  • A Fantastic Everyday Trainer and Great Value!
Size: 12 Color: White/Black/Infield Clay
A Fantastic Everyday Trainer and Great Value! I've been extremely happy with the New Balance Men's 520 V8 Running Shoe! This has become my go-to shoe, not just for running but for all-day wear, and it delivers exactly what you need at a great price point. Here’s what makes this shoe a winner: • Excellent Comfort for Daily Use: The EVA midsole cushioning hits a sweet spot, providing a soft and comfortable ride without feeling mushy. Whether I'm on a short run, walking the dog, or just on my feet all day, they feel supportive and light. • Lightweight and Breathable: The engineered mesh upper is fantastic. It keeps my feet cool and comfortable, which is essential, especially on warmer days or during an intense workout. The shoe feels light on my foot, not bulky at all. • Great Versatility and Value: For the price, the durability and quality are top-notch. It’s a great, all-around shoe perfect for beginners, gym work, and casual daily running. It holds up well and still looks sharp. If you’re looking for a dependable, comfortable, and stylish shoe that offers fantastic performance without breaking the bank, the New Balance 520 V8 is an absolute must-buy! Highly recommended for anyone needing a solid everyday athletic shoe. ... show more

  • Great Racer or Budget Running Shoe
Size: 9.5 Color: Grey/Red
This is my first pair of New Balance running shoes. I've been running for over 15 years and have mainly stuck with Asics and Brooks as my primary trainers. Obviously the 520's are a budget pair of running shoes and are not going to be as nice or as durable as a more expensive flagship pair, but I've purchased many $40-60 Asics and these are fairly comparable. The 520 v8's are very light shoes with a neutral fit and a smooth tread. They make excellent racing shoes, but aren't a great option for longer distances. These shoes feel very stiff to me, more so than any of my Asics within this price range ($54). But take that with a grain of salt as my other pair of shoes right now are the Hoka Mach 5's ($160) that are by far the most comfortable, cushy shoes I've ever had. These are a great light shoe for runs under 5-6 miles at a time. I've found they start to lose cushion and get pretty hard after that. I tried a half marathon in these and wished I would have brought a second pair for the second half. They started to feel hard around mile 6 and by mile 8-9 they'd lost all cushion. In terms of longevity, I don't see these shoes making it much past 250miles. But again as a budget pair, that stacks up to the competition. I've been able to average around 300 miles in my "cheaper" Asics. They now have 100 miles on them, and so far they've visibly held up well, but already have a permanent crease in the mid-sole. The tread is holding up great with slight wear on the toe. The mesh, laces, and even the interior are all holding up well with no wear holes in the heel. (Like every pair of Asics get) I do have some light staining on the mesh / outside of the shoe, but of course being such a light color that's going to happen with outdoor running in the winter. I actually prefer these shoes for outdoor running over the treadmill. They're light and feel great as a fast shoe, but they're just lacking cushion for long runs or treadmill running. I also second the review talking about long laces. These shoes have the longest laces I've ever had on a pair of shoes. I mean annoyingly long; but you could always replace them easily. So far I've enjoyed these shoes enough to own another pair of New Balance running shoes, but my next "budget" pair will be Asics again. ... show more

  • Reliable Brand -- correct fit, comfortable, made well
Size: 11.5 Color: Grey/Red
One of the first things my PT said to me when I started therapy for my back was "You got good shoes." I'll take that as a thumbs up. These may have laces but they go on easy, and they're quite comfortable for a relatively inexpensive pair of sneakers. They look good IMHO, and New Balance products always seem to be made well. I'm not a runner so I can't attest to the functionality of the tread pattern, which is a bunch of "bubbly" circles; however I find these very comfortable for exercise-level walking or for daily activities and casual work. ... show more

  • DO NOT buy these NB shoes for daily walking.
Size: 12 Color: Blue Oasis/Black/White
I have worn these shoes only during my daily walk which is about 3.25 miles. These were delivered on August 27, 2025. Looking at the calendar, I have only worn them a little over 3 weeks and the sole is already worn down/out. I walk on black top and concrete but I would expect NB shoes to last more than 4 weeks. If you are looking for a good walking shoe, these aren't the ones to buy. They were advertised as a running shoe, so I expected they would be good for walking, that was my mistake. ... show more
