New Balance 520 v7

The New Balance 520 v7 is a trainer of the basic range of the American brand designed for those runners who are new to the world of running and who need a shoe with a great value for money.

The New Balance 520 v7 is a running shoe that stands out for its comfort and versatility and that, in this new version has taken a step forward in this range by improving its performance.

New Balance 520 v7, main features

The 520 v7 is a running shoe from New Balance that presents an upper with a synthetic material that gives us comfort and also a good elasticity that will help us in that characteristic comfort of the shoe.

Also noteworthy in the upper of the New Balance 520 v7 is the heel, an area completely renovated with respect to the New Balance 520 v6 and that gives us greater support and comfort when running, very different from the heel with more protections of the previous version.

The midsole of the New Balance 520 v7 lacks the most characteristic foams of the American brand, in this version is an EVA foam very similar to the previous version and that provides us with a medium cushioning in our workouts or punctual running outings.

The outsole of the New Balance 520 v7 is another part of the shoe that has been completely renovated. This version presents a sole that provides more grip and, above all, greater durability, with a sole design similar to that of other New Balance running shoes, with reinforcements in those areas of greater contact with the asphalt, the front and heel.

New Balance 520 v7, ideal runner

The New Balance 520 v7 is a running shoe designed for those runners who are starting out in the world of running with a light or even medium weight and need a shoe with a great value for money and with the minimum quality and technologies to start running with guarantees.

In terms of distances, being an entry-level shoe, it is designed for short distances, since, despite being a comfortable shoe, it lacks cushioning and reactivity necessary to run with guarantees distances beyond 10k.

New Balance 520 v7, technical specifications

The weight of the shoe is one of the most outstanding aspects, the New Balance 520 v7 is a lightweight shoe as it weighs 268 grams in the men's version and just over 200 grams, specifically 210, in the women's version.

Possibly we are facing one of the shoes to get started in the world of running with better relationship between quality and price, since its price is 80 €, less than 100 euros, a figure in which currently you can no longer find running shoes for this price.

In short, the New Balance 520 v7 is a running shoe in both men's and women's versions, which stand out especially for their comfort and, with a technical and elegant design, we can also combine them with our more formal outfit to wear in our day to day, beyond our occasional training on asphalt.
