Certain types of items cannot be returned. Please get in touch if you have questions or concerns about your specific item. Nils: Usually I can’t run in shoes as soft as the Lerato. They are just not stable enough especially at more relaxed paces when my form isn’t as powered up like at competition pace. The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later. Jeff: I’m with Derek 100%. Very different rides and intentions, and even though I usually tend to prefer softer shoes, the Shift is the much better running shoe. I am going to use it myself for my long runs regardless if I am cruising or will do pacy stretches during the workout. As it is quite a heavy shoe, it won´t work as a shoe for intervals or racing for me but instead it will certainly be my preferred shoe for long runs thanks to its ultimate comfort, responsiveness and stability.
It feels best at easy to mid endurance paces and is good for casual runs and easy long runs. It is very smooth and easy to run in, with good rebound and forward bounce, but it is not overtly fast. But this is a running shoe which in terms of weight seems very similar to a classic high-mileage training shoe like ASICS GEL-Nimbus, but in terms of type is more similar to a racer like New Balance FuelCell TC or Nike Vaporfly on the basis of its carbon plate midsole.Heavy at 11.78 oz /334g men’s US9, 9.98 oz /283 g women’s US8 Sam/Jacob/Derek/Ivan/Nils/Jeff/Sally/Adam The laces contribute to the style and high-end feel as well with seamless molded plastic aglets and reflective stitching. The Lerato is a professional, luxury shoe with top-notch comfort and fit.
Sam: New Balance set out to create an underfoot platform that combines their softest, highest energy returning low compression set, autoclaved (yup all of that) FuelCell foam with a carbon plate. Yet while incorporating race shoe oriented components, the combination here has a very different purpose and as always we must consider the outsole and its effect on cushion and ride. Nils: There are some shoes that just fit. And the New Balance Lerato is one of them. The well (but not overly) padded upper and luxury all around it holds my feet and especially the heels safely in place. If it wasn’t clear, we weren’t super happy with the performance of the New Balance Lerato. It is a first of its kind from New Balance so we definitely give them some leeway. The shoe has a lot of cool things going for it, but in the end, it’s hampered by being too heavy and almost over-engineered. We would love to see a more consumer-friendly heavily cushioned carbon plated shoe that everyone can use, but this is just too bulky and makes for a better walker than a runner.
Renee: The details of midsole are well described by the others. The midsole is luxurious: soft, comforting, with the carbon plate in the mix to propel and save energy. The midsole is a great balance of comfort and responsiveness. I agree that the midsole creates a soft ride but not a mushy or unstable one.
