Best guides

In our New Balance trail running shoe reviews, we cut out the nonsense and get straight into what each shoe delivers (and lacks) as a trail partner. We test shoes rigorously in the lab and on our feet to ensure that all critical details are covered. We review New Balance trail running shoes that are compatible with different kinds of runners - whether they have narrow or wide feet, are beginners or seasoned runners, and are forefoot or heel-strikers.
