New BalanceRunning sneakers are without a doubt the most popular type of shoe on the market.
While many of the best options cater to performance and current style trends, they often sacrifice affordability and added versatility.
With nearly every running sneaker priced well over $100 — and quite a few nearing $200 — finding a pair that meets all your expectations on a modest budget might seem difficult.
On top of high retail prices, the industry's shift to producing all knit or mesh sneakers makes it hard to find a pair of runners that can withstand the rain or even cold weather. You can easily end up with some pretty expensive sneakers that you can't wear year-round.
If you asked for running sneakers that were lightweight, but durable, high-tech, but affordable, and stylish, but functional, you'd have come up empty-handed — until now.
The New Balance Cypher Run is the culmination of what you've been looking for in a running sneaker. Even as a mid-top sneaker they weigh in at 7.4 ounces, they look stylish when you're not running, and best of all, they're only $89.99.
I'm already a huge fan of New Balance's lifestyle silhouette, the 247, so when they offered to send over the all-new Cypher Runs, I was happy to give them a try.
After just a couple of wears, I came to the conclusion that they're the perfect blend of sport, style, function, and affordability.
What I like best about the sneakers is their mid-top bootie construction, which means their tongue, ankle collar, and heel are all one piece, making them fit like socks. They're not bulky or encumbering and the drawstring lacing system makes them very easy to put on and take off. While most running sneakers are restricted to being low-top to achieve lightweight comfort, the Cypher Run does it as a mid. With fall here, the higher cut will definitely prove to be a bonus as temperatures drop.
Like other running sneakers, the Cypher Run uses an engineered mesh upper. What separates it from the pack is its incorporation of a rubberized ribbed overlay on the toe. The system adds durability, protects your feet from the elements, and add a unique style.
I'm by no means a long distance runner, but I did do a lot of walking in my Cypher Runs and they're extremely comfortable. You'll be able to wear these shoes all day without having to worry about your feet getting fatigued. The sneakers use molded foam pods in the heels, foam midsoles, and ripple design outsoles for superior traction.
If you're looking for new running sneakers that can meet all of your demands and fit within a strict budget, the New Balance Cypher Run is hands-down the best choice.
