New Balance Women's Fresh Foam Arishi Trail GTX Sneaker

Product Information

The entire bottom of the shoe is covered in hexagonal lugs that are roughly 2mm tall and have a sharp bite and edge oriented directionally. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, and in fact, many people prefer to run in a far more sensitive than protective shoe. Power through any terrain with the FF Hierro trail running shoe or if you need a reliable stability shoe, try the FF Vongo. The rugged AT TREAD outsole helps provide enhanced traction on the trail or the road, while the FRESH FOAM midsole offers cushioning for unmatched comfort through the longest trail runs. There is no rockplate sandwiched into the midsole that adds to rigidity, and the Fresh Foam compound feels fairly thin overall.

However, we found it hard to get a lock down fit, one of the key elements of stability, and so most often ran on mellow single track, like the Metolius-Wendigo Trail near Sisters, OR.

Constructed with waterproof GORE-TEX® Invisible Fit technology, the New Balance Fresh Foam Arishi Trail Goretex men's running shoes combat moisture to help keep you dry in the rain or mud. The rugged AT TREAD outsole provides optimal traction on the trail or the road, while the FRESH FOAM midsole offers cushioning for unmatched comfort through the longest trail runs. The New Balance Fresh Foam 1080 running shoes are a great choice for those looking for luxurious comfort for the long miles. The AT TREAD outsole offers optimal traction in any environment, while the reinforced tip can help protect your toes from damage upon impact with roots or rocks. Equipped with waterproof GORE-TEX® Invisible Fit technology, the Fresh Foam Arishi Trail Goretex men's running shoe is built to withstand your trail running adventures in any weather.

This means it's a hybrid design that's meant to add a little bit of added grip if you venture onto trails, but also remains low profile and fairly firm for enhanced durability on hard surfaces like asphalt or concrete. Toe Protect technology helps to guard toes against rocks and debris, while the upper’s no-sew construction provides a sleek and supportive fit. The smooth transitions of the pinnacle underfoot cushioning experience are fine-tuned with updated midsole foam and enhanced forefoot stiffness. As such, you will feel most of what you are stepping on, requiring a cautious approach in gnarly terrain, but adding a pleasant amount of trail feel on mellower trails.The shoe also has very little padding in the upper, with a virtually unpadded tongue, and minimal cushioning around the ankle opening that left us wanting a little bit more.
