First, don't be surprised that I bought a pair of men's shoes. With my feet, US size 9.5 for women, which most of the time is the biggest, and not all brands have this size in stock or don't have this size at all, my option to have a wide selection of design for rubber shoes would be the men's section. I guess I'm 8.5 for US size men.
Now about shoes. I am more particular in rubber shoes than the casual/office foot wear that I use daily. Currently, I have 2 rubber shoes for running, 1 for dancing, and 2 sneakers. Whereas, I can already survive with just a pair of sandals or flat shoes that I can use everyday even in office.

Lately, I have been engaged to minor climbs (day hiking). I used one of my running shoes but noticed the number of times I slipped especially during descend. With that came to my mind that I must have, at least, a trail shoes.
Headed to malls and spotted New Balance trail running shoes. In Landmark Makati, quite a number are on sale though not everything has the size that I need. I end up with New Balance 610 MT610BY. Yep, a men's shoes. Original price was 3,195Php but I bought it for 2,556Php. This is a new and quite popular model as well.

Hopefully, with this kind of outsole, my slips will be lessened due to its pattern tread that will provide grip and stability.
All terrain (AT Tread) means it can be used for running or trail lug on or off road.

The mesh material gives comfort and makes it breathable. Fit-wise, it lacks the wideness and bulky-ness common in some men's outdoor shoes. Well, it's an advantage for me as it doesn't make difference with wearing women's shoes.
New Balance is known for having its wide-range of fit combinations. 610 has the RL-3 (Race Last) which has narrower heel width while standard for instep height, toe box depth, and forefoot width. There are several combinations available depending on your purpose.

I personally like the style with its yellow-orange accent. Cushioning made use of IMEVA (Injection-Molded Ethyl Vinyl Acetate foam) midsole, which enables the shoes to be firmer and resistant to compression set.
With all its features, I'm definitely ready to go outdoors for adventure!
