New Balance Retro Running Shoes for Nostalgics

New Balance running shoes make no exception when it comes to bringing back into attention past trend fashions, under the generic tag of Retro. There is a simple explanation for this kind of products: each generation has its fans, who won’t stop loving their times, no matter what changes they may have undergone over the past ten or twenty years. This is how it comes that Woodstock and the hippie movement still have their exponents and their fans today, why Michael Jackson still has his huge pool of fans, like the current events have shown us, and why Madonna makes waves in all countries where she goes on tour to sing in concerts.

The New Balance shoes offer three choices of retro running shoes for men: the U420LK, the M480WR and the M410NYU. All these models feature a simple, classic look and style, matching most sports outfits available. As they are supposed to remind us of past times, the shoes don’t incorporate any of those modern technologies that made New Balance shoes gain a top ranking in their class. Yet, these retro kicks are lightweight and versatile, with their solid rubber outsole and their leather or mesh upper.  Amongst these three models, the 480 is maybe the best, as it has an excellent quality perforated leather upper and it features a striking colorway. The outsole is very durable, thanks to the N-Durance rubber compound it’s made of.

New Balance Tennis Shoes

If you ever played tennis, then you probably know by now how important good tennis shoes are. If you don’t wear appropriate footwear, you may get in trouble with your ankles, because tennis requires sudden moves, so your shoes have to support your feet even in unexpected situations. I’ve got many pairs of shoes, but nothing compares to the New Balance tennis shoes. I’d recommend them any time, because of their high-impact absorbing capacity, which is a must in tennis.

We are going to stop today at my favorite model of New Balance tennis shoes, the 1004. This shoe incorporates four breakthrough technologies that make them so efficient:

• Lightning Dry – this is the moisture transfer management system that keeps feet dry throughout the entire game.
• Abzorb SBS – this is the shock absorption system proprietary to New Balance
• NLock – integrated lacing and webbing system which offers your shoe a tight fit thanks to the lower midfoot support
• LockDown Liner – this system secures your feet without smothering them

The 1004 offers a very good lateral support, it’s light weight and comfortable. Besides, the combination of back and orange places it highly amongst my favorite sport shoes ever. Of course, no shoe in the world would improve my tennis skills, but at least  I can have fun with a sport I like, without worrying of killing my feet. It’s true that no tennis shoes ever will look like the Christian Louboutin shoes, but I suppose my tennis partners won’t care too much about that when I’m going to beat them.

New Balance Running Shoes for Low Arched Feet

New Balance running shoes are amongst the most comfortable sports shoes ever invented. That’s because of all the research, innovation and technology that lays behind each shoe model. For example, if you were used to wear the New Balance 1123 running shoes and you now think to refresh your wardrobe, you may want to consider the new and improved 1123 model, which was designed with over-pronators in mind and which is recommended for those people with a lower foot arch. Stability and cushioning are at their best in this shoe, so if you are flat-footed, you could give these shoes a try. There are persons that said they can now run even 20 miles a week without problems, despite their flat feet.

The New Balance 1123 running shoes weigh 414 grams, which is about 14.6 oz. Featuring the Lightning Dry technology, these New Balance running shoes manage moisture transfer in a highly efficient way, therefore your feet will always stay dry and refreshed, even in case of longer running sessions. If you like to run at night or in the evening, when sunlight dims, you’ll be safe with these shoes, because they feature a reflective detail, in order to make you visible for drivers.

In terms of looks, the 1123 have nothing special, being rather a dull model, in white and gray. Over-pronators who care about how their shoes look, could then take a lok to the 817 model, which is the improved version of New Balance 816, offering a better stability and helping prevent over-pronation thanks to the Medial Post situated on the inside edge of the shoe. These New Balance Running shoes are also recommended for diabetics, the Medicare  / HCPCS code being A5500 Diabetic shoe. The Abzorb (TM) cushioning technology is incorporated in both heel and forefoot, which makes these shoes exceptionally comfortable and protective to the joints. Available in a fancy combination of white, silver and orange, these shoes look sophisticated and modern, being in the same time at the top of the comfort for runners. TRhey are a bit lighter than the 1123, weighing about 397 grams / 14 oz.
