Overview
Fresh Foam X with updated midsole mapping drives the New Balance road trainer, adding more foam in wide areas and flex at the narrow points. An engineered mesh upper gives a breathable, supportive fit.
Deep, smooth cushioning works for runners of every level on long road miles. Neutral runners benefit most, since there is no guidance for overpronation.
Who it's for
Long runs, easy days and all-day wear on pavement suit the soft ride. Overpronators and trail runners should look at a different model.
Pros and cons
- Smooth heel-to-toe transitions
- Breathable engineered mesh
- Works for many paces
- No stability features
- Not water resistant
Performance notes
Ride quality comes from foam distribution, with more volume under wide landing zones and more flex where the sole narrows. That mapping makes transitions feel smooth rather than mushy.
