All Women's Road Shoes

Daily Trainers

The baseline definition of a running shoe. Daily Trainers lean on time-proven designs, technologies and features for dependable cushioning, support and comfort. They're a staple in every runner's closet, and if you are new to running shoes, then you should start your journey here.
Performance Trainers

Performance Trainers provide a springy feel and make longer runs easier and faster runs faster. While quicker than Daily Trainers, Performance Trainers are not nearly as fast as Super Shoes. Due to a focus on keeping things light weight, Performance Trainers are less durable than Daily Trainers. These can also be a good option for one's first race shoe.
Super Shoes

Super Shoes are the fastest running shoes you can buy. They are designed to race your absolute best and represent the pinnacle of running shoe technology and innovation. They have the highest energy return foams and plates for new levels of performance. Low durability, but maximum speed is the name of the game here.

Rocky & Technical Trails

These shoes are best used for hard, rugged trails such as shale, granite or sandstone where grip on smooth surfaces and underfoot protection are important.

Designed for use in muddy, soggy conditions, these shoes feature very aggressive outsoles that dig deep into soft ground for exceptional traction.
Snowy & Icy Trails

These shoes feature technical outsoles designed to grip snowy and icy trails making them ideal for winter trail running.

Cushioning Level

Cushioning level, or stack height, refers to how much shoe is between your foot and the ground. For this category, we reference the amount of cushioning below the forefoot as the heel height will be equal to or greater than the forefoot height.

Learn more about stack heights and how we measure them.
Barefoot

0-13mm. The Shoe generally does not have a midsole and feels like there is no cushioning. This shoe is all about feeling the ground underfoot.
Minimal

14-18mm. The shoe has a thin midsole that allows for a natural running experience. Racing shoes and minimalist shoes are common here. These shoes offer a feeling of being connected to the road or trail.
Low

19-23mm. The shoe has a slightly cushioned feel and may feature added cushioning technologies. Performance training shoes and some trail shoes are common here. These offer protection during footstrike but prioritize a lightweight, grounded experience.
Medium

24-28mm. These shoes have a stack height that fall near the middle of the spectrum.The shoes in this category are verstaile and great for all types of runs and distances.
High

29-34mm. The shoe has a thick midsole and ample cushioning. These shoes are highly protective and absorb more impact than the body.
Maximal

35mm plus. The shoe has an extremely thick midsole and extra cushioning. The focus is on protection and soft foam underfoot with hardly any ground feel.

Stability Level

Neutral Running Shoes

Neutral shoes support the foot through a normal range of arch collapse and generally do not have a built-in technology to correct movement.
Stability

Stability shoes are a great option for those who overpronate or need added support. These shoes help to limit the inward rolling motion of the ankle while running or walking and assist in guiding the foot straight through the gait cycle.

How We Measure Our Shoe Specs

We measure every shoe in-house to provide accurate and consistent details.
Weight

The weight is based on a Men's size 9 for Men's and Unisex shoes or Women's size 8 for Women's shoes. The weight listed is for a single shoe, including the laces.
Heel Stack

The heel stack refers to how high your heel sits above the ground when wearing shoes. Based on Men's size 9 as the standard.
Forefoot Stack

Forefoot stack refers to how high the ball of the foot sits above the ground when wearing shoes. Based on Men's size 9 as the standard.
Heel-toe Offset

Heel-toe offset (drop) is the difference in height between the heel stack and the forefoot stack. We use the number given to us by the brand.

How We Measure Shoe Fit

All measurements are based on Medium width.
Fit (width) options are Narrow - Snug - Average - Roomy - Wide.
Sizing (length) options are Short - True - Long. Note: fit is relative to the "average" running shoe.

Fit Comes Through and DeliversI'm glad that Running Warehouse (RW) had the extra wide in stock! I recently replaced this exact shoe, which I had been getting locally at a retailer. However, they did not have the extra wide this time. That's where RW totally served my needs. Good traditional feel and I enjoy the 840's supreme heel response. My only complaint is minor, the size marking inside the shoe wears out completely and I couldn't verify if previously had the 2e or 4e. I would recommend this shoe over the Asics Cumulus, which is in the same category, but not built as wide (given the widest available). Moreover, the New Balance just feels better without that too hard feel at the heel. I'm all for the 840!

Stable Neutral ShoeI really want to write a review because I feel like these shoes deserve more attention and credit. To begin with, these shoes bear the model number 840 (takedown model of 940), which New Balance traditionally categorizes as a medium cushion high stability shoe for people with severe overpronation. However, the category for New Balance Fresh Foam 840 v1 really changed upon its design’s departure from the ABZORB midsole and introduction of the Fresh Foam X midsole. This significant shift of the shoe’s category is what I believe to be the source of this shoes’ negative reviews. Upon first impression, these shoes appear identical to the New Balance Fresh Foam More v3, but with a closer examination, there are distinct differences that set them apart. Fresh Foam More v3 is a max cushion shoe with a stack height of 38mm heel and 34mm toe weighing at 10.80 oz. Fresh Foam 840 v1 is a high cushion shoe with a stack height of 35mm heel and 31mm toe weighing at 9.4 oz. Fresh Foam More v3 has a softer cushion in comparison to the firmer cushion of Fresh Foam 840 v1. Furthermore, Fresh Foam 840 v1 has a streamlined fit with a wide toe box and tighter midfoot for a more secure lockdown. Although New Balance does not categorize Fresh Foam 840 v1 as stability shoe, it is inherently very stable. The firmer but still comfortable foam allows the foot to rest on a solid foundation, the wide flare platform along with lateral and medial sidewalls prevent the foot from rolling inward and outward, and the rocker design smoothly guide and transition the foot forward with each step. All these features come together by offering guidance and promoting stability, and unlike traditional methods of stability, it does not feature a medial post. Engineers and designers of running shoe companies are exploring and experimenting with new ways of making a more comfortable stability shoe. It is worth mentioning the New Balance Vongo v5 is another similar shoe that features all these stability methods but with the addition of a gradient medial post for even more stability. With that said, the New Balance Fresh Foam 840 v1 really belongs to the category of a high cushion mild to moderate stability shoe. I recommend these stable neutral shoes for someone who enjoys high cushions in need of above average stability that do not play well with traditional methods of stability that are often more intrusive and cause discomfort and even pain. These shoes can be great for long distance runs, recovery runs, or just walking long distances. I am a running and health enthusiast, and I initially purchased these shoes for my aging father who has flat feet and experience overpronation. The New Balance Fresh Foam 840 v1 offered my father lots of comfort and support and he really enjoys wearing these shoes. I really hope my review can shed more light on these shoes and help more people in finding the right comfort and support for good health.

two steps down from older 840 modelsI've been wearing the older New Balance models for years: 840-3 and 840-4. This new version felt uncomfortable. Not a good match for my feet. The large white N on either side of the shoe is offensive. My previous pair (840-4) has a silver N on either side that blends into the gray material; it makes the shoe more appealing to look at.

More 3 Road ver. 2.0For me, best all around ATV type shoe. Me - 155 body weight, 30-45 miles weekly, trails only - lots of hills. More 3 road was my favorite shoe, not perfect though - went through about 8 pairs. This shoe is same out sole, possibly same midsole, same offset. Upper material same type - but fit is a smidge more snug. Slight re-design in midfoot upper material - same snug fit without anything rubbing at transition from upper to midsole. 6 regular lace eyelets - I lace up to top eyelet and tongue extends laces by about 1/2" +. Laces are are short so I use plastic lace locks for first time - nice product. Tongue is a bit too chubby, but reshaped with more of a tendon relief. Not gusseted, but does stay in place MUCH batter. New Balance, put the More 3 Trail tongue/ gusset sytem into this shoe - at least a 1" to 2" gusset. The heel compartment is redone. More snug, yet perfectly comfy. No hint of elfin heel flare - gone. Just enough padding in heel compartment - comfy on climbs and the compartment disappears when running - very, very flexible heel counter. Brand new out of box, mens 11, D width = 11 oz. More 3 Road brand new, D width out of box = 11.2 oz. This shoe is more snug fitting, but I can't sense where the shoe touches my foot. The shoe climbs, does off camber, descends, micro sliding without actual knobs on super dry dirt. The enemy of this shoe on dirt based trails is encroaching wild/ drying grass. The upper material REALLY is like velcro to dry grass. Might need to use road bike shoe thin aero cover. Well cushioned, more firm/ tuned - not mattress/pillow. Cushioning opens up on downhills. This shoe is quite awesome, absolutely cranks. The More 4 Road was just went to far away from the More 3 Road for me. Not sure why they call it the 840???? Fans of the More 3 Road should check this shoe out.
