Pros
ConsThe details
These sneakers for men from New Balance are great for light use. The fabric used is soft on the skin and mesh keeps the pair ventilated and dry. The colors and cushioning are also appreciable plus the heel structure is unique and rare too.
Arch support
The one major issue with this pair is the lack of strong and well-gripped arch support. The design at the arch is mostly flat and lacks proper cushioning at the center. For a heavy user, this product might not be a great choice.
Midsole support
The mid-sole is thick and padded for a flexible and firm fit according to your feet. The sole is also relatively flat which can be uncomfortable for flat feet. Otherwise, the midsole support is just fine and fulfills the need for a good grip and fitting.
Forefoot cushioning
The cushioning of this product is top-notch, the midsole cushioning extends to the forefoot. The toe box is a bit too wide and weak but as far as cushioning is concerned, your toes and feet remain movable and soft, the base is not harsh on the skin.
Value for money
Although the pair is pricey, it offers good cushioning and comfort all along the length from heel to toe. The transition remains easy on the feet and thick soles are not a problem for the total weight of these shoes.
Final verdict
Overall, the product has a very unique shape and is extremely lightweight. The fit is cozy and tight enough. The main issue lies with the arch support, which is weak and not firm enough for heavier use or long runs. Secondly, the price range is on the higher end, given the lack of good support.
