New Balance Fresh Foam Vongo

Having moderate pronation and running over 30-40 miles a week, I've owned these pairs for the past 3 years. Extremely durable and the low heel-toe drop ratio allows me to run comfortably on my midfoot or forefoot. Have not been injured with these and I find them very light for a support shoe.

Bought a pair of Vongos at a discount to try them out. Found a great shoe with just the right amount of support for my moderate pronation and a fantastic amount of cushioning. Some wear noted on the soles after about 100 miles, but holding up well beyond that. Will try an updated version when it's time to replace these beauties.

Toe box is large.

Generally can get them for 65 dollars

Nice amount of padding for distance/long runs, but still responsive enough for tempos

Long life (800+ miles before you start feeling the road)

Slight arch support is there, but not obtrusive

Downside is longer than normal to break-in

The Vongo is a great shoe for people in need of a stability shoe, but who also prefer a low drop shoe. Most stability/overpronation shoes have a 10mm+ drop, very few go below 8mm. The vongo is a 4mm drop which makes midfoot striking much easier to achieve. The shoes hold up relatively well, around 400 miles. I've had 4 pairs over the last 2 years. I think they look really nice too, I have no problem walking to class with them on without feeling silly. Really good shoe.

this shoe has great balance between the sole and the upper making it feel light without sacrificing any fresh foam cushioning. Great shoe to roll in for a fast smooth ride

Got them on running warehouse on sale. Probably wouldn't have bought them at full price, but I'm very happy with them. I loved my Zante's; I had two pairs of those that I used for workout days and rotated in more supportive shoes for easy mileage. But I started developing plantar fasciitis and I decided I needed something more supportive than the Zante's, so I bought these.

I have since graduated and stopped training seriously, so these are currently the only shoes in the rotation, but they're working fine for what I need.

I was looking for a lightweight shoe that still had a significant amount of cushioning. I’m not sure about the amount of support, but it fits really well and feels good underfoot. I often have issues with shoes rubbing my heel, but don’t have any of that with this one. I recommend it for someone who doesn’t needed much support and wants a light shoe with a normal amount of cushioning. Go up a half size from what you measure!
