RYAN: Alright, so I don’t suppose Lindsay or Meg mentioned something unsuitable when discussing what they like in regards to the Recent Foam Balos, however I’m undecided that they went far sufficient when describing it, both. This shoe is a good-lookin’, front-to-back rockin’, comfortably fittin’ cruiser. Each the boys’s and girls’s colorways have the identical white base with blue and orange particulars, however I believe I desire the marginally darker shades on the model I obtained. It simply feels a little bit bit extra lived-in and rustic.
New Steadiness’s peba-based model of Recent Foam feels type of lived-in, too — however in a great way. It’s nearly hilariously comfortable, to the purpose the place you wish to lace up and simply type of squish round for a second or two. I believe it truly feels nearly equivalent to a broken-in model of the 1080v13, which is nice information for me since I liked that shoe. I’m not fully certain that I believe a foam this comfortable will stand the check of time, however for now, it feels nice.
Shifting down, I believe the selective strategy to outsole rubber placement might be a great one. New Steadiness put the heaviest rubber protection on the toe and alongside the lateral heel, with a skinny layer of EVA to guard the remaining, and it ought to final for as many miles as you may rely up. Actually, the one manner you’re going to wreck the outsole is for those who consistently stomp rocks with the center of your heel, which sounds terrible.
