Runner's World Shoe Lab Test Results
Most runners cringe whenever their favorite shoe is updated, but not to fear when it comes to New Balance, the king of consistency. The only changes are in the upper, mostly in the forefoot. This update features a more rounded toe than did its predecessor the 831, and the one-piece upper fits more snugly in the midfoot. Actually, the 833 fits and feels more like the original 830 than the 831. Our wear-testers who have worn the two previous versions appreciated the light, breezy upper, better forefoot fit, and exceptional cushioning -- especially for long races or fast training.

This shoe is awesome - very light weight - the mesh is nice and cool for the summer (or year round here) and the cushion is superior! This is by far the best shoe I have ever used in the 13 years I have been running..
