New Balance Fresh Foam X 880v13 GORE-TEX Women's Running Shoes
When it comes to running, going the extra mile isn't just a figure of speech. Whether it's morning exercise, intense training, or head-clearing relaxation, a daily regimen of training miles, combined with ordinary movement throughout the day, demands a lot from a running shoe. With running comfortably for longer in mind, the 880 was built to provide consistent performance for the neutral runner. The Fresh Foam X 880v13 is a modernisation that can be seen and felt.
Double Layer Knit, Engineered Mesh Upper
A new, updated upper to their predecessors, the New Balance 880v13 utilises an engineered mesh upper, providing durability and protection, whilst enhancing in-shoe comfort. This construction will provide your feet with a constant supply of airflow, to keep your feet feeling comfortable and cool when the race heats up. The uppers are engineered in specific areas of the shoe, providing you with foot support and a great level of stretch for a cosy fit and feel. As well as this, a no-sew material application means reduced weight plus a minimal risk of rubbing and blisters. A moulded external heel counter locks down the midfoot and helps to control heel movement so you'll always feel supported. As well as this, GORE-TEX fabric ensures waterproof protection for your feet. To supply you with a locked-in, secure fit, the shoes have adjustable laces, allowing you to focus solely on the run ahead.
Fresh Foam X Midsole
Providing you with the softest version of the 880s, the 13th edition utilises Fresh Foam X cushioning. Fresh Foam X provides you with an excellent level of energetic rebound, giving plush underfoot comfort, and protecting you from injuries during high-impact elements of your race. The full-length Fresh Foam keeps the cushioning consistent and improves the transition in the gait cycle. The top-bed foam and Fresh Foam X underfoot construction displaces heel impact and offers a responsive approach to cushioning. The Fresh Foam X 880v13 is still fitted with the New Balance signature plush, but firm and responsive cushioning. This midsole uses bio-based materials to offer a smaller carbon footprint without needing to sacrifice performance.
Blown Rubber Outsole
A blown rubber outsole completes the Fresh Foam X 880v13, supplying a sticky grip for multi-directional traction. The rubber is able to withstand damage from uneven terrain to give you added confidence when out running. In addition to this, the rubber can create a solid bond of friction with a variety of different surfaces, crucial for control as you race around the roads. This will reduce the risk of injury from slipping or rolling your ankle, as you will be held in a firm and upright position. The outsole of the Fresh Foam X 880v13 Running Shoes provides you with a reliable and long-lasting race buddy.
