Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam Zante V3

I'm a marathoner and wear these to train and race. I wear them for short distance runs, speed work on the track and for longer runs. They're lightweight and responsive to my movements. Love them.

I have had operations twice on right foot due to broken heel & toe, also I do have calluses on feet so the correct walking/jogging shoe is a must. I have purchased from basically all major retailers that specialize in athletic products, and by far, the Zante v3 running shoe don't irritate my feet at all as others do due to my foot issues. The amazing thing about these particular style of running shoes is they actually give me speed. I seriously didn't believe it until I would wear my other running shoes by New Balance and other well known retailers. I have purchased 4 pairs already.

I absolutely love my fresh foams. By far the comfiest shoes I've ever owned.

These shoes are perfect for short runs. I switched from a barefoot feel to these and my sore arches (I have really high arches) are no longer in pain. I 'll have to review these again once I've done a longer run, but they are great for now!

I love my Zante V3's. With the 6mm drop and light shoe I have a great feel for the surface I am running on. These shoes help you maintain efficient running form while not being in a "minimal" shoe. I've worn these for easy runs, 5k races, mid-range long runs (8-10 miles); they're very versatile and love they're light and poppy enough to race in. Note: I switched to another well-known brand higher mm drop and more cushiony running shoe and they effected my running form so badly i developed a series of injuries. Going back to my Zante V3s since they help me keep better form. Only complaint: I only got about 250miles out of them

I'm on my 7th pair of Zantes. These feel lightweight and speedy. They are cuter than the previous version for sure. The cons for v3 are: rather short wear life. v3 gave me 280 miles, whereas I can do 350+ in the previous v2. Very narrow and small for sizing - go up 1/2 size at least. My toenails are constantly hurting in this v3 pair. I'll buy them again, just bigger size next time.

I have the older Zante's and haven't tried these but I am sure they are good. I've had my older zante's for about 2 and half years and they are still my favorite and they are just now getting totally worn which is incredible because I've had them for so long! I wear a size 8.5 and they are definitely true to size! They are great for running and my distance every week varies but I've most likely done far more than 200 miles in them and I've rarely had a problem. I ran track (sprints and throwing) in them but switched to long distance and they work SO well for distance. Totally comfortable but occasionally get hot spots if you run when it's really really hot outside but that's generally normal. Overall 10/10 shoes especially for the time I've had them. Haven't tried these newest ones yet but I believe I will soon.
