Which is better for walking all day?

Which is better for wide feet?

The Campus 00s. It comes in medium width and most buyers find it true to size, while the 530 is not offered in wide fits and shoppers report inconsistent sizing between colorways.

Is the New Balance 530 worth the extra money?

At $54.97 at Zappos.com versus $30.00 at ShopSimon for the Campus 00s on November 6, 2026, the 530 costs about $25 more. Pay it if you want breathability and ABZORB cushioning; otherwise the adidas is the better value.

The Campus 00s suede holds up well and molds to the foot, but its white soles yellow. The 530's mesh can crease and its cushioning packs down over time. Neither is clearly more durable.

Which runs truer to size?

The Campus 00s. Most buyers take their normal size, though some size up half a size. For the 530, many shoppers go half a size down because fit varies by colorway.

Which is better for summer?
