New Balance Fresh Foam X Vongo v6

The Vongo v6 is New Balance's plush stability trainer, pairing a generous Fresh Foam X midsole with a very wide base and raised medial sidewalls instead of a hard post. Guidance comes from geometry, so it supports overpronators without feeling intrusive. A good choice for runners who want real support with modern, soft cushioning.
