New Balance 520v8 Running Shoes

The versatile 520v8 features a soft, cushioned EVA midsole for underfoot cushioning with an engineered mesh upper for outstanding breathability, keeping you comfortable and focused on all activities.

Engineered Mesh Upper

Providing you with an exceptional level of airflow and breathability, and keeping feet extremely comfortable, the 520v8 Running Shoes have an engineered mesh upper construction. The constant supply of airflow ensures your feet remain cool and feel fresh, for the perfect in-shoe experience. The synthetic and textile upper materials that work alongside this, supply your feet with a great layer of protection, allowing feet to thrive under pressure. The no-sew construction prevents irritation and chafing from occurring, meaning your feet will remain comfortable. The shoes also have an adjustable lace closure, to ensure a customised fit, keeping your feet locked in and secure during intense strides.

EVA Midsole

EVA exists in the midsole to provide 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 wear and tear, as well as minimises the potential risk of injury. Completing the midsole is a new balance comfort insert which works with the EVA to ensure an abundance of comfort. The insole provides plush underfoot comfort and added cushioning so you can go further for longer.

Durable Rubber Outsole

A durable rubber outsole completes the 520v8s, supplying a sticky grip for multi-directional traction. The rubber is able to withstand damage from uneven terrain to give you added confidence when out running. In addition to this, the rubber can create a solid bond of friction with a variety of different surfaces, crucial for control as you race around the roads. This will reduce the risk of injury from slipping or rolling your ankle, as you will be held in a firm and upright position. Lastly, multi-directional grooves and lugs will further increase traction, as they are strategically placed, assisting with acceleration, braking and changes of direction.
