Product Information

If there isn’t enough room for the foot to breathe then it will cause friction against the inside of the shoe and eventually lead to blisters. In addition, the forefoot features the Toe Protect system to secure and protect the toe area from rocks and gravel.

GORE-TEX® waterproof fabric protects feet from wind, rain and water without sacrificing breathability. The rubber is able to withstand damage from uneven terrain to give you added confidence when out running. Constructed with waterproof GORE-TEX® Invisible Fit technology, the New Balance Fresh Foam Arishi Trail women's running shoes combat moisture to help keep you dry in the rain or mud.GORE-TEX Waterproof Fabric - Protects feet from wind, rain and water without sacrificing breathability. In this case, you likely get what you pay for, although we find them to be a surprisingly serviceable shoe on mellow terrain and for crossover purposes. We feel that this shoe fits true to size, and while it is average to slightly narrow in the forefoot, is wider through the arch and heel.

However, we found it hard to get a lock down fit, one of the key elements of stability, and so most often ran on mellow single track, like the Metolius-Wendigo Trail near Sisters, OR. Sometimes it's hard to stay dry without developing that distracting clammy feeling, but GORE-TEX keeps water on the outside while letting perspiration escape from the inside; keeping sweat to a minimum and you, cool and comfy.This is the New Balance Fresh Foam Arishi v4 GTX, a model of great popular draft prepared, now, to offer maximum performance to both beginners and more experienced runners even in the most demanding situations. The AT TREAD outsole offers optimal traction in any environment, while the reinforced tip can help protect your toes from damage upon impact with roots or rocks. Starting with the sockliner, we can say that the new Arishi Trail is equipped with New Balance's dual AT Tread design, which favors a versatile tread for maximum traction on both trail and road. A lot has happened in recent years and today's Gore-Tex membranes are, contrary to popular belief, not only suitable for winter shoes. The lack of underfoot protection, low profile tread design, and sensitive ride, mean this is a shoe uniquely suited for crossover use, that is, seeing infrequent use on trails, or at least on trails that are of the more urban variety.

Equipped with waterproof GORE-TEX® Invisible Fit technology, the Fresh Foam Arishi Trail Goretex women’s running shoe is built to withstand your trail running adventures. The lugs grip into the terrain to ensure maximum traction, keeping you feeling stable and confident at all times.

We have no complaints about the comfort as it relates to rubbing or pinch points on the inside of the upper, but found it to be a fairly sloppy shoe overall, without the structure in the upper to securely grip the foot.
