Hello, the bottom of my shoes got dirty after I ran in them outside. Do you think these shoes should be replaced?
I have only ran in them three times. They feel okay as I've only put 34 miles on them but the white portion of my outsole grip is no longer that white.
Is this some sort of defect in the shoe?
Thank you for your help!!
I actually think I enjoy running in the New Balance Balos more than the Superblasts and the Evo SLs.
The foam is soooo soft and bouncy. Feels like the OG Invincibles from Nike. It's just a pleasure to eat up the miles in. It's also very light. I'd say the biggest thing is that my legs still feel great after a run. Took it for 10 miles today and loved every step. I may have to buy another pair. It's my first pair of shoes with exposed foam as grip and I'm a huge fan. Very soft landing.
I see the Balos v1s on sale but the only ones left are in this color way 🤮. I guess beggars can't be choosers but damn... I'd be saving about $25 total. Money is not an issue I just feel bad spending more when I can save.
Update: I went with the cheaper color way. Total $33 cheaper. 💪
Initial impressions: These fit TTS for me. First run was fun but not crazy bouncy like in the Evo SLs I recently purchased. May need a break in period. Still, they are so light for the amount of foam under foot. It was crazy hot on my first so didn't run long. Looking forward to testing them out again.
