Product Summary

This series by New Balance is made to be supportive, sturdy, and used every day. It’s not the most attractive tennis shoe on the market, but does include super-soft cushioning, a durable rubber outsole, and a PU foam insert to keep your feet feeling their best.

The mix of suede and mesh in the upper gives you both a structured fit, but also some breathability to help with airflow so your feet don’t begin to overheat. They are designed for durability and efficiency and make a great option for many customers.
