A budget daily trainer for beginners and casual runners who want soft comfort over performance; the appeal is the low price, not the ride.
Soft, cushioned underfoot with a moderate 6 mm drop, tuned for comfort rather than speed or responsiveness.
Standard fit that runs true to size for most people, with a breathable mesh upper. Only a standard width is listed here, though New Balance often offers wide options for this model.
New or casual runners wanting an affordable, comfortable shoe for easy daily miles and all-day wear.
You want a responsive ride for tempo work or long-distance training, where the budget foam and modest stack fall short.
