New Balance Men's Dynasoft Nitrel V4 Trail Running Shoe

Product Information

NB Response 2.0 Performance Insert - Provides the runner with a seamless and comfortable running experience. The shoe is a standard width, but it is worth knowing that there is a wider version of the Speedgoat 4 also available. In terms of length, I have found that Hoka generally fit smaller than usual. In most brands I wear a size UK 10, but I wear UK 10.5 in these. Nitrel V4 from New Balance is designed for on - and off-road terrain.It features plenty of cushioning and a great grip. Nitrel V4 provides all the options for you to decide to go for a run on asphalt or on trail. New Balance Nitrel V4 Specifications It's a wrap! And it feels good on the foot. I especially enjoyed the height of the upper surrounding the ankle which offered great support on the trails and reduced the potential for rolling ankles where the terrain got loose.

REVlite Midsole - Aims to deliver a lightweight ride without minimising construction or sacrificing underfoot cushioning or stability.Featuring leading trail technology and a sleek modern appearance, the FuelCore NITREL offers a winning combination of speed, traction, and style. The Nitrel v4 has grown into a nice crossover shoe where it fits well wearing it for casual use. However, don’t let its subtle aesthetics fool you. The off-road tread is enough to take off the tarmac and will get the job done on the trails. Who should buy the Nitrel v4 Since there is no tongue, tightening the laces bunches up the fabric in between the lacing eyelets were the tongue should be. This caused initial discomfort as the crinkled fabric poked and pressed into the top of my foot. After manually manipulating the upper to relieve this discomfort, I set out on my first run in the shoes and was pleased to discover how light yet responsive they were. As I tightened the laces for my first run in the Fuelcore Coast 4, I noticed that the tongue was integrated into the knit upper with eyelets for the laces stitched onto the outside of the upper.

I tested on a variety of run distances from 5k to 25k with cushioning remaining the same under the foot but best used on shorter 5K runs. I would definitely switch out the insole to one with more arch support or simply use your orthotic as the one provided in this shoe is completely flat and does not offer any stability to the foot itself. This midsole feel works well in off-road situations where a bit more stability aids in foot control on uneven terrain. On the tarmac, however, the Dynasoft foam was not forgiving and was especially noticeable while testing on concrete floors over multiple hours. If one limits his or her use to a few hours per outing with this shoe it will wear properly. The adidas TERREX Speed Pro SG is the most breathable trail running shoe on the market and the runner up in the category for best lightweight trail racing shoe on soft and muddy ground. Runners should exercise caution on wet surfaces when wearing the Fuelcore Coast 4. New Balance FuelCore Coast v4 Upper Info The innovative mesh upper provides plenty of ventilation. The engineered mesh construction promotes ventilation for increased breathability while remaining durable enough to withstand daily wear on any surface thanks to the extra forefoot reinforcement among other features. MidsoleThe Fuelcore Coast 4 runs a half to full size big, so I definitely recommend trying these shoes on before purchasing. In summary, this shoe is fantastic value at this price point. I would happily recommend it not only to novice trail/fell runners, but also to those with more experience who are looking for an affordable winter training shoe.

The Fuelcore Coast 4 upper is flexible, breathable, and minimizes the use of seams to keep the shoe lightweight. The upper is comprised of a pliable knit material on the outside and a smooth liner on the inside. In summary, if you're looking for a trail shoe with all the benefits of a Flight VECTIV trail shoe, but with added protection and a fully waterproof weather guard, then this model is the perfect choice.

Women’s trail running shoes

With the firm ride described previously, I did not find this shoe to break in and get any softer than its first day running. Don't get bogged down, however, because a firmer shoe like this is not always a negative point. For starters, the upper material is more protective than breathable with added protective welds along with the high wear areas (i.e., lateral forefoot, toe box, eyelets) which is a big advantage for off-road use. Blown-rubber is strategically concentrated in an arch configuration along the toe and heel to prevent accelerated wear in these locations. However, the limited use of blown-rubber leaves the foam exposed under the forefoot.
