instead, these picks were recommended using expert knowledge and evaluation. Long story short, New Balance has been synonymous with quality kicks for decades, and the shoes below show exactly why.While many stability shoes can feel a bit clunky underfoot, the 860 blends stability with responsiveness to make a great trainer for moderate overpronators. That’s largely thanks to the pairing of a dual-density medial post and TruFuse cushioning (itself a combination of two layers of bouncy foam) in the midsole, which together correct overpronation and create firm cushioning. With its snug upper and heel counter, testers found it kept their feet in place and felt light and springy compared to other stability shoes.The neutral shoe in New Balance’s 800 series, the 880 is a workhorse shoe with a medium amount of cushioning—it’s good for training days when you’re recovering and could use a little extra support.

The TruFuse dual-layer foam doesn’t squish and delivers good energy return, and a breathable upper keeps your feet cool, even when the mile count starts to climb. Testers also reported that the outsole held firm on slippery, wet roads.The 890 is the lightest shoe in the 800 series of trainers, and it’s built for speedy workouts and runners who like a lean, fast shoe. The knit upper is designed for breathability and flexibility in the forefoot, and the deconstructed heel saves weight—but don’t expect much support in this shoe. You’ll ride on a layer of New Balance’s bouncy EVA-based REVLite foam for good ground feel, and this updated version comes with reduced rubber on the outsole to trim even more weight.Featured as one of the best lightweight shoes for 2019, the Beacon serves up a plush, foam-based ride while barely tipping the scales at just 7.5 ounces for the men’s and 6.2 ounces for the women’s.

That means they could confine heavy rubber to just a few high-wear spots in the forefoot and heel and save weight as a result. Top it off with a light, breathable upper, and you’ve got a shoe that’s ready for whatever kind of run you have in mind.The 990 has been in the New Balance lineup for 30 years, and it continues to enjoy a loyal following today. The latest version continues the shoe’s winning combo of cushioning and stability, as well as its manufacturing heritage—New Balance proudly produces these stateside. The ENCAP technology in the midsole is the centerpiece here: EVA foam provides cushion, and it’s wrapped in a polyurethane shell to support your foot and also keep the foam from compacting over time.
