- Is the 1540v3 good for overpronation?
- Yes. It is built as a stability shoe with a Rollbar system and ENCAP midsole to control rear-foot movement and combat overpronation.
- How does it compare to the 1540v2?
- The v3 keeps the same stability formula with two layers of performance foam and the Rollbar. Expect a similar firm, supportive ride rather than a softer one.
- Is $79.99 a good price?
- At $79.99 at Comfort Shoe Shop as of November 7, 2026, it is well below the usual $150-plus list for the 1540 line, so it is a strong deal if your size is in stock.
- Does it run true to size?
- New Balance stability shoes generally run true to size, but try your usual width, since the 1540 comes in multiple widths.
- Is it made in the USA?
- New Balance says the 1540v3 is US-made with a domestic value of 70% or greater.
