Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam Cruz v1

I didn't like the closed-top with no laces. And not made in USA

Wore these to PT and almost daily , then couldn't run anymore caused pain in heel developed Plantar fasciitis. Bad heel padding,only 17 and got this from bad support in shoe.

my feet measure as a 14.5, I ordered these in a 15, which has always worked on every pair of New Balance shoes I've had. Not with this model. Too bad, they look good and probably would have been good. Had to send them back.

I had ordered these shoes on cyber Monday and got a pretty good deal on them. I put them in my cart and fully checked out and had no problems. Three days later I got an email saying that the shoe that I ordered was out of stock so i went back on the website and checked to see if they were actually out but it showed I could order them again. I went to put a coupon in from cyber Monday (the same one I use to order my first pair) but it didn't work so I had to pay full price so I didn't buy the shoes. A SCAM, But I really do think these shoes are good, that's why I tried to get them in the first place.

I wear a true women's 8. I believe that the standard is order in men's, two sizes below your size. Since I already owned the floral Cruz in women's and I sized up to 8.5 and they are still snug, I figured I could order the 7 in men's meaning it would be a 9 in women's. I also reordered a 9 in the Cruz in women's. This shoe was way smaller than that one! I held up both soles of the two different Cruz and it was significantly smaller. I liked the pattern on these but had to return. Sizing is horrible.

The shoe was already being threaded apart as well as the sole not even being located within the shoe. I don't think these shoes will last long.

Having worn the NB 900 series for years, I expected similar quality and fit. Neither were delivered, the shoe runs small, are uncomfortable for high instep and overall quality was poor. If I hadn't disposed of the box and slip I would have sent them back.

Not true to size and if you have a high instep the "leather tag" creates blisters

I use to be able to county on NB making wide shoes wide. Their wides are now mediums.

Kind of a strange thing to review about, but these sneakers are the first pair of shoes that seem to cause my feet to sweat and stink. Had them for just 2 months so far and even tried new insoles. Going back to my old sneakers for odor free causal wear.

I had to return it since it was tiny and tight. I typically wear a size 8 but this one was extremely tight. Will probably order a size up the next time around. But it looks really cool.

Ordered my usual size but they were too small. Returning them.

love the shoe, lightweight but because the tongue is attached to the side, I couldn't get my foot in. I even got wide shoes.

Before you buy these shoes, ask yourself: Do I like my socks? If the answer is yes, then DO NOT BUY. Whenever I start to sweat, the dye on the leather tongue tab started to leech into my socks and gave them a unremovable brown spot. If you value your socks at all, do not buy these shoes.

The insoles are so hard in these shoes I can't hardly walk in them without my feet aching, these have less cushion than a pair of Chuck's. Will be returning shortly

Shoes lasted less than three months of occasional non-sport use. Material was weak and tore about 4 inches. They look good but are ridiculously delicate.

What were they thinking when they designed this shoe?? These shoes have a solid strap across the instep instead of the usual tongue. I have a steep instep and couldn't even begin to put my foot into this shoe. There is NO "give" or stretch to the strap so I would have had to cut it to wear these shoes. I even ordered these a half size larger. I guess the laces are just for show and not very functional. For God sake, put the tongue back in your design and stop trying to be cute.
