Lightweight but not wimpy the New Balance Women's WR873 Trail Running Shoe is ideal for training on off-road surfaces. Rock Stop™ and Toe Protect™ technology combine to put your foot at ease when the route feels more like an obstacle course than a path. When running over slabs or hopping boulders the New Balance WR873 offers a blend of traction and durability that aids your confidence even when barreling along a route for the first time. Thanks to the special Ndurance® rubber compound this outsole consists of a premium blend of solid and sticky characteristics. In addition to the outsole other components contribute to the New Balance WR873 Trail Running Shoe's smooth ride. The Stability Web® arch support provides rigidity to prevent midfoot flex and a super light yet effective Activa® Lite midsole teams up with heel and forefoot Abzorb® pads to disperse impact where it's most needed.
