Awesome shoes, but they run small. Like, real small. I have another pair of NB with the Fresh Foam, as soon as I opened the box I could tell they would be too small. But CLEAN! Exchanging them for a 1/2 size larger. Thanks for the free returns Zappos.

Outstanding pair of shoes. Bought one last year and fell in love and getting ready to buy 2 more pair. Only downside is that if you remove footbed and add an orthotic they don't fit right, not in an 'uncomfortable' way, just feel weird because your heel is too high. Super comfortable, favorite pair of shoes I own.

I bought these for my son, he is a distant runner, who's dream is to be selected for Olympic trials. His "go to" running gear is New Balance. So whenever I can, I try to help him with any gear he needs. I want his dreams to come true!!

Got these in the Navy blue color to wear with jeans as more of a lifestyle shoe. They are possibly the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn and are a very attractive monochrome look, with the suede and leather detailing giving them great character.

This shoe has been a lifesaver after being able to wear a shoe now after having a broken foot. Lightweight and incredibly comfortable! Love it!

I use these for my morning workouts and also my afternoon walks. They are extremely comfortable and seem like they will hold up well. Also love how easily they just slip on. Would definitely recommend.

I won't run much in these shoes but they are the best shoes ever after a long run.

LOVE the look and feel of these shoes, and apparently so does everyone else. I have never had so many compliments from strangers than I do in these shoes. I have them in several colorways because they are great. Super comfortable, and made really well from what I can tell. Thanks NB!

Bought these shoes on a whim because I was surprised how good they looked online. After getting them, they looked even better in person. I haven't been a casual sneaker person for years now and have always worn something similar to boat shoes or drivers when not working out, but the Fresh Foam Cruz converted me. They're comfortable, look great, and you can't beat the price. Highly recommend these to anyone looking for a good looking casual sneaker!

The shoes runs a tad bit small compared to other same shoes sizes. Fits snug even without tying laces. No need to worry about the tongue shifting as the shoe removes it altogether. The shoes is extremely comfortable and has a unique look. Not too flashy and not too boring. Just right!

Love the look and the comfort of these shoes. I typically wear a 10.5 and had to size up to 11. Would certainly recommend snagging a pair.

I purchased this as a work shoe because I walk 90% of my 10 hour shift. These shoes needed no time to break in they felt very comfortable. I will be buying more colors in the future.

I bought the very first version of the fresh foam cruz right when they released, and it is one of my favorite kick around shoes I've ever owned. I definitely plan on buying another pair very soon in a different color.

Ideal User
You are the ideal user for the Fresh Foam Cruz New Balance shoe if you are a person who is interested in stylish cross training and/ or running. The shoe is comfortable, so the Fresh Foam Cruz is even for you if you are looking for a pair of kick around shoes.
Durability
The durability of the Fresh Foam Cruz New Balance shoe is great. The shoes have a nice stretch to them because of the synthetic/ mesh upper part of the shoe. New Balance gives the option of selecting standard or wide width shoe which makes this shoe applicable for anyone. Although the mesh is soft and comfortable, it could possibly rip or tear if the shoe gets caught on something sharp or it stretches past its breaking point. Overall, the Fresh Foam Cruz New Balance are a really durable pair of shoes
Comfort
The Fresh Foam Cruz New Balance is extremely comfortable and light. The unique heel cushioning and gum rubber outsole make it very comfortable to run in, and it can also protect you from injuries such as shin splints. However, when it is raining or snowing, the mesh of the shoe can easily get wet and soak through to your sock, but the mesh does not stain. This can make for an uncomfortable situation, so I would recommend not wearing the Fresh Foam Cruz New Balance shoes while there is a possibility of them getting saturated. The Fresh Foam bottoms inside of the shoe create cushioning that allows you to move without discomfort.
Fit
The Fresh Foam Cruz New Balance shoe fits true to size, so you should order the size of shoe that you normally wear. The shoe is a sock fit shoe which makes it easy to slip on and off. The laces are quite long for my liking, but if you double knot the laces, they should not be a problem. The shoe will still slip on and off easily when it is double knotted.
Style
The Fresh Foam Cruz New Balance shoe is a shoe that looks great with multiple outfits. The shoe can go with athletic clothes, leisure outfits, and jeans. There are multiple colors you can pick from, but I would recommend a neutral color such as grey or "Castlerock with Sea Salt and Gum" because it blends with many colors.
Summary of the Shoe
The Fresh Foam Cruz New Balance is a stylish cross training and/ or running shoe that will give you great comfort, support, and a better feel of your workout. I would definitely recommend buying the Fresh Foam Cruz New Balance shoe because you are buying a quality and comfortable pair of shoes that you can rely on.
