Customer Reviews New Balance T690v2 Speed Ride

Nice shoes! So, I hate trail running and hiking shoes, they are so...big and make me feel like I have a Sasquatch foot. These...are about the same in that sense, but probably out of many that I tried (Nike's trail shoes, merrell's trail shoes) the most comfortable for me. I ended up hiking all over the S Rim of the Grand Canyon and Phoenix in these, and they held up great. No slipping on the trails, and overall, very good. I recently took these puppies out again for an actual trail run in West Michigan, having not worn them for several months (I tend to road run for the most part) and did 5 mile trail run w/o issue in these. So they are definite keepers!! I typically wear 10's for running (9.5 in regular shoes) and these fit true to size.

Very happy with these shoes. Fit nicely on my narrow feet with plenty of wiggle room in the toes. Color is definitely more blue than the image shows. Comfortable for all day wear, walking, and jogging.

I really love this shoe. I wear these for most hikes and I feel like the traction is amazing. I can climb on slippery rocks and feel sure-footed in these. I wish I had a sandal with the sole and traction of these shoes for times when I'm near water!!! I don't think I've ever had a pair of athletic shoes that I loved so much. When mine wear out, I'll definitely get the exact same pair :-)

I'm not the athletic shoe type, but I have to wear shoes with good support. New Balance has easily removable insoles, which I swapped out for an orthotic insole. They feel great, and look very nice.

I ordered the pink shoes. They were a lilltle brighter than I had expected, but they were so comfortable i kept them. And then they grew on me. I like these more and more each day. They're lightweight, provide good support and they look great. I'm happy.

I've always been a straight size 8. These were a tiny bit tight in the toe. Got an 8 1/2 and they are perfect. Added an orthoheel insert from Zappos and now have a great shoe for my plantar fascitis.

First trail running shoe. Used for a 10k trail run, along with the training leading up to it. Fantastic, light shoe, very flexible tread. Couldn't ask for a better shoe for the price. Does great with mud, roots, rocks, slippery surfaces.

I thought that these were white. They are a light mint color. The style looks very cute and looks like they will do great hiking the trails. The size was true to size. I wear an 8M and it for perfectly.

I love how these look and feel. I always get a half size smaller in New Balance sneakers (I wear a 9 and got an 8.5) and I'm glad I went with the 8.5, but I think a 9 also would have worked for this particular style.

I love these shoes! They fit great, perfect on the first try. Light, comfortable and beautiful ("pink and orange") I love Zappos.

Very lightweight and comfortable running shoes.

These shoes are so comfortable and so cute! I love them.

I have two pairs of these! Very comfortable and super cute.

Very happy with this purchase. The size and width fit as I had hoped. I either wear a 7-1/2 or 8 wide, and thanks to other reviews I chose the 8 and they are great. They do do tend to run short, so I suggest going up 1/2 a size.

Love ?? love the shoes very comfortable for work being on my feet all day and feet did not hurt ?? at the end of the day...plan on getting these shoes ?? again...thank you....

Usually I wear a 8W in New Balance, however for me, this shoe ran a bit short. Not drastically short, but I feel more comfortable in a half size larger. This shoe easily accommodates my orthotics and my wide feet. The shoe is lightweight and appears to be of typical NB quality. Kudos to Zappos for the quick exchange!

Love the color and the fit was perfect for me. I wear a size 8 and remove the inserts to put in my orthodox' which the shoe even more comfortable. Love how fast I received them too! Thank you!!!!

Lightweight, breathable, comfy, and delightfully bright.

Very Comfortable first time wearing. Love the color too. I really like NB shoes in general.

I love these shoes! I have tired other brands, but have had to return them. New Balance is my favorite one. The New Balance T690v2 Speed Ride has the sole for trails or just walking in areas where the terrain is rough with gravel and other obstacles. I did have to get a half size larger, but they feel great from heel to toe and I love the way the look.

Love these! Very comfortable and cute. I get a lot of compliments on them.

On my second pair of these babies, couldn't love a trail shoe more. Great support, long wear- the only comment I can say negatively is that the inside lining by the heel wears out after a few hundred miles of trails. Was pleasantly surprised they are waterproof in the toe region! Great shoe!

Good value for the price. These are comfortable and fairly supportive. They don't have enough padding for my feet, and I don't think I could wear them for walking for exercise. Probably could do okay just around during the day, but I need great support and cushioning to minimize otherwise debilitating foot pain, so these are going back.

These shoes fit a bit smaller than other NB shoes I've purchased. I found the toe box to be a little narrower and shorter than others. I bought my usual size - 7D - but probably could have gone with a 7.5 to get a little extra length. They did stretch a little bit but I got a hole in the big toe of a pair of socks due to rubbing. Overall they were cute shoes but just didn't fit quite the same as I'm used to in my NB shoes.
