New Balance Shoes Men's MT800 Trail Running Shoe New Balance Shoes Men's MT800 Trail Running Shoe

Exceptional traction and lightweight performance for the speed oriented backcountry runner.

A nimble performer for technical terrain the New Balance Men's MT800 Trail Running Shoe is light durable and coddles the foot with excellent cushioning and compression properties. The synthetic and mesh upper is both durable and highly breathable an ideal combination when faced with a thousand feet of vertical gain with a hot sun overhead. Underfoot the New Balance Men's MT800 Trail Running Shoe is not quite as protective as some other models (for example the MR873). But that means it's probably a couple ounces lighter a trade-off that makes good sense for many endurance athletes whether competitive or recreational. The New Balance MT800 does however offer exceptional cushioning with Abzorb® pads in the heel and forefoot to make sure these high impact zones don't suffer as the miles stack up. The outsole is comprised of two specially formulated compounds N Grip™ anti-slip technology rubber and Ndurance® rubber in high wear areas.

Light trail racing shoe... Image: 4 Stars

This shoe is very light for a trail running shoe. Great traction control. I would not recommend using on the road as these are obviously made for the trails. Only issue is racing this shoe without socks tends to create blisters but I can deal with that at the finish line when I'm waiting on the others!


Perfect fit for running Image: 5 Stars

I bought this shoe to replace my old running shoes which had seen there better day. I was very happy upon putting the New Balance MT800 to the test for the first time. Now the fit only seems to improve over time as if the fit is personalized. I use them extensively for trail and road running and occasionally as casual wear. Altrec has always been a great store to shop for all of my needs because of their great return policy and excellent customer service.


Light but durable Image: 5 Stars

This shoe was surprisingly light but's held up to different terrain types. Excellent purchase. Also the shoe for me ran a FULL size smaller. Instead of 13's I had to pick up a 14 which fits great. Others have said they run a half size small but I had no choice because 13.5 doesn't exist. So remember that.


Great for running or walking Image: 5 Stars

I just finished 14 miles on a concrete trail (about 75% run 25% walk). My feet and knees have no complaints! It seems like all the shoemakers have sacrificed comfort for durability. That is not the case with the MT800. I will buy them again.


Great Trail-Runner Image: 5 Stars

All of the rating and reviews are spot on. These shoes are great for the trail. Light great support durable. They are not as wide as the typical New Balances so be ready for a snugger fit from a New Balance. I will buy the 800 again.
