Our take on the New Balance 1540 v3

The New Balance 1540v3 is a stability running shoe built for overpronators who want firm support over long distances. It pairs a dual-layer foam midsole with ENCAP cushioning and a ROLLBAR TPU post system that limits rear-foot roll. That makes it heavier and stiffer than neutral trainers and even than lighter stability shoes, but owners of flat or collapsing arches tend to value the control. It suits runners and walkers who prioritize motion control over speed.

Questions and answers

Is the 1540v3 good for overpronation?
Yes. It is built as a motion-control shoe, with a ROLLBAR and medial and lateral TPU posts that limit rear-foot movement. It is one of New Balance's most supportive stability models.
How does it compare with the 1540v2?
The v3 keeps the same motion-control design and firm support, with a refined upper and midsole. Runners who liked the v2's stability will recognize the ride.
Does it fit true to size?
It runs true to length for most buyers, with a secure, slightly snug midfoot. Those between sizes or with wide feet often go up a half size.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
About 10 mm, though New Balance notes the figure is approximate due to manufacturing variance.
Can neutral runners wear it?
They can, but the firm posts and extra weight are aimed at overpronators. Neutral runners usually prefer a lighter, softer trainer.
What is in the box?
One pair of New Balance 1540v3 shoes. Insoles are included; socks and other accessories are not.
Where is the New Balance 1540 v3 cheapest?
At Fleet Feet, for $135.00, as of our latest check.
