Review on πŸ‘Ÿ Enhance Your Trail Experience with the New Balance Men's 510 V5 Trail Running Shoe by Nick Cleary

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Slippery when wet best in shoes

These shoes run small so buy at least half a size up, I need a full size. They lack arch support and the sole is too flexible. The biggest problem though is that these are trail running shoes and if you run on a trail in wet conditions there is a high risk of falling. Soles don't stick to wet hard surfaces... not at all. I took a terrible fall as my feet literally flew off on a wide, groomed trail down a gentle slope when I stepped on a wet flat rock. I was black and blue from waist to toe. I was lucky not to break my hip bone that I hit so hard. Even if you're walking on flat, wet pavement, you'll feel like this shoe loses traction as you take a step forward. I have Danner trail shoes and they rarely slip, even on wet slick rocks or wet hard surfaces.
