Is the New Balance 530 good for running?

No. It is a lifestyle sneaker built for casual wear and walking. The 11.2 oz weight and ABZORB cushioning suit everyday use, not training.

How does the New Balance 530 fit?

It runs slightly long for many buyers, so some size down a half size. Width is normal, and the size run goes from US 3 to 17.

It is the lowest new price among the 9 stores listing it, at Zappos as of November 8, 2026. That is a fair price for a full-price 530.

This listing is normal width only. New Balance does make some 530 colorways in wide, but check the specific listing before buying.

Mesh with synthetic overlays, on a rubber outsole. The mesh breathes well but shows dirt and creasing.

At Zappos, for $109.95, as of our latest check.
