The 870, New Balance’s trail trainer/racer, received some of the highest ratings of any shoe in this review. The 870 is very light, low in profile for quickness and maneuverability, and made our testers feel like they were running on smooth surfaces, even when the trails were turbulent. Although the shoe feels simple, there is a lot going on under the hood: heel and forefoot cushioning inserts, high-traction lug pattern and a serious support system for a secure ride. Still, some of the testers found the 870 a bit Spartan in the cushioning, structure and motion control departments, especially for those runners with special needs in those areas. Some of the testers also found the shoe’s volume high, arches low and heel cup a bit shallow but the lacing system was very secure and the unique sausage-link shoelaces were a real hit because they stayed tied without double knotting.
