Customer Reviews New Balance The Shockingly Unshocking

I'm a 32DD, and this is a great bra for moderate to high impact activities. Comfortable and fits well.

I love this bra! I have a very large chest but a small rib cage so it can be challenging to find bras that fit snugly enough around my ribs without my cups spilling over (if you get my drift). This bra is perfect because it comes in so many sizes. Plus it has a super wide band with 3 clasps so it feels more secure than most 2 clasp bras. And I love non-racerback styles with fully adjustable straps, not some piddly little area where you can adjust just an inch or two. With these straps you can make them as short or as long as need be, and they're thick enough to be truly supportive. I run, lift weights, and bike in this sports bra, and everything stays in place. Will probably be ordering another very soon!

At first I thought I wasn't going to like this as much as I like an earlier New Balance version - but it ISN'T scratchy or overly confining and I use it a lot, even under regular clothing. Good buy.

Love this bra. I am a 44DD and only have generic, ugly sports bras. To find one made by New Balance was so exciting. I wore it today for my aerobic class and had very minimal bounce. Love the colors. Thanks so much for offering this product on my size. This was probably one of the best purchases I have made this year!

Adjustable wide straps are great; no rubbing from the clasp in the back; great color.

My new favorite bra! I was looking for a bra that would provide support and still let me breathe and move. This is it! It is also very true to size.

This is my favorite bra ever! It is great for everyday use, not just for exercise. The Velcro strap adjustors do not slip down like the ring-stlye adjusters do on other types of bras. The coverage is great - at the sides and in the cleavage area. It is superbly comfortable, holds my frontage in a lovely shape, and has a fastener at the back so you do not have to struggle to get it on like some types of sports bras.

The best sports bra ever. I'm a 36DD and this bra keeps everything in place during jumping, running, and everything else during boot camp. And all while being stylish and comfortable. I am incredibly happy with my purchase and I'm looking to buy more.

Freaking amazing! Keeps my 36DD in place without jiggle or strain through kickboxing and Zumba. This is the bra I've been looking for for the last 20 years. The Velcro straps are adjustable in the front, meaning easy adjustments without having to resort to cirque du soleil contortions. Definitely a great sports bra.

Very nice bra, no bounce, chest band sturdy, doesn't roll. Still produces a bit of a uniboob but suspect this is only really fixable with an underwire.

A well made sports bra. However, the adjustable straps didn't go long enough for me (I guess my boobs are a little further from my shoulders than most!) so I need to return it.

Provides great support, firm hold, however band doesn't stretch. Love the thick straps and full coverage.

This is a very supportive bra for for bigger bust people. The straps are easy to adjust, as was all as they do not dig into your skin at all.

This is a nice sports bra but is a little tight for a 36 which I ordered a little larger than I usually wear. I will send it back and trade it for a 38.

I like the neckline and will be using this under a racerback top to reduce the amount of cleavage showing. Also under clothing in general, not just for working out. It droops a bit in front over the chest band and I got a small extender for the back hooks, but otherwise very nice. Not quite as minimizing and supportive as the other brand of similar sports bras, but there was no black in that series.

I'm looking for a supportive sports bra that doesn't go over-the-head and works for a 34D. This isn't it. Although it doesn't go over my head and IS comfortable (soft fabric, comfortable straps and band), the amount of support it offers is not enough for me -- for running, calisthenics, etc. I'll keep it for weight days and yoga days, but won't wear it for bouncy sports because of the, well, "bounce." Also, no headlight protection. Still looking for my go-to bra!!

I tired the bra on, and it seemed to be very comfortable. But it didn't feel like there was much support, so I had to return it without really trying it out. I'm a 38DD and I need high impact support. Maybe if you're a smaller size, this bra would work. I wouldn't recommend it for a larger sized person, even for low impact activity. It really felt like it had zero support : (

Pretty color, and comfortable, but I'm still bouncing in this bra. I do not use this bra for running because of the bounce factor. I am a 36DD. I didn't return it, but have it as a backup for non-running workouts. I gave 3 stars for overall because the girls don't have enough support during running.

Not as supportive as I thought it would be. The netting in the front was not stitched correctly...but couldn't be bothered to send it back. Great service from Zappos.

Soft fabric. But the metal clasps connecting the straps to the bra kept twisting and dug in to my skin. Also the band seemed to trap moisture. It seemed to be a little short - it was hard to reach the back hooks to clasp/unclasp. Definitely no separation. Back to my Moving Comfort Maia. Similar look but no metal clasps and easy on/off.

Of all the bras I tried the New Balance seems the best.

When I first tried this on, unsweaty, it was fine. When I wore it to work out, I quickly developed a hot and itchy monoboob. I'm an active 34 C/D. This bra would not suffice for jump rope or running. Buy only if you don't plan to sweat or bounce.

I ordered three 40DD of these sports bras, one each in titan (blue), dragonfly (orange) and white. I couldn't even hook up the titan and dragonfly. The only one that fit was the white one. When I laid the three bras on top of each other, it is clear that the bands are very different lengths. The white one measured 35.5 inches, the dragonfly measured only 35 inches and the titan was only 34 inches. I wore the white one (the only one I could hook up), but I will definitely be returning the titan and dragonfly. I am VERY DISAPPOINTED in the lack of consistency on three bras that are supposedly the same size. I will not be reordering this sports bra.
