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.
