7 Best New Balance Walking Shoes For Men, 20+ Shoes Tested in 2023

If you're looking for a great middle between the more traditional, lower-stacked NB 880 v11 and the uber cushy NB Fresh Foam More v3, that's where the Fresh Foam X 1080 v12 sits. It's a comfortable cruiser that's perfect for anything easy to moderate. And with the copious amount of foam it possesses, it's a gem in long-distance runs where protection and stability are at the forefront. 

New Balance’s stability running shoe provides amazing support for overpronators. Ever improving, the v12 has brought some new technology into this shoe while bringing back some of the features of the old upper. 

Having tested every other New Balance walking shoe currently available in the market, we can confirm that the rumors are true! The Ralaxa calls the shot among all the NB walking shoes!

Just by looking at the category it reigned supreme in, it is obvious that the New Balance Ralaxa is the lightest model in the brand’s range. At 7.2 oz, it sits far beyond the average weight of a walking shoe at 10 oz. If you think this is impressive, you should learn about its versatility.

We know it is common to use walking shoes casually, but this pair’s classic yet modern aesthetic paired with its supportive build can elevate your daily walks and hangouts.

And it gets better! All of these for only $65? It’s mind-blowing, to say the least.

Strut the streets in comfort and style with the New Balance 327. Inspired by several running shoes, this model stands out for its classic design with a contemporary vibe. It supplies lasting comfort, superb ventilation, and a reliable grip, designed to keep you feeling comfortable all day long.

A heavy-duty trail beast, the Balance Fresh Foam Hierro v6 has proved to us it's more than capable of taking a beating from harsh elements! It crushes everything underfoot and will last plenty of miles. After putting it to the test, we found that it works best as a road-to-trail transition shoe and a light to moderate dedicated trail shoe

Comfort? Check. Stylish? Check. Podiatrist-recommended? Check. Revel in these incredible features without breaking the bank. We introduce you to the pair that took first place for the most affordable NB walking shoe - the 623 v3!

After comparing 20+ New Balance footwear, the numbers reveal that the New Balance 623 v3 has the best value for money in the range. Selling for merely $70, we got to experience every necessity we require in an adequate walking shoe in this pair!

We were taken aback by its superb comfort and support! The pain that we usually experience after being on our feet for 10 minutes was nowhere to be found, thanks to the 623 v3’s stable base, shock-absorbing midsoles, and pillowy yet supportive cushioning.

The shoe also looked stylish to boot! With chunky/dad sneakers still in fashion, this pair boosted our confidence as we received many compliments from strangers. 

Despite it not having revolutionary features, the NB 623 v3 ticks off all the essentials for our walking escapades. It certainly earned its spot on the top!
