Uncomfortable footwear is bad in every season, but the heat of spring and summer really drills home how bad life can be with a pair of uncomfortable shoes. On the flip side, spring and summer really emphasize the need for functional, good-looking shoes that treat your feet like the kings they are. Enter, New Balance Fresh Foam.

Quickly becoming one of New Balance’s most popular technologies, Fresh Foam X is an enhanced version of the Fresh Foam technology offering supreme cushioning. The Fresh Foam X midsole foam delivers the most cushioned Fresh Foam experience for incredible comfort.

Below, we’ve put together our favorite New Balance Fresh Foam sneakers to wear in spring and summer.
