comfortably around your foot, holding you firmly in place.

Extra ventilation in the toe box ensures your feet stay cool and dry, while reflective accents around the midfoot and heel add visibility. The upper material is made with at least 50 percent recycled materials, part of New Balance’s green leaf standard to increase sustainability. An internal gusseted tongue ensures a secure fit.

“New Balance 9060 Grey & Black,” Nate says. “The tongue has just the right amount of padding for me. It’s layered without being overly thick or soft.”

A soft, TPU-clipped heel collar slightly flares away from your heel, decreasing blistering and chafing while providing an accommodating fit for different heel shapes. Long, textured laces combined with an extra eyelet make it easy to try different lacing techniques, like the marathon loop.

“These fit like the classic 860,” Caroline says. “The lightly structured upper holds me in but still gives me room to Impact and wiggle my toes around. The fabric feels soft against my feet while providing an extra bit of structure and support. The heel collar is slightly tapered out to avoid rubbing or chafing against the back of my heel. Overall, these fit well and feel true to size.”
