Our verdict

120 miles in, and I've got nothing but praises for the Funktioner New balance Løbe Skoe Fresh Foam More Trail V1's bouncy and light foam. It's a speed trainer that's pleasant to the feet with its smooth-rolling smb and breathable upper. BUT, my biggest issue with it is the lack of durability. The outsole wears down super fast!

Funktioner New balance Løbe Skoe Fresh Foam More Trail V1 is a great shoe. And for many, it might be the ideal go-to for almost every run.

But for me, I can’t get attached to something that is only going to leave me on the curb just when we are getting to know one another. Due to the wear, and even in light of the great features everywhere else, I am putting them at a 65 out of 100.

Overview

I settled on one that seemed to fit my sweet spot - the Funktioner New balance Løbe Skoe Fresh Foam More Trail V1. I am currently on my second pair after what I hoped was an anomaly in the first - turns out a feature, not a bug.

The Tempo has the build of a trainer but the weight of a lightweight or even a racer Белые женские кеды New Balance.

There is a sense of plush around the heel and ankles though the upper is plenty thin enough to allow for heat transfer. It is not so light that the sense of support is overlooked, they hit the sweet spot of a little of both.

New Balance Women's 997H in Brown Red Suede Mesh Kinvara’s for the workhorse among my collection. It was a very similar feel and fit. There was no noticeable need for break-in though after the first couple of miles some of the stiffness did subside.

The mid-range stack height will be a pleasant bonus for those landing on the heels but for those working on the forefoot, a heel drag will occur now and then if you are accustomed to slightly branco heights. This was minimal and I adjusted quickly.

There is no noticeable forward propelling as some strive for as the transition is just smooth and steady. You actually have to focus intently to notice that the shoes exist!

I fell in love with this shoe. I have gone through so many bad experiences compared to great ones. This was among my first New Balance products and the first from the Fresh Foam line-up.

These just fit and performed with nothing calling special attention one way or the other. Speed /tempo / long runs -  all found favor with no seeming issues - until… until . . . .

Wear

After a handful of runs, I gave a closer inspection of the shoe to try to understand the push of the foam and get a better sense of the build (again my first NB).

After 100 or so miles the uppers show no breakdown whatsoever. I had not been through much dirt or rain so they looked practically new. When flipping the over I was shocked at the wear.

These pictured are at 131 miles. I typically get 300-350 before replacing and have honestly Antrenament replaced shoes because of wearing through.

These won’t make it close to that. I have read minimal comments on the wear but honestly don’t know what I could be doing to cause this high wear down. I am hoping it is just me somehow and that everyone else has better experiences.
