Category: Stability / Everyday Running

Weight: Approximately 11.7 oz (331 g) for men

Heel-to-Toe Drop (Offset): 6 mm

Stack Height: 40 mm (heel) / 34 mm (forefoot)

Midsole: Dual-density Fresh Foam X cushioning with a softer top layer and firmer bottom layer

Support Tech: Integrated Stability Plane (replacing traditional hard medial posts) with a wide base and raised sidewalls

Upper: Refined engineered mesh for breathability and lockdown

Outsole: Blown rubber with an aggressive rocker geometry for smooth heel-to-toe transitions

Length Fit: Fits true to size for standard New Balance wearers, though runners transitioning from roomier brands like Brooks or Saucony may want to consider going up a half size.

Midfoot Security: Utilizes a gusseted tongue and engineered mesh upper to tightly hug the middle of the foot, preventing unwanted shifting.

Toe Box Volume: Provides more vertical and horizontal wiggle room in the forefoot compared to previous versions, accommodating natural toe spread.

Width Options: Available in multiple widths—including standard (D), wide (2E), and extra-wide (4E)—making it easy to dial in a custom fit.

Underfoot Platform: Built on a wider, stiffer base featuring a full-length Stability Plane that locks the heel and midfoot in place.

Managing Overpronation: The built-in "Stability Plane" (a firm foam layer) guides your foot to prevent excessive inward rolling.

Flat Feet and Arch Support: The rigid, supportive platform helps offload pressure on the inside of the foot.

Easy Recovery Runs: The thick, plush foam absorbs impact well during slow and steady daily miles.

All-Day Standing: The wide base and secure heel lock make it a comfortable choice for long shifts on hard floors.

Wider Forefeet and Bunions: The updated toe box offers extra volume so your toes can spread out naturally.
