Enhanced outsole traction

A full-length rubber lines the underside of the Hook and Loop 813. This material is durable, flexible and does not easily slip on most surfaces.

Flex grooves are found in the forefoot area. They promote foot flexion. The outsole also features a tread pattern that improves its traction.

Running along the center of the platform is the Walking Strike Path. These lines ensure that the foot transitions smoothly from the heel to the forefoot while walking to prevent improper shifting of weight and loss of balance.

Damage-resistant midsole

A lightweight foam makes up the midsole of the Hook and Loop 813. This foam is soft and delivers shock absorption but can resist damage or compression associated with walking.

The Rollbar technology is placed between the midsole and the outsole of the heel. It is made from thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), a type of plastic that is sturdy. This posting system braces the heel, steadies it, and ultimately prevents supination or overpronation. It is the most popular stabilizing technology among New Balance walking shoes.

Extra comfort

A fabric mesh lines both the tongue and the collar. It promotes air flow and prevents the foot chamber from overheating. They improve comfort because of their light padding.
