NB 890 V4 – a fast lightweight

The New Balance 890 is a neutral running shoe with good cushioning in the heel and midfoot. The sole (and landing) is a bit softer than many other running shoes, but not so much that it feels strange or uncomfortable. It feels like you’re running on clouds – it gives you a quick launch.

Cool facts about the shoe

What’s new in V3?

Actually not much. It is one of the updates I have seen with the least change. For better or worse. There is no doubt that the New Balance 890 version 2 was early and therefore there was perhaps no need for the major changes for the 3rd version. Conversely, the New Balance 890 should be constantly improved. I am quite satisfied – but it could be better.

Personal experiences with NB 890 lightweight running shoes

I have run in all versions of the New Balance 890. Let me briefly outline why I think the shoe is great:

1. The weight is low without you having to worry about lack of shock absorption. The shoe is not quite as light as Asics Racer for example. There is still a layer of shock absorption. This means that you can use the shoe for slightly longer trips as well. If you run 40 km weekly, you can easily use the shoe for 15-20 km.
2. The design. I know that functionality is most important. That being said, I must confess that I have a weakness for the look of the shoe.
3. The sole. I love the sole. It gives a quick and easy take-off.

Also a few points of criticism

Not everything is rosy. For example, I think the heel is a bit wide. I prefer the heel to be ultra-tight. This makes it easier to maneuver the running shoe, among many other things.

Runnersworld is known for being the world’s largest running site. They have a huge database of running shoes. They don’t write much about each shoe, but if you want to have some facts in place, this is the place to go. Link to stats about New Balance 890 are here.

One of the statements from Runnersworld is (translated into Danish):

I was planning to run the NYC Marathon in the New Balance 890. I really liked it for that purpose. I wouldn’t run shorter distances in the shoe than a half marathon, but it’s a perfect training shoe and good for the marathon distance, I think – David Alm.

We must assume that dear David is an experienced runner. If you don’t run faster than 20 min / 5 km, then you can easily use the shoe for shorter distances than the half marathon, as he mentions.
