Customer Reviews New Balance Leadville

Great Fit with lots of room for an insert and still lots of room in the toe box. Quality is good. Good stability. I use these for walking. I am not a runner.

Would have loved to keep these shoes but unfortunately the heel was too wide and truly overall was much larger than the norm. I will sadly be returning them. These were the only NB I've ever had run so big.

very wide I sized down and one shoe was still a little too wide - I returned but would otherwise recommend. strong support toes hardly move great for metatarsalgia

I purchased these shoes for an upcoming hike - Camp Smith and Anthony's Nose trails combined, that I had planned to do with my daughter. I received the shoes, tried them on and they were so comfortable right out the box! The trails were difficult with lots of steep cliffs to climb and I'm a novice hiker. These shoes gave me great stability and traction. They were everything I expected in a trail shoe.

I can't say enough good things about these! I use them for hiking and walking. Good traction on trails but still smooth enough to use on pavement. Ordering another pair!

Great shoe. I have wide feet and plan to run quite a bit now and wanted a show I didn't have to worry about swelling in. These fit the bill as well as have tons of personality, which I love on my runs and on the trail! Great job new balance. My only issue is the heel is too wide and so, that is why they are going back. I love though that they are reinforced at the heel for trail runs with my dog. Overall a great shoe concept but just needs minor tweaking and will be a WINNER!

I really wanted to keep these shoes. They are comfortable, supportive, and extremely stable. They fit perfectly except at the heel, where they were just a little too wide for my feet. Returning, sadly.

Awesome. Perfect right out of the box. Wide enough, especially in toe box, decent support, good sole, fit my orthaheel 1/2 length orthodics. Perfect for short to medium hikes. And cute color to boot ! It takes me a LONG time to find a pair of athletic shoes that feel comfortable and work for me ladies! I have occasional plantar fasciitis (when I am not careful about the shoes I wear), knee trouble, wide feet, a bit overweight so need good support, and I'm hard as heck on my shoes, so we will see how these last. I will update my review after my trip to Utah hiking next week. For now, quite happy.

I think I'm on my 12th pair of these, and I have a few new pairs hoarded in my basement in case they stop making them. I love them. I've run 20 marathons and an ultra marathon in this model, and once I retire a pair from active running, I use them for hiking around 10 miles every day. They have great support and are not too flexible which is key for me avoiding some toe injuries I had in other kinds of shoes. The heel is roomier than usual, which turned me off when I got my first pair, but it doesn't slip or bother me when I'm running in them. As I do with all my running shoes, I order half a size up to allow for feet swelling in the race. I am an overpronater and these have the right amount of stability. They are not waterproof, but the tongue is connected to the shoe which help keep little bits of stuff out. I just wish they came in more color choices, but then again, we don't choose running shoes for style.

I love these shoes. They fit very comfortably. I walk a lot and have developed a Mortons Neuroma. It is hard to find shoes that have adequate cushion in the ball of the foot as well as the heel. Well, these do.

Bought these upon recommendation from a friend and i love them! I purchased them for an upcoming Tough Mudder so the pretty pink will fade but my feet will hopefully feel great and drain water well. I have a pretty messed up right foot and these 8W's feel great, lots of extra room in width and length. I stopped buying NB's because they did not have enough cushion and went to Brooks, however, i'd definitely buy another pair of NB's based on these bad boys!

I love these shoes so much, they are light and sturdy and the pink is a great color, but the heal bed is just too big. On both the wide and the regular it was too big. Such a bummer.

Love these! They are very comfortable and wider than many running shoes. Wore them all day and never thought about taking them off!

I loved these so much that I just bought them again. I bought the first pair in March and have been reluctant to replace them as they are super comfortable. I just bought another pair and have already started running in them, no blisters, no break-in period.

I'm mad for the hot pink color and so happy these shoes turned out to be comfortable for me. I had to try several pairs of socks to find just the right ones to make this shoe feel great; nothing rubs and they give me excellent stability. They are quite flattering for an athletic size 12W.

Saw these in a fitness magazine. It said they were the best trail running shoe for overpronators. Don't know why, they have no arch support. Added my orthotics & that made them better. Liked the tread & colors. Found them true to size, I'm an 8w. Very durable.

I love the way they look. These shoes run big and wide! I have been a New Balance girl since the 70's and they always fit the same. I have returned two pairs trying to get the sizing right!

Not a shoe for long distance trail running. Felt stiff, had little support, and definitely not at all waterproof. I had little to no traction on muddy trails and lost my footing on downhills several times. Feet were instantly soaked from just damp conditions. Name is misleading. Could not imagine running a marathon or anything in this shoe, let alone one of the most challenging races of all time. Might be good shoe for light walking in dry conditions. My old Brooks that have 500 + mikes on them were more supportive than these brand-new. Not a good long distance running shoe in my opinion.

With a price of $115 I was expecting a great shoe, but instead I'm kicking myself for not returning them. They are beautiful in style and color choices. But it's wider than I expected even when I wear socks. I have flat feet and need arch support. The reviews sounded good, but these shoes are like walking on a flat pancake. I'm tired when I try to do exercise in them, and they aren't supportive for walking either. They are just cute. That's all.

Lightweight very comfortable. Great support

I bought these in a wide and I thought the width was appropriate. These shoes provided a good deal of cushioning while still maintaining a responsive sole. I was surprised however at the length. I wear a 9 in "normal" shoes and always a 9.5 in running shoes. I ordered this (and several other NB running shoes) and this one was too long. I should have sized down to a 9 in this style.
