How does the 515 V3 fit compared with other New Balance shoes?

It tends to run narrow, so people with wider feet often go up a half size or pick a wide width. Fit can differ from the 574, so try it before committing if you know your usual New Balance size.

Is the 515 V3 good for running?

No. It is a casual lifestyle sneaker with basic EVA cushioning, not a training shoe. Use it for walking and everyday wear, not for runs or long-distance training.

How does it compare with the New Balance 574?

The 574 has more padding and a more substantial build. The 515 V3 is lighter and simpler, with firmer cushioning and a lower price tier feel, so it suits casual wear better than all-day support.

What is the upper made of?

Mesh with suede overlays and a contrasting white N logo and trim. The suede needs occasional brushing and protection to keep it looking clean.

Does it work for standing all day?

Many owners wear it for errands and light standing, but the cushioning is basic. If you stand on hard floors for long shifts, a shoe with more midsole support may suit you better.
