Whether you have a history of plantar fasciitis

Whether you have a history of plantar fasciitis or you need comfortable walking shoes with arch support, go with New Balance 1165 Fresh Foam.

At 510 grams per pair, these are among the lightest sneakers in the market, so they won’t slow you down even if the situation demands that you walk for long hours.

New Balance uses a synthetic mesh for the upper, which results in a breathable build to keep your feet at room temperature. With a standard padding in the collar and excellent cushioning in the tongue, your insteps rest comfortably without touching the walls of the shoes.

The lugged rubber outsole not only provides better traction but also helps to enhance motion control so you can hit the ground running in style. If these were water-resistant, you’d probably use them to walk on ice. That’s because they provide a solid grip even on wet pavements.

Pros
