Product description

New Balance 520

From the brand

We stand for something bigger than sneakers

We champion those who are fearlessly driven by their passions. We elevate sport. We do right by the people and the planet, together, we drive meaningful change in communities around the world. We Got Now.
How did we get our start?

New Balance has been rooted in innovation ever since William Riley, a young English immigrant, designed his first flexible arch insert in 1906. The arch was inspired by his observation that his backyard chickens, standing on three claws, achieved perfect balance.

Today, innovation and entrepreneurial spirit - together with quality, craftsmanship and a dose of risk taking - continue to drive our global business success.

What makes our products unique?

We have remained firm in our long-standing commitment to manufacturing and our unwavering belief that making things matters. As a company that still owns facilities that directly manufacture some of the shoes we sell, we are a better partner for the suppliers with which we work all around the world.
What problem are we solving?

We strive to have a positive impact in the communities in which we operate. We seek to ensure that the people who make our products – no matter where they are in the world – are treated with dignity and respect. We also believe in protecting our planet. We are constantly looking for ways to minimize and prevent negative environmental impacts in our operations and our global supply chain.

Not as good as I hoped, light, but little cushioning. Very thin and cheap feeling insoles.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 June 2021

Verified Purchase

I had high expectations after using NB M890 and M1500 running shoes in the US for several years. I guess you really only get what you pay for as at under 40 quid these are more about getting the brand cheap than the quality I had hoped for. A couple of months ago I bought a 33 quid pair of SOLLOMENSI (UBFEN) shoes that get great reviews on Amazon. I have clocked up about 120 miles walking on those in 6 weeks and they are holding up ok. The NB shoes are 285g (size 10. 5 2E width), the UBFEN shoes are 400g and noticeably heavier. Some of that weight is in the insole, and in that respect the UBFEN is far superior. THe NB insole feels thinner than even a cheap odor eater, maybe 2mm, the UBFEN insole is twice as thick and has extra padding at the heel which makes for a much more comfortable experience. The sole of the NB shoe however is much better cushioned, so with a decent insole, the NB would be (probably) a much better shoe. But this makes it a close to 50 quid shoe overall competing with a 33 quid shoe. I'll update in a while once I have clocked up some miles and see how they compare on wear. I suspect the insoles will not last very long regardless and I'll be out another 10 quid or so.

Good shoes spoiled by weak upper fabric

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 October 2021

I have had many pairs of New Balance running shoes. I liked these shoes so much when I bought them in April 2021 that I bought two more pairs when they were offered at a good price. They have a good tread which gives some grip when running on mud and were comfortable.

I have only covered about 250kms in them but the right shoe has a hole over my big toe and the fabric is starting to tear by my little toe. The left shoe is still OK. Since I've got two more pairs, the first pair is now in the bin and I've moved my Sorbothane insoles to the second pair.

Something odd about the sizing, not very wide

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 August 2021

Size: 8 UK X-WideColour: BlackVerified Purchase

I bought these because they are extra wide and I wanted a bit more room in the shoe but they are the same width as the standard width New Balance shoes I bought a couple of years ago.
I've worn them a couple of times and they are actually quite tight, hopefully they will give a bit.
Either my feet have recently massively expanded (I think I'd know about that) or there is something odd going on with New Balance sizing.

Great trainers but labeling needs to be better. Labelling should match the width that you ordered.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 July 2021

Size: 11 UK X-WideColour: BlackVerified Purchase

I brought them for my son and he says they fit well as he has wide feet.
The only issue I have is the labelling. The box says X Wide, size 11 but the tag says Wide, so you don't really know if they are actually X wide or not. I brought a previous pair the same as these in X Wide but in size 10.5 and they had the same Wide tag instead of X Wide. They ended up not being wide enough. Likely they fit my other son so I gave it to him otherwise I would of sent them back.

Treat your knees and you wallet both

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 April 2021

Verified Purchase

Cushioning is gimmick free, soft and decently thick without feeling tall or inflexible so perfectly good for taller, heavier runners like me. Fit is excellent due to the modern sock style of construction and the various width fittings are a godsend for the wide of hoof. Stability and grip are both sufficient for light trails, loose gravel, shifting sands and wet grass etc. But then who wants to mindlessly bash the tarmac when they don't have to? Aside from most other runners I see that is...
These shoes just work.

Decent, for the price.

Size: 11 UKColour: Vision BlueVerified Purchase

Had mixed experience with newbalance on sizing, I'm usually an 11. These actually fit bang on, thi felt extremely tight and narrow to begin with, I almost returned them. After wearing a couple of days they've stretched a bit and are now pretty good. The soles are very springy, but there is a lack of arch support for those that might want it, the soles feel quite flat on the instep.
But for ￡40 very happy.

Cheap material and unsupportive.

Really not good for new balance...

The material felt cheap and thin, the soles felt very unsupportive under my feet, and they just weren't that nice to walk in.

My 10 Yr old new Balance trainers were more comfy than these, and unfortunately I'm really struggling to find another new balance as good as they used to make them.

Great running shoes for wider feet

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 February 2022

Verified Purchase

I bought these as I have very wide feet and struggle with regular running shoes. These fit perfectly and are really comfortable. The mesh fabric means they are breathable and also good with the width of the shoe as it has some give, but it still holds my foot nicely.
Also great value for a premium brand shoe.
