Review on New Balance 1500V6 Vision Running Shoe by Chris Benton

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The shoes are excellent and light but very easy to scratch

, I have had a pair of 1500 v2's and they were fantastic but half a size too small. Couldn't find any 1500 smaller than v6 for size 13 online other than these. They are wider than v2 which is great. Another New Balance Racing shoe that feels like you're floating on a cloud when you run. However, due to the nature of the material, they scratch very easily. Within 50 miles of a run, the heel area is pretty dirty and you can't clean it with regular shoe cleaners. The bottom of the boots start to look quite dirty very quickly within the first 3 runs. Those are the things that I find a little more unusual in New Balance shoes, but they're different styles of materials than what I'm used to in New Balance shoes. LOOKS like he won't be 2 years old in 2 months, then maybe look elsewhere. Running in them doesn't feel like the old ones though, they just pick up bits of band-aid stuck to the material a little more easily than other New Balance running shoes.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
