Choose your favourite profile from the classic New Balance 574 and New Balance 373 to the retro-inspired New Balance 997 and New Balance 327. Don't forget the chunky New Balance 530 and the new 237 profiles with Next Day UK Delivery. On trend New Balance shoes Available in narrow, regular, wide, and extra-wide widths, the 1540 can accommodate feet of all shapes and sizes and also have room for custom-made orthotics or other types of inserts like insoles for flat feet. Breathable and lightweight, we recommend the Nergize Sport V1 sneakers for wearers who want a sporty and supportive shoe. They’re also budget-friendly, but still felt as comfortable and durable as other, more expensive New Balance shoes we tested. 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. New Balance’s range of shoes in cool colourways have successfully navigated their way onto the shelves of homes around the globe, becoming a staple of footwear fanatics.

After further research, we tested 12 pairs of New Balance shoes—totaling more than 55 hours of walking and running. 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.After testing, we evaluated each New Balance shoe for its cushioning, fit, responsiveness, comfort, stability, and blister protection, and then we scored each attribute with a rating of 1 (would not recommend) to 5 (highly recommend). Each pair was also given an overall star rating, which represents our general impression of the shoe and its performance and whether we would recommend it.

Despite being tough on the outside, the foam midsole provided a comfy ride, while the upper’s no-sew construction and breathability offered good protection from blisters. While the shoe already has a spacious toe box, it’s available in wide sizes for those who need some extra space. Plus, the streamlined, sleek look makes it a nice alternative to bulky hiking shoes. They’re more expensive than many road running shoes but are a good investment for avid trail runners. But the material is a bit thin, so the 1080v12 may not be the best choice for cold weather. They also come in wide sizes for those who need extra room in the toe box. While some New Balance shoes are on the expensive side, others, like the Fresh Foam Arishi v3, are more budget-friendly. During our test, the Arishi v3 held its own and performed just as well as some of the pricier models. It’s lightweight yet supportive, making it a solid choice for walking, running, or casual wear. It’s also durable, with a rubber sole that provided grippy traction during test walks and runs. A popular brand for people with wide feet, New Balance delivers with their 608v5, which features a roomy toe box and comes in several different width options. During test walks, the shoe's plush cushioning provided a comfortable fit, and padded collar and tongue added to the overall plush feel.Other New Balance shoes are specifically designed for activities like trail running or walking and are best used for those particular purposes. With fit, performance, and construction at the heart of every pair, New Balance trainers are engineered for endurance and developed with style. Certain New Balance shoes, such as their running shoes, can be used for a range of activities. “New Balance shoes are great for running, boot camp activities, and HIIT workouts with lunges, jumping, and squats,” Pamela Mehta, MD, orthopedic surgeon and medical advisor to The Good Feet Store, says. “They provide effective support laterally, medially, and to the heel cup.” New Balance men’s running shoes are renowned for their sleek designs, lightweight materials and supreme cushioning. For something better suited to long-distance running, opt for the 880, which features a breathable mesh FantomFit upper with a no-sew overlay engineered for ultra-light support.
