Is the New Balance 410v9 good for beginners?

Yes. It is a neutral shoe with basic EVA cushioning and a forgiving price, which suits new runners and walkers on paths and light trails.

Does it fit true to size?

Most buyers take their usual New Balance size. It comes in normal and wide widths, so try the wide if you normally need extra room.

It has no Gore-Tex membrane. The upper sheds light damp, but reviewers say it soaks through in wet grass or steady rain.

Yes. It is listed for both road and trail, and the rubber outsole with studs handles gravel and dirt without feeling clumsy on pavement.

The v9 keeps the same budget trail formula with a knit and mesh upper and EVA midsole. Buy the v9 if it is cheaper; there is no big performance jump.
