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.
