Running, walking or training? Save 20% on New Balance sneakers for all types of activities
As someone who loves my walking pad and wears my smart watch everywhere to track my activity, New Balance shoes are perfect for my active lifestyle. The FuelCell Walker Elite Sneakers are my favorite comfy walking shoes for my daily 15,000 steps, but they also offer running shoes for my husband and cleats for my son. Whatever your lifestyle needs, New Balance has a category for you. And right now, you can save 20% off during the New Balance spring sale when you use the promo code SAVE20 at checkout.
One of the things I love about the New Balance walking shoe is that it doesn't have an air bubble. Whether it's using my walking pad while I work from home or chasing my four-year-old around at T-ball practice, I am rough on my shoes. The FuelCell Walker Elite are durable with no air bubble that can pop and squeak with every step. And best of all, they're just one of many durable New Balance styles you can shop through the retailers.

What kind of New Balance shoe should I buy—walking, running or training?
New Balance offers a wide variety of shoes in every category, including walking, running, training and lifestyle. The brand suggests that you buy the one for your specific activity. But, New Balance shoes are multi-purpose and are often designed with the average person in mind. This means that a training shoe can get you through the day, or your running shoe will also provide comfort throughout your work day. New Balance still suggests that if you're planning to run a 10k, you should choose running shoes and wear them separately from training shoes on your heavy lifting days in the gym.
Here's a look at the benefits the top types of New Balance shoes offer:
Benefits of Running Shoes
- Generally have more cushioning in the heel at the point of impact, plus support technology that is specific to a running stride.
- Made with more mesh to help keep feet cool during runs.
Benefits of Walking Shoes
- Designed with specific body mechanics and strike path of walking in mind.
- Constructed to be more flexible through the ball of the foot to allow for a greater range of motion through the roll of the forefoot.
- Have greater arch support to protect where the impact is heaviest on the foot.
Benefits of Training Shoes
- Provide additional support for both forward and lateral movements.
- Designed for a variety of cross-training workouts, including HIIT, strength training, step aerobics, boot camps and short treadmill jogs.
- While not intended for use in long races (i.e., half marathons and marathons), New Balance training shoes can be used in shorter runs (i.e., mile races and treadmill warm-ups).
