product details
The 1540 for men is New Balance's top notch motion control shoe. The wide, straight platform that the 1540 provides, along with a ROLLBAR® on both the lateral and medial side, means that this shoe offers unrivaled support for low arches and severe over-pronators. But this shoe isn't just about support; New Balance didn't skimp on cushioning materials either, including ENCAP®, ABZORB® and Dupont™ Engage.
The New Balance 1540 is the replacement to the New Balance 1123.
Proudly made in the USA.

Comments about New Balance 1540 MC Men:
The last two models of this once sound line have worn out from the inside. I've been buying this model and followed it 's evolution for years. Used to be one of the best total control shoes on the market. A thing of the past. New Balance, I've given up. Never spend a penny more on any of your products and will continue to share my experiences with anyone else.

Comments about New Balance 1540 MC Men:
THIS SHOE IS SEVERELY OVERPRICED FOR THE POOR QUALITY. THE CUSHION BY THE ROLL BAR IS ROTTING AND FALLING OUT. I HAVE HAD CHEAPER NB SHOES THAT LASTED MUCH LONGER.

Comments about New Balance 1540 MC Men:
I have owned three pair this pair is the most unconfortable. Had to buy incerts for the arches.
Left shoe rubs the right side of my foot so bad I have a callis now. Salesman sold me half size too
big. The tong of the shoe does not come past the shoe strings on the left foot. I went out of my way to buy made in the U.S.A.
