Fit: Most users find the New Balance 1000fits true to size, offering a secure midfoot and an accommodating toe box.

Midsole Technology: Features a chunky, off-white ABZORB midsole that provides lightweight cushioning and shock absorption.

Support: Includes a Stability Web midfoot shank for essential arch support and a segmented rubber outsole for flexibility and traction.
