Minimus 1690v1 Trail Running Shoe - Women's

Your buttoned-down look for work hides the ravenous trail-loving beast within. When you lace up the New Balance Women's Minimus 1690v1 Trail Running Shoe, let the monster run free over crumbling concrete on your way to hard-packed urban trail or chunky mountain paths. This low-profile shoe tackles loose gravel with gusto and sports enough cushion to keep the city streets from bruising your paws. Whether you entirely shun asphalt streets or enjoy a carnivorous approach to running (enjoying both trails and roads), the 1690v1 keeps you running strong for miles yet to come.
No-sew construction gives the uppers a sock-like fit for confidence with every footstrike as you scramble over obstacles without the weight and irritation of excessive seams. The mesh keeps a constant flow of fresh air going over your toes so your paws don't overheat. Additional protection at the tips of your toes and around the heel reduces the risk of running into rocks and tree stumps. The EVA foam insole helps you bounce over potholes and branches and keeps your footstrike from being a rude awakening.
Revlite foam fills out the midsole without changing the minimalist-minded 4mm drop. Lighter than standard midsole foams by 30%, Revlite offers cushioned durability and resilience for long-running comfort. The Ionix lugged rubber sole offers multi-directional traction over variable terrain and a steady grip on certain surfaces. Loose gravel on paths makes you giggle, city streets give you a kick, and remote forest trails send your spirits soaring—and now you have a shoe that's ready for your fast-paced exploits.
