I love when a new running shoe model comes along and grabs me from the very first step. The New Balance Balos lives up to the hype with it’s defined rocker shape and beloved NB Foam cushioning.
As someone who tests a lot of running shoes, I LOVE that part of my job, but also find it means sometimes I’m a bit more critical of shoes…and it definitely means I always wonder “why” when there’s a completely new model.
But this shoe, I was excited to put on the moment I heard about it and it did not disappoint.
We’re entering that new fuzzy territory of super trainers. A running shoe that’s designed to be fast for training, to help reduce some leg fatigue, but isn’t quite as top notch as the race day shoes with a carbon plate. The NB Balos absolutely lives up to the speed design and will be a shoe that many mid-packers could race in happily.
Let’s dive in with the specs and then more about the feel and fit.

What is this new shoe and who is it for? A great question to start us off, so here we go.
Runners that are seeking that maximum cushioned feeling, but with some spring and a little speed are going to love the New Balance Balos…
