Possibly one of the best trail running shoes in terms of value for money is here. This shoe is perfect for running in less technical terrain, such as trails, paths, and roads.

When comparing these Nitrel v5 from the Boston brand with their predecessor, the New Balance Nitrel v4, it's worth noting that the main change lies in the updated upper.

This time, the updated New Balance Nitrel v5 features a new engineered mesh to ensure greater breathability and durability. It's also striking that all the overlays are seamless, which contributes to improved fit and comfort, while also emphasizing a more elegant aesthetic.

Another interesting detail on the upper of these Nitrel v5s is a more adjustable lacing system, thus enhancing support and a more personalized fit.

Like New Balance's most acclaimed trail running shoes—New Balance Fresh Foam X Hierro v7 and New Balance Fresh Foam More Trail v2—this fifth iteration of the New Balance Nitrel v5 includes the TeoProtect compound in the toe box, which provides reinforcement and protection against external elements at this strategic point of the shoe.

Regarding the midsole, the focus remains on New Balance's innovative and exclusive Dynasoft material. A technological resource that provides an optimal level of cushioning, is very comfortable and responsive with every stride. Furthermore, the point of improvement here is that this Dynasoft material has up to 3% bio-based content, as indicated by the New Balance brand itself. These are renewable resources that aim to reduce the carbon footprint. Meanwhile, the EVA foam insert contributes to increasing the model's comfort level.
