Expert Review Sources

  • Runagora : 71.8 / 100 — « Built by New Balance around the New Balance proprietary foam midsole, the 510 v6 delivers a smooth, dependable ride powered by its New Balance proprietary foam midsole. Its balance of shock absorption and responsive rebound meets every expectation for daily trainer training. »
  • Solereview : 72.0 / 100 — « In New Balance's daily trainer lineup, the 510 v6 shows strong torsional stability and consistent impact attenuation in lab testing (312 g, a 8.2 mm drop). A smart choice for runners looking for a 8.2 mm drop and consistent performance all season long. »
  • RunRepeat : 71.6 / 100 — « The New Balance 510 v6 is a versatile runner that takes us seamlessly from road to trail. Offroading novices will do well with the shoe's subtle yet grippy lugs that feel quite natural underfoot almost immediately. What's more, it has a well-cushioned and smooth ride that is neither too soft nor bouncy; making it great for when we traverse uneven surfaces. The generous padding and arch support also mean that we were never in a rush to take the shoe off at the end of a testing session. While it may not be very well-suited for rocky or technical trails, we can't really ask more from a shoe that already does so much at the 510 v6's sub-$100 price tag. »
