This comes in as a stability shoe giving that function though the ride does not have an over-pronounced structure. Design

Is it a game changer? No, but you really need to either go half a size up or take advantage of New Balance’s attention to the wide footed runner. Even with the suite of updates, the 1500V6 continues to be a competent road racer. The reworked medial post blends in effortlessly into the midsole and is not distracting at all. The upper interiors are smooth and breath well; the padded tongue top is a nice touch. Once again, New Balance claims this shoe can go up to a marathon. I would not go past a half marathon in these. They have ample support, but I could feel my body break down in my longer double digit runs.The sole of the shoe is intriguing. It has small lugs that have some bite, but you don’t feel them as individual components when running. I have had no issue with slipping on wet pavement or asphalt. Even with the sweeping updates, the 6 mm drop midsole has a ride that you’ve come to expect from this series. The firm Revlite foam has a consistent underfoot feel that helps when you’re running faster than 7 min/mile or 5 min/km. One doesn’t have to expend energy trying to work through the softness – for the 1500 has very little of it. My only complaint about this shoe is the heel and it prevented me from giving the shoe a perfect rating. I wish it stopped at personal preference, but when I finished some runs with a raw heel with blood, I felt let down. The upper follows the 890 template and uses knit mesh with nearly no overlays. Though the forefoot fit has just the right proportions, some runners might not prefer the new heel design. The rear upper substitutes the padded heel of the V5 with a knit band and suede lining.

If you’re going to use the 1500V6 mostly for 5K to 10K runs, then buying true-to-size is the way to do it.This new variable lacing set-up could have potentially created unwanted top-down pressure, so adding the padded filter is a nice design move. The right equipment, such as the right running clothing, is the basis for good performance, and these shoes are certainly part of quality basic equipment. The design is classic as well as the lacing but, it is the sole and the grip on the ground that offers to make the difference compared to other models. New Balance 680v6: Best Price UK
