Love these. The soles of the sneaker do not have cracks on the bottom, which other brands do, and when I walk on crushed stone the stone get stuck in the soles., these shoes have no stuck stones. And the gym aprreciates that I am not bringing stones in wtih my sneakers

OMG horrible! The "arch" support is actually at the side of your foot, NOT where the "arch" of your foot is!
I did jumping jacks in them for 5 minutes in my home, and my left foot feels all bruised on the side where they have the arch. What the hell???

Started wearing them the minute they arrived at my door! Absolutely love these shoes! My feet have been hurting so my doctor recommended these. They are a perfect fit, love the color, and so very comfortable. Looking to buy another pair now!

This is my first pair of Fresh Foam Zante. Probably my 20th pair of NB. I don't feel like the shoe is narrower than my usual NB size, 11B. The fabric in the toe box is stretchy and I do not feel constricted, even in my thickest socks. These are great for what I use them for - low mileage runs and circuit training.

These shoes are so comfy! I have a large foot for my height and also have some foot issues probably due to aging :/. I have a hard time finding athletic shoes that don't look clunky on my feet, yet still have a supportive and cushioned enough sole to be comfortable for all day wear. I was pleasantly surprised when I put these on! I've had them for less than a week and just ordered another pair! If you're on the fence about whether to try these or not...don't be! There is an excellent chance you'll love them too!

Oh, these are fun!! :D
Ordered both the gray and the magenta - both really sharp looking, but the magenta won out....they accommodate my orthotic, the Wide is a good Wide, the fabric is soft and they're really cute on. Very happy with my purchase.

Lightweight, comfy casual running shoe that also looks great. I don't know much about running and am totally new to it, but I find these shoes to be comfortable. I don't usually order Wide shoes, but after reading a few previous reviews, I felt I should. I'm glad I did. These definitely run narrow. They're not as bouncy as I was hoping for but I'm happy with them! In contrast, I tried the new Brooke Revels and found them to be stiff and weird. I would not run a marathon in these (as if I'd run one anyway) but they are great for my daily 2 mile run/walk to the donut shop.

I bought this shoe in Thunder/Arctic Fox/White and in a Wide width. The color is beautiful! Several people have complimented this color. I need a wide width in the forefoot due to bunions but my heel is narrow. These fit perfectly. Nice to find a big selection of attractive colors in Wide! Super lightweight and supremely comfortable. I am buying a second pair in Black. These also are cut lower around the ankle than NB shoes I have bought in the past. Very smart looking shoes.

Bought these for my mom and she loves them! Very comfortable she says.
I was a bit worried about the bottom color, but it's actually quite hip and she gets a lot of compliments on the zippy orange. We call them her "Laboutins." The blue is more turquoise than powder blue and hides dirt better as a result. The overall color combination is very nice.

This is my 4th pair of Zantes. Love the shoe. It's nice and light and my go to shoe if I'm not doing a really long run. Perfect for speed workout too.

Absolutely love the style. I've gotten bored with seeing fluorescent, multiple-colored, multi-hued athletic shoes. These New Balance are FRESH. The navy on navy coupled with the rubber colored sole look so clean and perfect in a sea of visual noise.

The fit and size of these shoes are great. If anything, they felt just a touch smaller than other brands--not even half a size, though. I am a commuter and these were comfortable enough for travel and standing at work. Love the color, too!

I've been running in Nike Flyknits now for several years. Recently the changed the design and I was again on the hunt for the perfect shoe. After some research, I decided to try the Zante V3s and I was smitten before I even ran in them. When I put them on my feet, they felt hugged, but without the pressure of a normal "sock like fit." The shoes were fitted on the areas that I wanted (heel and arch) and roomier on the areas I wanted (toebox and toe length). In addition to a perfect fit, they were so lightweight that they made me feel like I was wearing a racing shoe. So far I've put about 100 miles on these and have since purchased 3 more pairs. I run 50-70 miles a week, and do some speed and track work-they are great for everything! I've found my new go to shoe and am a NB convert!

Super comfortable! The toe box is nice and big. I am a nurse and walk over 10,000 steps every day at work. My feet are so happy! Only thing bad I can say is that these are not actually black. They are more of a bluish gray.
