Customer Reviews New Balance 1500v3

This style is the best for my routine! Just sad that they'r discontinued.

This is the best pair of running shoes I have ever owned. Super comfortable and fit great.

These are great for just about any road racing from under a mile to a half marathon and possibly beyond. If you use these as trainers expect a moderate to short lifespan, they will compress and loose their cushion but this should be expected of any lightweight shoe. These shoes are comfortable and have a relatively stiff mid-sole meaning that they promote running fast and spring you forward efficiently. Overall these are great shoes.

I ordered these to try something different than the ASICS GT2Ks. The foot sleeve was a little different feel for me, so I ordered the next size up, but ended up like both pair so much I kept them. Really great shoes, the toebox isn't too cramped and the shoes are really light. They are definitely going to stay in my rotation.

This shoe was light and low profile. Unfortunately it seems a 2E is no longer a 2E. I have been wearing 12 2E for years but it appears after trying several 2E pairs they all ran narrow and not too many 4E shoes are availably.

These shoes fell like putting on a glove with a snug but not too tight fit. They are lighter than I expected and seem to help to speed up my foot turnover. The only reason they are not rated 5 stars is the sole of the shoe is harder than expected. They are still comfortable and support the foot well.

received this shoe A few weeks ago and used them for the gym. They were very comfortable and had good grip with the mat.

I would not buy if stability is your main priority. Although it does offer more stability than most lightweight shoes. The shoe feels snug on my feet and not loose at all. Definitely a fast shoe for those trying to get new PR's.

I ordered this directly from New Balance and the shoe laces were two different lengths. The shoe was stiff out of the box. I run about 25 to 30 miles a week and the shoe did soften up with some time. Overall though shoe was a light fast shoe for me that I do like for 5K's races and short run days.

The blurb describing the 1500v3 captures its essence perfectly, so long as you recognize that that the '"subtle improvements to fit" take the form of a tighter medial forefoot, and that "more edge on the competition than ever before" is a euphemism for the shoe's commitment to toughen you up by adorning your toes with calluses. Seriously, anyone who liked the out-of-the-box fit of the 1500v2 should not assume that this shoe will feel the same as its predecessor and should try on the shoe before purchasing. Fortunately, the 1500v3 does retain the stable and responsive road feel that fans of the shoe will continue to appreciate.

I was obsessed with the v2 of this shoe. not sure why they messed with it. now it feels tight, especially in the toebox. my feet hurt after runs. please bring back the old version

First off, I LOVED the 1500v2. Just a great show. Fast. Great fit. Just a shoe I loved to run in. I bought these shoes hoping for the same, but I had to quickly return them. For one, they are too narrow, and some of the softness is gone from the previous version. And gone (I believe) are those inner, built-in socks that hugged your foot. NB really needs to go back to the elements that made the v2 such a resounding success.

I have been a loyal 1500 user since the first version. As a triathlete, this shoe was designed perfectly in the first 2 versions. (considering NB made it for Ironman World Champion Sebastian Kienle). Then NB decided to tinker with it and the V3 is a complete failure. It runs at least a full size small vs. the predecessors. Tight toe box and mid foot and the shoe doesn't have the same feel-of-the road vs. previous. Please, NB... don't mess with a good thing. You had an outstanding shoe! Revert back to the fit and design of the v2!

Unconfortable. 1500 v2 is Better. I normal lyra use New ballance sizenando 10 but v3 is todo small
