New Balance Women's Fresh Foam Arishi Trail GTX Sneaker

Product Information

There are a few key features to know when shopping for New Balance trail shoes. First, the company has two performance cushioning platforms: Fresh Foam and Fuel Cell. Fresh Foam is EVA-based and found in many shoes across the New Balance lineup. Generally speaking, it provides a cushioned, bouncy feel with less weight. For trail shoes, the Fresh Foam cushioning is often made a little firmer to better support your feet—important for the lateral movements common in trail running. Trail runners can choose from options featuring upgraded tread outsoles to provide versatile traction for on and off-road activities, engineered mesh uppers with no-sew overlays for lightweight durability, Fresh Foam technology for ultra-cushioned and lightweight support, Toe Protect technology for extra durability that protects feet, laser perforations for ventilation and beyond. Fuel Cell is used in New Balance’s speed-oriented shoes. For the trail, the only option is the Summit Unknown, which utilizes the foam to create a responsive and nimble running experience. Other Trail Tech New Balance men’s running shoes are renowned for their sleek designs, lightweight materials and supreme cushioning. For something better suited to long-distance running, opt for the 880, which features a breathable mesh FantomFit upper with a no-sew overlay engineered for ultra-light support.

The Expert: I became a runner in middle school and have covered running and outdoor gear for years, both on-staff at Runner’s World and as a freelance journalist. I’ve written more about running shoes than I have any other type of gear, and I have firsthand experience with models from a range of brands, including New Balance. What to Consider When Shopping for New Balance Trail Shoes Constructed with waterproof GORE-TEX® Invisible Fit technology, the New Balance Fresh Foam Arishi Trail Goretex men's running shoes combat moisture to help keep you dry in the rain or mud. The rugged AT TREAD outsole provides optimal traction on the trail or the road, while the FRESH FOAM midsole offers cushioning for unmatched comfort through the longest trail runs. For added protection, the reinforced tip can help prevent damage to toes on uneven terrain.

Waterproof trail running shoes

Explore options engineered for trail runners, featuring technology like engineered mesh uppers with no-sew overlays for lightweight durability, and upgraded tread outsoles or Vibram outsoles to provide versatile traction for on and off-road activities. Not to mention, Toe Protect technology for extra durability and laser perforations for ventilation.

FRESH FOAM midsole cushioning is precision engineered to deliver an ultra-cushioned, lightweight ride Compared to other brands, especially trail-focused shoemakers like Salomon and Inov-8, New Balance’s trail shoe lineup is small. But that doesn’t mean these shoes skimp on performance. One reason to consider New Balance is if you already like the company’s road shoes. The brand uses the same midsole cushioning foams (more on those later) across its road and trail models, so you can create a similar running experience off the pavement. Another reason to shop New Balance? It offers affordable trail shoes, most notably the Fresh Foam Garoé below, that are great if you’re looking for less of an upfront investment. New Balance offers the comfortable fit, durable support and technology-focused design needed for your trek up any mountain or down any trail, whether it’s a leisurely stroll up your favorite mountain path or a mission to shave the last few seconds off your trail running personal best. With uniquely designed hiking shoes and boots, New Balance never asks you to sacrifice comfort for cutting-edge features.
