A redesign of the previous Vongo V4, the new and upgraded Vongo V5's are perfect for long-distance running and everyday running and training, they are lighter than their predecessor and more cushioned.
Hypoknit Upper
The upper of the New Balance Vongo V5 is constructed from a Hypoknit materials that allows air to fully permeate the entire material, providing a constant supply of fresh cool air. Additionally, the materials are stretchy and supportive to allow your feet to spread as you run on unforgiving surfaces. The Vongo v5 offers a bootie-style construction that offers a glove-like fit, and enhances comfort and eliminates the chances of chafing and skin irritation throughout every run. A 3D screen print midfoot cage provides a locked-in, supportive fit while a moulded sock liner offers step-in, next-to-foot cushioning and adds a bit more comfort on longer runs.
Fresh Foam X Midsole
The newest version of Fresh Foam is a more energetic rebound than its predecessor. The full-length Fresh Foam keeps the cushioning consistent and improves the transition in the gait cycle. The innovative technique of making the medial side a bit firmer and more elevated smoothly and gradually holds off overpronation. The Fresh Foam Vongo is still fitted with the New Balance signature plush, but firm and responsive cushioning. The midsole is also able to follow the natural bending on the foot, allowing the feet to move comfortably in a range of directions. Completing the midsole is a medial post which helps to control pronation and keep feet stable and supported.
Blown Rubber Outsole
The outsole is dominated by blown rubber in most parts. There are various lugs of different sizes and shapes that afford excellent traction on the road and groomed trails. A noteworthy inclusion is the deep and substantial cuts that run from the heel to the midfoot which increases flexibility and helps with the movement from the heel to the forefoot.
