Verdict

The New Balance TWO WXY v4 is a solid performer — a performance low-top scoring 84/100 in SoleHunt's data-driven evaluation, drawing on 0 consumer reviews and 0 independent expert tests. Tipping the scales at 352g, it is on the heavier side for a performance low-top. The 26mm heel stack — a moderate stack — delivers a medium-firm ride at 34 HC, returning 62% of impact energy and feeling responsive and lively underfoot. Geometrically, the TWO WXY v4 runs on a near-zero 0mm drop built for natural gait and forefoot-first runners, with a 26mm forefoot stack that creates a naturally ground-hugging feel. Fit-wise, the toebox measures 105mm — extra-wide, suited to broad or bunion-prone feet — and the upper is available in D/2E widths. Available in wide — great for broader feet. The removable insole makes it compatible with custom orthotics. It is designed for all-position play, wide feet, value seekers, outdoor courts, and performs less well for players needing high-top support.
