New Balance TWO WXY V5 Review
Pros:
Elite traction performance
Bouncy and comfortable cushioning
Cons:
Cushioning is high off the ground
Materials require breaking in
Performance of the New Balance TWO WXY V5:
New Balance continues to build on the excellent TWO WXY lineup with the latest V5.
Reviewers agree the traction is elite. It's close to perfect, with an impressive bite and grip.
The cushioning is bouncy and responsive. Reviewers applaud the comfort. The only complaint is the high stack height.
Materials require a break-in period. However, the upper does feel comfortable and supportive around your feet.
The support and lockdown are also solid. The materials and construction help keep you secure and stable.
The New Balance TWO WXY V5 is one of the best shoes available, especially for the price. The traction and cushioning are both excellent.
