New Balance 520v5 Running Shoes

The New Balance 520v55 running shoes are a stylish go-to shoe for neutral runners and feature a breathable mesh upper for cool comfort.

Breathable Mesh Upper

With engineered mesh surrounding the upper of the shoe, the material is able to tailor itself to the footshape, making it feel comfortable for any unique foot. Ventilation is guaranteed, as the material allows a steady and constant airflow in and out, meaning you will never feel like you are overheating. Allowing of stretch and movement, the upper is also non-restrictive, which makes your feet feel like it can move, whilst not compromising stability. The toes are protected from any bumps and knocks with thicker material covering them. As well as this, the shoe is sturdy in areas surrounding the heel, which will hold the foot in place, preventing it from slipping around in the foot. Completing the upper is a lacing system which locks down the midfoot to reduce in-shoe slippage so you can enjoy distraction-free strides.

EVA Midsole

The midsole of the New Balance 520v5 Running Shoes provides plush underfoot cushioning and support to ensure an energized and comfortable ride. The EVA compound resides in the midsole to guarantee optimal cushioning and comfort with each and every stride. The midsole improves comfort, performance and responsiveness to deliver plush underfoot cushioning with ample reinforcement to lessen the impact placed on the joints during exercise. This significantly reduces the wear and tear, as well as minimising the potential risk of injury. ComfortRide EVA midsole material has also been used in the midsole which as well as offering excellent cushioning, also allows for a superbly supportive ride. Completing the midsole is an NB response 1.0 performance insert which ensures added underfoot cushioning so you can go further for longer.

Durable Rubber Outsole

In direct contact with the ground, the shoe has a durable rubber outsole. This is able to withstand damage from uneven terrain as it is abrasion-resistant. In addition to this, the rubber can create a solid bond of friction with a variety of different surfaces, crucial for control when out running. This will prevent the risk of injury from slipping or rolling your ankle, as you will be held in a firm and upright position. Multi-directional grooves and lugs will further increase traction, as they are strategically placed, assisting with acceleration, braking and changes of direction.
