Overview

Long shifts, daily walks and road runs suit the New Balance stability shoe, which pairs maximum Fresh Foam X cushioning with support for feet that roll inward. An engineered knit upper adds comfort.

Support plus deep cushioning helps overpronators stay comfortable through long days. Neutral runners will find it firmer and heavier than they need.

Who it's for

Nurses, retail workers and runners with flat arches suit the supportive cushioned platform. Runners with a neutral stride should look at a neutral model.
