Review on 👟 Futuristic Comfort and Performance: Introducing New Balance Men's Fresh Foam Beacon V3 Running Shoe by Alonzo Wilkins

I've ridden a few hundred miles in the Beacon V2 and it's the best shoe I've ever owned. Lightweight, soft as a cloud, but strong enough to cover some distance without excessive leg fatigue and heel lock. For me, the Beacon V2 is the perfect running shoe. At the same time, Beacon V3 is NOTHING like V2. The heel cup is the main problem with these shoes. It's so flat that no matter how tight I lace my shoes, my heel slides up with every step, causing severe pain in my Achilles tendon and the back of my heel. They also changed the outsole from Fresh Foam to something like Fresh Foam X. I guess the X must mean very hard because now the shoe is walking barefoot on concrete. It's absolutely awful. Unless you hate yourself and don't want to get hurt, I would avoid this version of The Lighthouse. All around absolutely terrible!
