Review on New Balance Womens Beacon Running Sports & Fitness by Nico Ramdeen

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The bottom wears out very quickly

I love the fit and weight of this shoe and have worn it in different versions for several years. However, unlike previous versions or models, this shoe (New Balance Fresh Foam Beacon v3) wears out extremely quickly. I run a lot, but I've never had a shoe that wears out on the sole so quickly. Perhaps the soles are designed to be light and airy. This happened with the last two pairs of this version. Other Fresh Foam models could be better, as were previous versions of this shoe, but I don't feel like testing this at the moment. For the price I will have to go for more durable shoes in the future, even if they are as heavy as the Ryka. It would be interesting to know if these v3 beacons were intentionally altered or just broken. For reference, they are 9M. I'm 5'7" and 140 lbs.
