Our take on the New Balance Women Classics WL696STG Traditionnels Sneakers

The New Balance 696 is a low-profile retro running sneaker brought back from the 1970s catalog. It pairs a suede and mesh upper with a slim EVA foam midsole, so it looks like a vintage trainer and wears light on foot. It suits people who want a casual everyday sneaker with a heritage look rather than a modern cushioned runner. Against rivals like the Nike Cortez or Adidas Gazelle, it offers similar retro styling with New Balance's narrower, more tapered fit.

Questions and answers

Is the New Balance 696 good for everyday wear?
Yes, for casual walking and short errands. The EVA midsole is light but thin, so it is not built for long days on your feet.
