We did. We introduced 100 walkers to their new favorite kind of walking shoe. Their verdict.<\/p>\n

It happened. The world is ready to embrace active walking shoes<\/strong>. We got to see that for ourselves last weekend. We lured a hundred walkers to the Bourgoyen in Ghent with the bait: A nice walking route and a selection of our most comfortable active walking test models<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The question that has been burning on your lips for two paragraphs: what the … are active walking shoes?<\/p>\n

They are the shoes that too few walkes realize they need. This combination<\/strong> of running shoes and <\/strong> traditional hiking boots scores<\/strong>with its cushioning <\/strong>properties, grip<\/strong>, breathability <\/strong>and lightweight<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

No traditional hiking shoe can match the comfort <\/strong>of active walking shoes. Slip your foot in for the first time and you’ll have the same effect as sticking your knife into a new jar of choco. A moment of pleasure.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n

100 walkers took the test<\/h4>\n

One hundred enthusiastic walkers could choose from three test models<\/strong>: the New Balance Hierro, The New Balance Hierro Mid and the New Balance More Trail.

New Balance Hierro<\/h6>\n

This active walking shoe was a hit. Excellent cushioning and comfort were cited by all testers. Its lightness – barely 300g in the case of the men’s model – also made hikers dream of new trips. In nature? Can be perfect. The grip is there.<\/p>\n

“What did you dislike about this shoe?” we also asked. The lack of a water-repellent membrane <\/strong>proved to be a shortcoming. Fortunately, the New Balance Hierro<\/strong> also exists in a GORE-TEX version<\/strong>, such as the ‘Mid’ version does.[\/vc_column_text][nectar_btn size=”large” open_new_tab=”true” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” icon_family=”none” text=”NEW BALANCE HIERRO” url=”https:\/\/shop.runnerslab.be\/nl\/merken\/newbalance?features=category%7Cactive+mid+walking%2Cfit+walking-%2Ctrail+walking-&utm_source=website_news&utm_medium=website&utm_campaign=AW_new_balance”][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”951″ image_size=”regular” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”60px” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”top” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”952″ image_size=”regular” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n

New Balance Hierro Mid<\/h6>\n

This ‘Mid’ version has the added bonus of encasing the ankle for extra support<\/strong>. Although it is not a must for hikes on flat to rolling and easily walkable terrain, the average hiker likes to reach for this semi-high model<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Despite the extra firmness, the New Balance Hierro Mid<\/strong> was still considered very comfortable. Courtesy of its lightness, cushioning and fit. “They fit great! It was nice walking, had no pain and they look nice too,” said a brand new New Balance Hierro Mid fan.[\/vc_column_text][nectar_btn size=”large” open_new_tab=”true” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” icon_family=”none” text=”NEW BALANCE HIERRO MID” url=”https:\/\/shop.runnerslab.be\/nl\/merken\/newbalance?features=category%7Cactive+mid+walking%2Cfit+walking-%2Ctrail+walking-&utm_source=website_news&utm_medium=website&utm_campaign=AW_new_balancees=category%7Cactive+mid+walking%2Cfit+walking-%2Ctrail+walking-&utm_source=website_news&utm_medium=website&utm_campaign=AW_new_balance”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”60px” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”top” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n

New Balance More Trail<\/h6>\n

The most cushioned shoe<\/strong> of the three models. The soft sole<\/strong> provides pleasant shock absorption <\/strong>and a nice fit<\/strong>. The Vibram\u00ae wear outsole<\/strong>, made in part from recycled materials, ensures superior traction on any surface. “Very good grip. I should have tested this type of walking shoe much earlier,” it echoed.<\/p>\n

On an easy course like the Bourgoyen, the Toe Protect technology<\/strong> could not prove its added value. But this technology, present in all three models, provides additional protection from rocks, roots and debris.[\/vc_column_text][nectar_btn size=”large” open_new_tab=”true” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” icon_family=”none” text=”NEW BALANCE MORE TRAIL” url=”https:\/\/shop.runnerslab.be\/nl\/merken\/newbalance?features=category%7Cactive+mid+walking%2Cfit+walking-%2Ctrail+walking-&utm_source=website_news&utm_medium=website&utm_campaign=AW_new_balance”][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”953″ image_size=”regular” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n
