Guide Review - New Balance 767AW Shoe
When the weather turns bad or you want to go off the sidewalk and onto the trails, this all-weather walking or running shoe can give your feet some extra protection. It is water resistant, which I found meant that I did have some dampness leaking through in a 45 minute walk in a downpour. It is well cushioned. I found it flexible enough for walking at a moderate pace. Personally, I found myself wishing for a lighter weight and less stable shoe for distance walking. It has reflective details for night walking and running. New Balance produces the 767 in narrow, normal, and wide (A, B, D) to fit a variety of feet.
