Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam Arishi v4 Slip Resistant

Fit fine but I have very high arches. The insole in these didn’t even touch my arch. Sad because I liked them.

There is a strange bulge on the side (not where my ball of my foot is, more next to my instep). It looked strange. And the shoes weren’t nearly as comfortable as my previous pairs of New Balance. Disappointing.

i needed more support. This shoe is ok, but not enough cushion for my back and walking.

I loved the look of this shoe but the stitching on the side was annoying!!

I've worn New Balance for years and this pair felt tight. My toes were right up to the tip. I wore them in the house for a bit to see if I was just used to my old pair that were loose because I leave the shoelace lose on purpose to slip on and off easier but I just think these are smaller now. Weird!

I have worn New Balance shoes for nearly 10 years. They are the only sneakers in my closet. I have recommended them to all my friends and family when they are looking for a comfortable and supportive shoe for feet that hurt. When my New Balance aren't attractive any longer, they become my gardening shoe, when I buy a new pair. I just love New Balance for comfort and support. I ordered New Balance Fresh Foam Arishi v4 for a new fresher look than the traditional shoes I have been buying. These fit wonderfully. I started out my day with them and continued to wear them as my day progressed. But by noon, I started thinking about my feet. I didn't want to admit that these new shoes were not feeling so good anymore. I really liked them. A few more hours, and it became apparent that if I'm spending my time thinking about my feet, than these are not going to work. I want the comfort of the old style and these weren't like the old New Balance shoes. I will try again with another style and hopefully I can recapture the comfort of New Balance. I will be asking for a refund on these. Thank you Zappos for being my number one place to buy shoes. LM

I was careful choosing this shoe (looked at measurements and many reviews) and surprised to find my toes hitting the end of the shoe in my usual 9 wide. I will exchange for a half size larger and keep fingers crossed..

I am a women’s 9.5/10 in New balance and these fit slightly larger than most. There is no cushion at all, especially compared to New Balance More and 1080. I would go for those if you want any comfort. This style looks really nice but feels cheaper. Did provide space for my wide forefoot and snug on the heel. Spend more in new balance and you really do gain more comfort in padding and ergonomic fit.

Shoe size was fine but there was far less arch and heel support than I expected.

Not comfortable and little support

Good looking shoe; comfortable heel but cuts into ankles so returning. In terms of fit, my feet are narrow/medium, and width was about right. Would need 1/2 size larger for toe box.

I ordered a half size up and it was needed. The length is perfect. I will have to use my orthotics with this shoe because there was no arch support, The ball of the foot area is very wide. I decided to keep because I can cinch the shoe with the shoestrings and it will negate the width problem. I can wear my orthotics and the overall sole of the shoe is nicely padded. I like shoes that do not scream "LookATMe!" and these fit the bill in looks.

This shoe was supposed to be wide but is visibly more narrow than my previous NB shoes.
