Runner's World 2017 Spring Shoe Guide. New Balance Fresh Foam Zante v3 $100.

This lightweight, responsive shoe is light enough for speedwork but soft enough to handle long runs and half-marathon races. New Balance changed the shape of the sidewall and outsole protrusions. Underfoot, reshaped treads are smaller and spread side to side, with small notches in each to increase flexibility.

About a month ago I got a chance to do the shoe trail with a local running company. Wore the New New Balance Fresh Foam Zante out for a speed workout (hill repeats) in the park on dry asphalt. Everything felt good about the shoe, the forefoot width, overall weight, ventilation, grip, lacing pressure, heel lock down.

The only thing I noticed was the insole keep moving backwards (I can feel the insole tip under my toes) inside the right-foot shoe. I had to stop a few times during the workout to remove the shoe and re-seat the insole. Even after re-seating the insole, it keeps sliding back.

New Balance Fresh Foam Zante. Between the Zante and 1500 v1, we'd pick the latter.

It has a more supportive midfoot and heel section which works better for PF, and the multi-piece outsole will perform better on light (unpaved flats, wood chip/bark, fine gravel) trails. Haven't tested the Cloudracer, so can't offer an opinion on how it compares with either the Zante or 1500.

New Balance Running Shoe. New Balance Fresh Foam 1080v7 $150.

The 1080 is the most cushioned shoe in the Fresh Foam lineup. The forefoot is more flexible, thanks in part to a reconfigured outsole. The hexagon tread shapes are smaller and clustered in areas where there is more pressure from the foot, improving durability and allowing the rubber to bend easier.

This New Balance shoe is geared towards faster runners looking for a lightweight and responsive shoe without sacrificing comfort or performance. While it's soft and cushioned, the shoe is stiff enough to give you the feedback you demand.

One big change from the original Zante, introduced in 2015, is a roomier fit around the arch and an extended midfoot saddle. The result is a running shoe that fits a wider range of feet without feeling too tight or constricted. The upgraded version has been named a Runner's World “Best Buy.”

What were once considered performance shoes are now impractical heavyweights, but they look great with cuffed jeans or chinos, even if you're unlikely to break your half-marathon PB in them. For styling, think suede and leather patchwork uppers and muted colours that contrast sharply with the bright tones worn by today's athletes.

Check out the classic M320 from New Balance (named as the number one running trainer by Runner's World in 1976, you know) or designs from Adidas, Diadora and Puma, which all keep the vintage appeal.

Runners World 2017 Spring Shoe Guide. Adidas Supernova $130.

Adidas overhauled the Supernova from top to bottom, making it softer to appeal to more runners. To amplify the cushioning, it added even more Boost in the heel for a bouncier feeling. The heel and forefoot cushioning have gotten considerably softer while a rail of firmer EVA foam helps runners stay centered over the midsole.
