New Balance Men's MX517v1 Training Shoe

Comment

These shoes were comfortable right out of the box. They provide a good cushion and good stability (Im a fast walker, not a runner). Theyre also comfortable to wear all day. I normally wear a 10 D in dress shoes and boots, but I always go to a 10.5 D for athletic shoes. That gives me a little extra room in the toes but keeps the shoes from being so big that my feet flop around in them. Ive owned several pairs of New Balance shoes in the past and this pair may be my favorite.

The main place I use these is the gym. The soles have great stick in that sitting at a machine, my feet do not slide out at all lifting weights. That is EXACTLY what I wanted. I used to wear 14 sneakers - Brooks. Now i wear size 15 New Balance for a similar fit. These size 15 are the smallest of New Balance, but still fit. New Balance seems to be getting smaller.

I have found that the new balance shoes don’t all fit the same, this particular pair seem to run a little smaller and also a little narrower than I expected. The other part of the shoe you’re really bothered me was on the heel where the logo is attached. It seems very rigid and within minutes of trying them on and walking around on the carpet in my house it was already starting to rub a sore spot at the base of my heel. That is why I sent these back, they just didn’t seem to fit right.

These New Balance cross trainers are light in weight and very comfortable. The size was just right. I have worn New Balances for years and these pair are not a disappointment in anyway. I have already put several miles walking on them and they have held up very well.

Re-ordered in a half size larger as this is the very 1st pair of NB Ive bought in many years that have not run true to size. I wear NB because the width is good and the heels have always had the best support for me. But the half size increase did not help a whole lot as this shoe tends to run narrower than my other NBs. Im keeping them though in hopes theyll be cooler in summer than my 608s and 623s are. Ive always endured the prior in summer until now that Im getting on in age I notice more. It should be noted that I ordered a pair of 411s with these and they fit perfectly and are well vented for warmer weather.
