How it ranks
The New Balance MD800v3 trails most daily trainers in our data. Looks and comfort are its strongest sub-ratings. The rating rests on 1 runner review and 2 other rated shoes in the MD800 product line. Another 11 reviews would set the confidence on this shoe's own reviews.
Current estimate: Below average
Confidence
How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence will score low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.
Confidence
1/100
Based on product-line history, external ratings, and 1 runner rating.
