Everyday trainers sit in a crowded space, competing with budget-friendly runners from ASICS, Nike and adidas that aim to cover short runs, gym sessions and casual wear. New Balance’s 411v4 is part of the brand’s accessible running range, leaning on a familiar fit and cushioning feel rather than race-day tech. The headline here is choice: multiple colourways, plus both Standard and 2E width options, which is useful if you often find regular trainers pinch across the forefoot.
Who is this for?
Pick the 411v4 if you want a pair you can rotate through easy miles, walking and day-to-day errands without thinking too hard about it. The wider 2E sizing will suit broader feet or anyone who prefers extra room for swelling on longer days. If you’re chasing a firmer, faster ride for intervals, you may prefer a more performance-led model higher up New Balance’s range.
- Sizes 7 to 13.5, including half sizes for a closer fit
- Standard and 2E widths, helpful for comfort and toe splay
- Four colour options, if you want a gym pair and a casual pair
