New Balance Running Shoes Make Every Run Feel Like Less Work
Running, whether in competition or purely for fitness, can feel like a lot of work – unless you’re wearing New Balance running shoes. Those who enjoy running have a passion for it; the more you run, the farther you sometimes want to go. When you’re competing against other runners, you know that the lighter you feel, the faster you can run. In order for your feet to “fly” without feeling like they’re being weighed down or encumbered, you need the right footwear. More to the point, you need New Balance running shoes, the athletic shoe that is chosen by more runners than any other running shoe in the world.
Some athletic footwear simply isn’t meant for speed, and in fact is designed more for those who walk at a leisurely pace, or just like to wear them with shorts, jeans or other casual apparel because of their comfort. However, when you are a serious runner or a formidable opponent, you want the best shoe for your needs, and for the money you spend. New Balance running shoes offer a wide variety for every need, whether you need extra support, superior cushioning, support in the arch area or just a lightweight shoe that protects your feet while allowing for lightning speed.
In recent years, more and more people are trending toward what has become known as “barefoot” or “minimalist” running, which is just what the name implies – running barefoot, or as close to that as possible. Why? The 
feeling is light, free and natural, although many have confessed it’s a bit rough on the feet, particularly on tough terrain. New Balance Running Shoes have an answer for this, not surprisingly – the 2012 Minimus Zero line, available in both trail and road models. While there have been rave reviews on both, the trail model is a radical change from what most people know of New Balance running shoes.
The MT (Minimus Trail) is a minimalist, lighter shoe which features a zero-dropped sole, meaning that the height of the heel and forefoot is equal. For many runners, this has helped to alleviate knee pain, which is often associated with a shoe that is higher in the forefoot and lower in the heel. Now that this issue has been solved, runners are finding that they can run faster than ever, feeling light as air all the way – and without suffering for it afterward. These New Balance running shoes also feature less rubber, as the designers of the shoe shaved a significant amount off of the sole, resulting in a shoe that is far lighter in weight and offers more flexibility, something minimalists love in a running shoe.
If you enjoy running trails, you’re going to love the New Balance MT series of running shoes. The Minimus Zero is ideal for running on non-technical trails, while the MT 10/20 and MT110 models offer a bit more protection in the sole area. Composed of round pods, the soles of most of the minimalist design options offer a “sticky” feel which has been touted to provide good traction even on the hardest rock surfaces.
More perks? The mesh upper of the Minimus Zero trail shoe is so thin, you can literally see through it. This allows for great ventilation, while making the shoe even more lightweight for those “barefoot” runners who desire that light as air, unencumbered feeling. If you’re ready for a shoe that feels like you’re wearing nothing at all and offers a run that feels like less work, try the new line of New Balance running shoes. There’s simply nothing else like them in the world when it comes to quality, comfort, durability, and yes, even price.
