Baby, it's Cold Outside!

As winter approaches and the temperature drops, it's time to start thinking about your winter wardrobe. To keep cozy during the big chill, New Balance has a new line of women's comfy fleece to keep you warm.

The Anorack Fleece (pictured to the left) is lightweight and designed with warm microfleece fabric. The side hand pockets will warm your chilly hands and keep your keys safe at the same time. In the winter, I live in New Balance fleece, but you could also wear this on a fall day or on chilly morning walks.

The updated Fleece Half-Zip Jacket is cozy and versatile enough to wear with jeans or during a cool morning workout. The contrast binding at the neck gives great detail and makes this top stylish.

So, whether you are looking for early gift ideas for the holidays or looking for a cozy top for the winter, try on this new line of New Balance fleece.

Runner Review on the New Balance 902

One of our running friends at NBwebexpress.com, Sean from A Runner's Blog, wear tested the New Balance 902's for us. Sean is an avid runner, self-titled "middle of the pack" who logs regular training runs and a steady running regime. The 902 has gotten a lot of hype; including the prestigious title of Runner's World Editor's Choice. The 902 is a lightweight shoe with a lot of support, so we were interested to hear how it performed for Sean who typically runs on gravel roads and trails. It turns out they were a pretty good fit.

He says,"...the heel-toe transition is responsive and smooth. The soles provided ample cushioning yet still allow me to feel connected to the ground."

You can read more about his experience with the New Balance 902's here.

New Balance 858 Running Shoe - new on NBwebexpress.com

It is time to talk shoes once again on the NBwebexpress.com blog, and the new kid on the block, the New Balance 858 arrived on our site a few weeks ago. The buzz is starting to hit!

The 858 is perfect for long distance runners; so marathoners, or avid everyday runners may want to check this shoe out. With lots of great technologies that are just built for people seeking stability and durability, there are other features as well for a variety of running types. There is a dual density medial post to help moderate over-pronators stay comfortable and secure within their shoes.

The 858 also has Ortholite® inserts to keep your feet comfy as you run, and ABZORB® SBS advanced cushioning for shock absorption.

Another great feature is the Sure Lace™ lacing system. Sure Lace shoe laces are unique in their look and feel. The secure laces keep the shoes comfortably snug around your feet. The Lightning Dry™ collar will keep your feet dry as you heat up during a run, and the 360° Reflectivity will keep you visible on the road as it gets dark.

Technology and comfort in one sweet looking package, I think I'm going to like the New Balance 858. Welcome to the neighborhood.
