Back to Results New Balance 800 Manufacturer: New Balance Price: $80 Reviewed in: Dec 2007 Shoe Guide Runner's World Awards: Editor's Choice Shoe Type: Trail See Specifications See a Video Review Disclaimer Runner's World Awards: Editor's Choice We Say: A great shoe, the new 800 features a deep diamond-shaped lug design of both sticky and hard rubber for good traction. Nylon bands connect the laces to the midsole and work with the shoe's tongue-less upper to deliver an outstanding fit. The mesh upper dries quickly and provides an air-conditioned ride. Results from the Shoe Lab showed the forefoot to be the most flexible in this guide, which adds to its fast feel. Recommended for biomechanically efficient runners who want a fast-paced training or racing shoe. Wear-tester Says: "The 800 fit like a glove. I like that the tread pattern didn't hold onto small rocks."--Paul Dovin, 50, Reading Be the First to Review this Shoe Gender: Female Shoe Type: Trail Sizes: 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 10.5, 11, 11.5, 12 Weight: 8 oz.
