New Balance 890v4 Running Shoes
Working at an athletic wear and shoe-store during most of my 20s was life altering. Previously I didn’t put much thought into what went on my feet but suddenly I found myself judging people by their shoes. It was the very first thing I noticed – I found myself quickly taking in not only the brand but the cleanliness and newness of the shoe, if the shoes actually fit, if the wearer was pronating or supinating. I hate to say it but I would often turn down men based on the condition of their shoes. Seriously.
My shoe collection grew from one pair to well over 30 and I can honestly say that it is one spending habit I have never even thought about curbing. Thankfully my husband is just about as bad as me which makes us a dangerous pair when we are near shoe stores.
I am really passionate about wearing not only trendy and “cool” looking shoes, but that they are high quality, comfortable and above all provides proper support.
One of the things I learned working at that shoe store was how much people really loved New Balance. We had people coming in several times a day asking specifically for New Balance and these people ranged from runners to postal workers to the much less active.
It’s been awhile since I last got a look at the latest technology in running shoes so I was pretty excited to be sent a pair of New Balance 890v4 Running Shoes to try out.
What immediately stood out for me was how trendy the New Balance 890V4s looked. I love the bright colours, they definitely fit in well with my shoe collection.
Picking them up I was struck by just how lightweight they are. These are seriously one of the lightest shoes I have ever tried on and yet they are packed with a ton of features that come together to make a great running shoe.
The main features that make the 890v4 so amazing is the responsive REVlite cushioning that acts to respond to every step, the FantomFit no-sew overlay upper makes use of panel-like construction which ensures not only a sleek look but also great arch support. The blown rubber outsole of the women’s 890v4and ABZORB® crash pad provides even more cushioning and acts to lessen the shock to your body with every foot strike. This results in a comfortable and light ride.
Features:
- 8 mm drop: due to variances created during the development and manufacturing processes, all references to 8 mm drop are approximate
- ABZORB® crash pad cradles the heel area medially and laterally for additional stability
- Blown rubber outsole
- No-sew material application
- REVlite midsole foam
- Unique podular structure maintains notion of full ground contact geometries, preserving the purity of the originally coveted 890 ride
Buy it:
The New Balance 890v4’s are available to purchase directly from New Balance online and are available in standard width as well as narrow and wide so everyone can get a great running shoe that fits great.

Those are some sharp looking kicks. I have always loved New Balance sneakers. They are very comfy!
The older I get, the more I notice little pains and aches in my feet so I try to take better care of them now. Honestly though, I HATE buying shoes. I do love to buy purses though, so there’s that. 😉 New Balance is usually the one brand of shoe I buy for myself and for my little boy. I love how lightweight they are and they’re great for walking.
They are a really great brand, especially for people with fat feet like me.. I also like how light they are.. great for exercising.
They look like a super cute pair of running shoes! I always switch between Nike and New Balance, as they are my favorite brands for running shoes and seem to offer me the best support and value.
Love these shoes and love the color.
I love New Balance…can’t wait to check out these running shoes!
I’ve always liked the New Balance shoes, they always appear very comfortable. These are very colorful and hip, enjoy them!
I love New Balance shoes and I love everything about the style and colour of this shoe!
Those runners look really good. I’ll have to recommend them to my mother as she’s been looking for a new pair with some comfort.
I actually prefer New Balance to Adidas. Always a good fit and a great make! Thanks for recommending
Such a great brand I love my runners from them. My husband was a manager of a Nb here and we got some great deals. I love all their things!
I love the colors on those shoes. I have been thinking about getting a new, bright pair of good tennies to work out in. I really need to get back in an exercise routine.
I am in such need of a good pair of running shoes. These are not only beautiful but functional as well.
These shoes would be an awesome gift for my daughter. She needs a good pair of shoes for running and lifting.
New balance make some of the best running shoes.
Do they have it for men’s? I’m hoping we can have it for couple shoes.
Very vibrant shoes and they look great to bring to the gym, I have been looking for a new pair of shoes for the gym!
New Balance are the only sneakers I’ve worn in some time now. They are so comfortable and so cute (love your colors and will have to check this pair out). Thanks for sharing.
I am not a runner, but do love New Balance shoes. I usually buy a walking or cross trainer shoe.
I just love that vibrant purple color! That is awesome. They look really comfortable too.
New Balance is actually my favorite brand of running shoe. I have stuck with them for years!
Those are some sharp looking shoes. I have nothing against pink, but I’m tired of finding so many girly looking (pink) shoes, lol
Those shoes are so fun. I love the wild colors and print. I have worn New Balance shoes in the past and find they are one of the better fitting shoes.
I never considered New Balance shoes until I ran in Disney and bought a pair. They are by far the best make I’ve ever run in, but they aren’t popular in the UK for some reason.
My family has been buying new balance for years. They are comfortable and wears well.
Great review, I need a new pair of running shoes. I am running on the beach and my nikes are shot. I use to run in new balance in high school.
I love New Balance’s; they are very comfortable on my feet regardless if I’m walking or running. I love anything in purple as well.
Comfortable shoes are a must, especially when one works on their feet like my wife and I do. I have never had New Balance but will have to check them out. Thanks for the post.
I never really bought anything from new Balance before – but I like this – even the color looks wonderful to me!
I just got some brand new shoes for christmas and I love them. I have had some New Balance shoes before and they are great shoes.
I love the colors and design of that shoe. I have always been a fan of New Balance … I have an oddly shaped foot, and they seem to be the brand that fits me best.
My mom would totally love these shoes for working!
New Balance shoes are one of the two brands I buy for running! They are amazing!
I’ve always love new balance shoes. They’re great!
