Review on πŸ‘Ÿ Performance at Its Best: New Balance Men's 520 V6 Running Shoe by Scott Lavimodiere

Revainrating 5 out of 5

NB Superb Quality

Have been in/out of NB for about 20 years now. Whenever I do this I am amazed at the quality, comfort, stability and durability. I wonder why I don't just stay with them? Anyway, just got my 520v6 the other day (8/31/20), I usually wear an 11 and 1/2, although only an 11 and 1/2 XTRA were available, I took a chance and they are super comfortable. They look amazing and I've already done 2 outings, the cushioning, comfort and stability is second to none. I have flat feet if that helps anyone and on the heavy side they help cushion the impact on my knees and lower back. Last year I bought 2 pairs of Saucony shoes which are really very comfortable but have nothing to do with NB's solid construction and build quality. And also bought a pair of AsicsQuant 180's last November. Only half the size because they were very cheap on sale but I could barely wear them, they are incredibly loose. This time I'll stay w/nb for a while. We recommend. Especially for such a price, $40! received the blue ones, posted some pics. **April 21, 2021 I wanted to add that a month after I bought it I bought the same model/size - different color and it was ok at first but it turned out to be too big I couldn't go back ( I did Worn a few times on the street), but too big. And now, in April 2021, I was ready for new things again, this time I used the main wardrobe (where you can try on for 7 days and send back if something doesn't fit/hold up, and get the appropriate fee for it, which does you save) ) Long story short, I've just tried the newer version (7) (520 V7), I've tried 11.5x wide and 12x wide, both are VERY large. But mine that I got which this review is based on is so tight I want people to know that sizing is everywhere regardless of size/color etc. It doesn't fit there, at the factory I guess ?. Obviously, nothing compares to buying from a store. When buying online sometimes we just have to fly blind / throw caution to the wind etc etc etc etc dropping the chips. Do you understand. - Refunds have never been a problem for me with Revain. So that's a great thing. Really hope this can help everyone to be more cautious and cautious when buying sneakers online.
