I'm currently testing the New Balance FuelCell SuperComp Trail as a walking shoe and I have to say I'm impressed. It's comfortable, breathable and light for a trail shoe.
It carries a hefty price tag of $200, but if you've had your eye on a pair, Zappos is selling the men's shoe in the Butterscotch/Deep Sea colorway for $100 and the women's for 40% off in Plum Brown/Calcium. This Cyber Monday deal is not to be missed!
Be aware that these shoes run very small. Zappos recommends buying a half-size up, but for me, this still wasn't enough. Usually a UK 5.5-6, but I wear the FuelCell SuperComp Trail in a UK size 7. If you allow for this difference in sizing, however, you should be fine.
I've been testing the FuelCell SuperComp Trail for a couple of weeks and they've handled the icy and muddy pavements I've been contending with on my dog walks. I find it hard to keep my balance sometimes, so a sole with plenty of grip goes a long way for me, especially in walking shoes.
The SuperComp Trail is designed for trail running, so I've not been using them to their full potential, but I can confirm that they're very comfortable for walking, especially on uneven and slippery terrain.
These shoes aren't fully waterproof, but can handle a bit of damp underfoot or drizzly rain. There's always a trade-off between waterproofing and breathability, and the design of this shoe leans toward the latter.
Trail shoes tend to be heavy, but these are remarkably lightweight, coming in at 8.8 oz for the men's.
