Updates to New Balance 365
- The New Balance 365 is designed as a walking shoe. The overall construction of this product aims to deliver a comfortable ride for everyday wear. It features the CUSH+, a cushioning unit that offers both comfort and a stable platform. It is meant to be durable as it serves as the outsole of this footwear.
- The upper is made from mesh fabric with synthetic overlays. The mesh ensures that the foot chamber is kept ventilated while the overlays protect the high-abrasion areas and add support to the midfoot.
New Balance 365 size and fit
The New Balance 365 is available in men’s and women’s sizes and generally runs true to size. Like most walking shoes from New Balance, it comes in different width options: D - Medium, 2E - Wide, and 4E - Extra Wide for the men’s version, and B - Medium and D - Wide for the women’s variation. The padded tongue and collar delivers a snug fit and should be considered when choosing the right size.
Midsole
The shoe features the CUSH+ midsole. This proprietary foam technology is engineered to be soft for shock absorption, but durable, so it does not quickly wear out. The underside has flex grooves in the forefoot area to promote foot flexion. It also has tread patterns that enhance the traction of the platform.
This product comes with a removable molded foam insole. It adds another layer of comfort and protection to the pads of the foot.
Upper
The New Balance 365 employs a mesh material for its upper. This fabric is soft to promote movement and breathable to keep the interior well ventilated.
Synthetic overlays form a cage-like structure in the midfoot that integrates with the lacing system. This design adds lateral support when the laces are tightened.
Felt-like fabric overlays reinforce the toe box and quarter sections. They protect the underlying mesh fabric from abrasion. Perforations in the quarter promote heat dissipation.
The traditional lace-up closure keeps the foot securely inside the trainer. The instep is kept comfortable by the padded tongue as it prevents the laces from cutting the top of the foot.
The plush collar keeps the ankle area free from irritation. It also holds the foot down and prevents accidental shoe removal.
