Testing a pair of New Balance 800

After being given the chance to try any pair of trail shoes from New Balance, Patty Sue Plummer picked up the woman’s 800s model. The WT800 are running shoes aimed at the trail market, with a cool look (I love the sole design) and prized around $80. They were named Editor’s Choice for 2007 by Runner’s World magazine as “recommended for biomechanically efficient runners who want a fast-paced training or racing shoe”. She put the shoes under several test environments, including icy trails, a rocky desert race and a full ultra competition with satisfactory results in all terrains. Read her review on Run with me.
