New Balance Men’s 515 V3 Sneaker

Fashionable kicks for the girthy-est feets. Finally.
Historically New Balance only makes certain shoe models with their extra wide sizing. The retro/fashionable models haven’t usually been included in that bucket. So when I saw these new 515’s on my BIL’s also wide feet and saw them being offered with this many colorways, on Amazon, for less than $100, it seemed too good to be true.I know I’m writing this like I’m about to bring up a big “but” with these shoes… But I’m actually not. They’re actually extremely well made, breathable in the summer heat and surprisingly comfortable, even with just an EVA midsole and thin hard rubber outsole. I’m also one of those weird goth kids from the 90’s who proved it wasn’t just a phase, so the minimalist blacked-out colorway also gave me a bit of the fizz. The wider 4E fit and footprint is also identical to what I’m used to with my other New Balance faves (the 410v5 dark Trail Runners) but the materials feel even more substantial and quality. Though I will admit that the sole response of the 515’s is less springy and athletic-feeling than those kicks.That said, I’ve been wearing these shoes a LOT this summer and they haven’t disappointed yet. The leather has held up and stayed clean with no fraying at the seams or obvious signs of wear inside or out. The midsole has well broken into the shape of my foot and toes, providing a decent amount of support and grip without looking agressively athletic. Which seems to leave the 515’s striding a happy line between looks and functionality that have made them my go-to running around town shoes going forward.If you have wide feet, you could do a lot worse.

runs small
I originally ordered the New Balance Men’s 515 V3 Classic Sneaker in Grey size13 but they were too tight lengthwise. I reordered them in size 14 and they fit perfectly and are very comfortable and have good support. IMO the cost was OK and they look nice in the grey color.

Good comfortable running walking shoes
This is my husband’s second pair of new balance 515 model he really likes them because they have a nice style of this model and the color they are very comfortable and fit perfect I have also the same model and they are my favorite shoe since I stand for long periods of time they a really good support and are great for running and walking. They quality of this shoe is great

Love em, but they seem a half size shorter than Adidas and Vans.
Love em, but they seem a half size shorter than Adidas and Vans, My other two go-to brands. So, I can only offer a review based on my initial take, which is if these shoes meet or exceeded the quality I have come to expect after around 20 years as a new balance shoe lover. In fact, as an over pronating stepped person with wide flat feet, an altered gated, as well as possessing bad knees and a bad back, and I imagine being overweight is a factor, New Balance are probably the most recommended brand, in my experience, by podiatrists.However, this pair did the same thing as some of my previous pairs, in that length of the shoe was just a little shorter than I expected, leading to me have to return this pair to buy a half size larger. I should’ve seen this coming having had it happen a couple of times in recent history with similar retro style models on NB shoes. So, I am returning these and immediately ordering a half size larger of the same exact model—and the same color bc, wow!— and very much look forward to being able to wear them out and about.The tread looks like it is going to be perfect in just about any weather short of a wet and icy winder, but that’s boot weather, so yeah; the craftsmanship is outstanding as usual. They are a wide width model and as much as I could tell for the brief time they had them on they seemed like a good width, so I will be ordering the same with confidently. Not only do I have wide feet. They offer some in wide and extra wide, though supplies and availability varyc, the 9.5 for instance weren’t available in an extra wide. I also have high in steps which didn’t seem to be a problem, and I also experienced swelling in my feet from health issues, which I don’t foresee being a problem with these, but I will definitely come back and add to the review after I actually have a chance to wear them out about. Can’t wait!

Ist jetzt das 5te Paar dieser Marke und ich bin super begeistert, klasse Fußbett, sehr leicht am Fuß, gut zu tragen und sehen auch noch gut aus. Sicher nicht das letzte Paar was ich mir kaufen werden.

Schöne Form, sieht gut aus, allerdings in meiner Größe zu eng. Besser 1 Nummer größer bestellen. Leider gab es ihn nicht mehr, schade.
