Overview
Long walks, standing shifts and runs on pavement are where this New Balance stability shoe fits, with a ROLLBAR post that limits rear-foot roll. An ENCAP midsole wraps foam in a polyurethane rim for lasting support.
Rear-foot control and a durable midsole suit runners and walkers who need firm support mile after mile. The title says made in the US, but the listing notes production there ended, so origin is unclear.
Who it's for
Women who overpronate or want strong rear-foot support for running and long days of walking. Runners who prefer a soft, flexible neutral shoe will find it stiff.

Performance notes
Stability comes from the ROLLBAR post resisting rear-foot rotation, and the polyurethane rim around the foam core holds its shape over many miles. The trade of firmness for durability shows most on long runs.
