Awful. Actually painful to wear. Save yourself.
i could only run 54km in these before having to throw them in the bin. terrible aching pain in the same place on both feet that was there the moment i put them on, and was only getting worse. this is the second pair of NB shoes i’ve had and both pairs have been extremely to wear from the very beginning due to poor build quality. i shan’t be wasting my money on this brand again.

It is very nice
I like the shoes but the upper part quality is not good as I don’t like waterproof shoes

New Balance Rv5 best running shoe in my opinion on concrete it gives cushion for the knees and hips, whatever is in the sole it's magnificent.
