Our Take 

Inspired by the success of the 1080, the Fresh Foam Vongo V6 is an evolution in stability, pairing soft cushioning with a stable ride to correct moderate overpronation or simply to provide more stability for those long outings.   

The trend of using less medial posting in favor of inherent stability isn’t entirely new and something we very much like because the shoe becomes more suitable for a wider variety of foot types.   This year New Balance has added an EVA Film through the midsole of the Vongo to create this structure, allowing for more cushioning without compromising the support you may need.   Combined with a rocker design, this is definitely the nicest feeling Vongo to date!
