Before my trip to Disney last month, I went on a hunt for a comfortable shoe to wear in the parks. I wanted something with some support, but I also wanted something that looked nice. Little did I know, the ideal pair of shoes was sitting in a box right in my house!
New Balance provided me a pair of 711 Heathered training shoes, and I pulled them out to try on before we left for our trip. Since I wear a half size of shoe and many shoe companies don’t carry half sizes, I often have trouble finding the right fit. New Balance carries half sizes and their shoes always fit me really well. The 711 trainers felt great, and after testing them out on a couple of long walks, I was convinced that they would do the job at Disney.
The women’s 711 trainer has the CUSH+ midsole compound, making them extremely comfortable and versatile. They are great for workouts and for stability in strength training. They are very flexible too, which I prefer over a stiff trainer.
The 711 is optimal for those seeking a casual, unstructured fitness trainer for their varied interests. This shoe offers a combination of visual technology and comfort, which allows for high performance at an incredible value. Featuring CUSH+ in the midsole, the 711 offers a lower durometer for excellent fit and feel, good compression to make that initial feeling last over time, and great rebound to give you a “spring in your step”.
I wore the 711 trainers every day at the theme parks and I didn’t get any blisters or sore feet from the shoes. It is my first Disney trip that I didn’t switch shoes every day due to soreness, so I have definitely found my new trainer.
