New Balance fresh foam vante 3

lulublue22

Hi All

After two recent falls I think it’s time to change my runners. I’ve had 3 pairs of the NB fresh foam zante 3. I tend to stick to what I know. They seem to have been discontinued and I can’t find which runner has replaced them. Anyone able to recommend a replacement ? I’ve been looking at the NB tempo , v880 and the 1001 ( I think) or if not NB a neutral running shoe.

The Tempo replaced the Zante....

880 is more cushioned than the Zante, but not massively more cushioned.
There is a new version of the 880 being rolled out so you should be able to pick up the v10
at a knocked down price!

Have a look a these also the Hoka Mach 4, would be similar to your Zante
cushion wise and drop wise.....

880 is a solid daily trainer. Got 1,700km total from 2x pairs. No other shoe has come close since, but then I rotate a lot more types of shoe now.

Tks - I ‘ve only ever used one pair at a time so I’ve gotten a bit caught out re sizing now that my go to pair are discontinued. Hoping to stick to NB primarily as I’m used to their sizing. A few posters have recommended Brooks ghost 13 as well but might have a look at those as well.

The Ghost 13 will feel like a block on your foot compared to the Zante.
You have a 4mm drop in the Zante and a 12mm in the Ghost....
The Cushion in the Ghost works like a memory foam where as
the cushion in the Zante is targeted, the Zante is for running and faster running.
The Ghost is for jogging and running....

It really depends on where you are in your running....

to be brutally honest - I liked the look of them I liked the feel of them and I enjoyed running in them - running / jogging used them for every run ðŸ˜


ETA - maybe I should look at getting more than 1 pair of runners ??

Tks ariana - have taken a look at the tempo - can’t seem to find them in my size so far but need to google a bit more. I’m seriously thinking of getting two pairs and rotating them. Possibly the tempo and another brand.
