Is this shoe good for running?

No. It is a lifestyle sneaker built for casual wear and walking, not for running or gym training. Pick a dedicated running model if you need cushioning and support for mileage.

How does it fit compared with other New Balance sneakers?

New Balance lifestyle shoes generally fit true to size for most people, with a slightly roomier toe box than many rivals. If you are between sizes or have narrow feet, try your usual size first.

Can I wear it in rain or snow?

It is best kept for dry conditions. The suede panels can absorb water and mark, and the mesh upper is not waterproof.

What is the difference between this and New Balance running shoes?

This is a casual silhouette with a comfort midsole and suede-and-mesh upper. Running models use lighter engineered mesh and firmer, more responsive foam for sport.
