610v3 Athletic Trail Running Shoe - Men's

You don't take your scotch neat and you rather like it when the different foods on your plate bleed together. It follows that you'd choose the New Balance Men's 610v3 Athletic Trail Running Shoe as your go-to piece of footwear when it's time to flee—for the trails in hills or just for a quick run around your suburban sanctuary. The soles combine road-friendly lugs with toothsome trail lugs so you can run on the streets, on the trails, or even a combination thereof. Mesh uppers with synthetic reinforcement give your toes room to find a rhythm whether you're running or hiking. Steep slopes or slippery sidewalks won't leave you grasping for support when you have the 610v3 keeping you vertically situated.
The mesh uppers help hot air escape and synthetic reinforcements minimize lateral movement. The XLT footbeds add cushion to your clomping, and come out if you want to use custom-molded inserts instead. Not only a play on words, but the Acteva Lite midsoles take the pounding of your footstrike, ask for more, and weigh 24% less than standard foam midsoles. Before you say "big whoop," know that these midsoles soften your footsteps without turning your feet into lead bricks so you can run longer with happy feet.
The all-terrain outsoles finish off these 12mm drop shoes. The blend of road and trail lug configuration provides instant flexibility in that you can hit moderate trails or vicious road runs without need two pairs of shoes. If extreme-terrain ultras are your thing, you'll probably want shoes with, say, a snake-bite-proof ankle gaiter. But for everything else, be it running or hiking, the 610v3 gives you a solid grip on the ground and cushions each step, mile after mile after mile.
