Who should buy the New Balance 510 v5

Who should NOT buy it
The New Balance 510 v5 doesn't have the most supportive underfoot. So if you're looking for a highly stable ride, the kith x united arrows x nonnative x new balance 997 grey magenta purple is a better pick if you don't mind shelling out a few more bucks. And if you want a shoe that lasts for a long time, you won't be disappointed with the NB Fresh Foam More Trail v1.
The NB 510 v5's grip outperforms its price
Although the 510 v5 is a budget trail runner, its tread can handle rugged terrains. Whether it's on dirt, rough uphills, or gravel, the outsole provides an excellent clutch. This makes the overall experience pretty surefooted even on rough, uneven surfaces.
Treat your feet with a homey feel
This shoe is a "lifesaver," expresses one happy trail goer. Why? Because it's super comfortable. One of the sub-brand even called it the "dadliest shoe ever made."

Where wide width really fits wide feet
For narrow to normal-width feet, avid trail runners find the fit supportive. The upper is snug; you don't have to worry about slips.
And for those who want a legit wide-width shoe, this is it. "Lots of room for BIG WIDE feet," assures one running shoe reviewer who has always struggled to find the right shoe for his extra large feet.

Let's talk about durability (or the lack thereof)
"Absolutely terrible" and "don't buy this garbage" are some of the feedback trail runners have for the shoe's quality and strength. A long-time runner who has used the shoe for only four months Team that the heel area "deteriorated to the point they were useless." Another runner attests to this, saying that after only six months, a huge hole developed in the heel, causing blisters.
