New Balance Fresh Foam 520v9 Running Shoe Review

The New Balance Fresh Foam 520v9 is a budget, lifestyle-cum-daily trainer that can cover shorter runs decently. Its moderate stack delivers an amazingly stable ride, and it's an easy shoe to trust for beginners. However, it's not a fun or bouncy shoe, and its firm midsole is harsh and unprotective, so legs will feel very beat up if you take it for anything longer than a 10K.
