I run better with heel-to-toe support, which often means my running shoes and cross trainers are clunky. But not these. New Balance’s REVlite 890 (217 grams) has a sturdy sole that follows my natural step. And it’s got a bit of bounce that should keep me motivated to run a bit longer. The fabric is incredibly breathable. I like the look of the soft grey and minty green synthetic material, instead of that white mesh that gets filthy. I would recommend this shoe for women who run, jog and take brisk walks. And seriously, though, how cute are these?!
