Everyone has different needs. For me this one is the closest I have found and I have tried so so many. I have high arch, high instep and recovering from plantar fasciitis. With high instep I need volume in the toe box which forces me to buy wide. Usually the heel slips. This does not due to the hole pattern allowing me to adjust the heel using the strings. Some complain about the tongue being thin; it is. They mentioned cheap string holes cut; they are. But I would give all that up for a good fit. They are a great fit for me.

This update to the 1540 is a disaster. It is nothing like v3. This fit is different. Your toes feel like they are hanging off the edge of a cliff. The tongue is very thin-no padding. The laces are cheap. The fit is completely different. The quality is horrible. I would pay a higher price for the V3. I will never buy V4. This forces this long-time New Balance customer to look to other brands for my shoe needs. Poor decision, New Balance. Not everyone wants cheap shoes.

I waited so long for the new 1540v and very disappointed that they discontinued the narrow width in my size. The 12 B were huge and the 11.5 were too short. The new style and colors are much better but they’re no longer on my podiatrist “legal” list for my very flat feet requiring motion control. The price is crazy.

I’ve switched to Brooks Adrenaline. I’m also going to try the NB 990 series

Except for the tongue, these shoes are perfect. The toe box is very roomy and I need the rollbar technology to help control over-pronation. They look good. Overall, I'm happy with this purchase. As described by others, the tongue issue needs fixing.
