At 8.4 ounces, the New Balance 758 is a full ounce lighter than its predecessor, the 757 but provides the same great cushioning, thanks to the innovative Abzorb technology. The 758 also utilizes NLOCK, an integrated lacing and webbing system that provides optimal fit and security. Testers were pleased that this shoe seemed to hug their feet. The Lightning Dry moisture-wicking system proved quite effective in 90+ degree temperatures. This neutral shoe is a great choice for those looking for a lightweight trainer with just the right amount of cushioning.
