Built for those who take their training seriously the New Balance Men's MR873 Trail Running Shoe is designed to handle the rigors of the daily off-road run. To offset the wear and tear of running consecutive days an Activa® Lite midsole with Abzorb® heel and forefoot pads offer exceptional cushioning. Likewise Toe Protect™ and Rock Stop™ technology safeguard the foot from terrain hazards that seem trivial once the trail runner laces up the New Balance MR873. Lightning Dry® upper fabrication quickly transfers moisture away from the foot and a gusseted tongue prevents dust and debris from entering the shoe. Sure-footed ground contact is also an attribute of the New Balance MR873 Trail Running Shoe for men. The specially formulated Ndurance® outsole is both durable and sticky for long lasting grip on smooth slabs sloppy creek beds and gravel-covered logging roads.
