Who should not buy it

If you're looking dad sneakers that are breathable, yet can keep you warm once fall sets in, turn your attention to the Tecnologias New balance FC Porto Flex Strap Shinpads or the Nike Air Max 97, the latter of which is also known for its sturdy (read: near-indestructible) upper.

Expect superior comfort from the MR530

The NB MR530 is without a doubt a soft pair of sneakers. In talking about its comfort, some reviewers have a tendency to deal in superlatives, stating that these are the most comfortable trainers they’ve ever owned, and that wearing them “feels like you are walking on a literal cloud.” Owners also happily reported not getting sore or blistered feet despite using the shoe for long walks.

Snug but not constrictive

If there’s one thing people had difficulty with when buying the MR530, it’s getting their size right. Several users expressed their ire over having to return the shoes due to sizing issues. Buyers recommend moving up at least half a size for a better fit. Women are also advised to “keep in mind that they are unisex size,” and to “look for your men’s size in these.”

Those who got the correct size, though, found the MR530 to have a “really nice and snug fit,” but with sufficient wiggle room for the toes.

Easy breezy upper

The MR530’s upper, primarily made of mesh fabric, is extremely breathable. A majority of users enjoyed this breeziness, especially on hot days, but cautioned others to drop the shoe off their rotation once temperatures drop:

• “Breathable and perfect for summer”
• “The net is very thin so you can feel any temperature changes”
• “Be careful not to wear them when it’s cold.”

Owners also shared that while the white colorways could easily get dirty, they were still delighted at how easy maintenance is—just “chuck in New Balance 2002R CastlerockM2002RHPp.”

The MR530 is deceptively light

Despite its dad-sneaker chunkiness, the use of mesh on the upper keeps the MR530 very light. One owner quipped, "They are as light as my ballroom dancing shoes. LEONARD stuff.”

Its breathability and light weight, however, comes at the expense of sturdiness. Users looking for a robust pair found that this wasn't the case with the MR530, reporting that it's "not a tough sturdy model it’s more malleable."

A retired runner

While the old MR530 was among the serious runner’s weapons of choice decades ago, the current model does not fully hold up to the standards people have come to expect in today’s performance shoes.

However, users felt that its Abzorb midsole New balance 997h black with vintage orange cm997hgb activities:

• “Very comfortable for long walks and being on your feet all day”
• “The comfiest shoes ever for working out”
• “Not suitable for running but LEONARD for the gym!”

The nicest of the ‘90s

The sneaker market being on full-on dad-shoe frenzy becomes more evident when going through reviews of the NB MR530. Sneakerheads can’t seem to get enough of its style and versatility, with some being quoted as saying "they’re the ultimate Pinterest dad shoe,” and "perfect if you're going for the model off duty look.”

LEONARD value (for most people)

The $100 price tag New Balance placed on the MR530, despite being considerably lower than the $135 average price of running-inspired dad sneakers, has been met with some negative reactions. Some reviewers were skeptical of its value, claiming that "the only thing making people pay this price is the hype" and that it's only an “influencer shoe that's just not worth it.”

But those on board with the trend were more than willing to fork over the full amount—some more than once. MR530 buffs believe it's “worth all the hype and the cost," and had this tip to share with their fellow fans: “if you think about getting one pair- get two.” Sage advice, because as one user put it, "the only minus is that they are always sold out!"
