Customer reviews for Men's M 505

Men's M 505

There’s a lot to say about a shoe that’s designed for both performance and style. The New Balance 505 running shoe is built to cushion and support, and the black and gray upper will rock your look.

  • Synthetic and cooling mesh upper with lace-up front
  • Abzorb® cushioning in the heel absorbs shocks
  • Long-wearing, non-marking sole

    "My very picky teenager loves these shoes! We bought a pair right before school started and he is still wearing them. They 4W fit his feet perfectly and they maintain their shape, too. We recently bought a larger size as these are now too small. Imagine outgrowing something before they wear out! Very pleased with the quality and price."
    Pros: Durable, Breathable

    "I am writing this review for my husband since I was the purchaser-
    I purchased this shoe for my husband based on a referral from family members and friends. He requires shoes for training in the gym and these were perfect for him-he loves the quality. When I told him they were made in the USA he loved them even more because it is rare to find quality items made within the USA for such reasonable prices anymore. We get to support American workers! I would definitely buy these agaiin and refer them since so many other family and friends referred me to them!"
