Running Trainers
New Balance offers the widest variety of shoes in running trainers, which offer options for all varieties of runners. The 498 is a traditionally, classically designed running shoe that offers support and comfort for men and women. The 1011 is designed specifically for runners who put in a lot of miles, and offers lightweight design combined with maximum motion control, with Rollbar GR technology for rear foot stability. The 800, with models for men and women, is designed specifically for ChiRunning, the sport that combines tai chi with running, and features a Phantom Liner for lightweight support as well as a Lightning Dry liner.
Racing Shoes
New Balance also offers a wide selection of shoes for competitive runners, including track and field shoes for distance runners and sprinters. These include the 505, for both men and women, which is designed for competitive cross-country runners. Features include synthetic lightweight design, a lugged outsole, and spikes for excellent traction on all terrains. The 205 is a unisex design for marathons and long-distance running that features ACTEVA midsole cushions and Abzorb heel cushioning.
Trail Running Shoes
New Balance offers six designs of trail and off-road running shoes, each with a men's and women's variety. One of these shoes, the 070, is the first "green" New Balance shoe. Made from recycled material and with a reduced waste design, the 070 is an excellent choice for men and women looking for a responsible trail shoe. The 904 offers trail support in a lightweight and high-traction running shoe and was a 2009 Best Adventure Gear selection by National Geographic Magazine. The 840 offers a hardy trail shoe, up for the most heavy-duty trail running, with a New Balance Phantom Liner to ensure ultimate comfort.
