This shoe should feel very different to its predecessor, as it's built on New Balance's new PL-1 last, to make the shoe less bulky and give a better fit. The Abzorb cushioning in the heel is now in columns rather than a single stack for a softer landing and Cocona material in the upper helps with odour and moisture management.
Size matters to New Balance runners and the lower profile and more secure fit was a hit with our testers. The heel cushioning has improved too, with much better give on landing and a smoother transition to the forefoot. The weight has come down significantly. Our wear-testers say:
"These fitted perfectly and allowed me to drop half a size because they're wider. Very comfortable and not too heavy."
