Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam Cruz v1

This shoe is amazingly soft and comfortable. I was advised to go 1/2 size larger than normal and that worked out well. It is comfortable both for long walks and to wear all day around the house.

I saw the web site said to order this shoe a half size larger than usual. And that worked well, unfortunately this shoe runs narrow as well. That means it wont work for me with my fat feet. I wish it did because even with it being too narrow it felt very nice under foot.

I needed some non-black walkaround shoes and these looked interesting. I've worn them several times on my clandestine walks through LA parks, and they're as comfortable as my old NBs were when first I got them, although they're still breaking in to conform to all the odd bumps on my feet. I still insist on donning them the old way, pulling the backs over my heels instead of stepping in and then pulling the heels out, but they're working fine that way. One issue I have with almost all shoes these days is that my big toe keeps punching holes in the uppers if I'm not careful to get shoes with two-ply uppers over the toe. I'll have to wait to see how these ones work. But I am thinking about getting a pair in brown.

Have been wearing my shoes for walking and biking. They're great. Lightweight and snug to your foot. Very comfortable and I love the colors. Great pair of shoes.

Looking for better support thought the shoe. My foot caves and feels less supported compared to my aciscs

Great shoes to workout in or just casual everyday wearing.

I took the recommendation of others and ordered a half size big (11 instead of 10.5). Glad I did because they fit really snug. Might have even experimented with an 11.5 but didn't want to deal with the hassle of returning/exchanging. Really happy with the look and feel. Extremely comfortable for casual sneakers.

This is great. Wide fits well. Very comfortable. Stylish

On my feet a lot at the hospital. Comfortable and durable.

I wear a 9.5 in normal NB shoes. This model fits tighter. I recommend a half size larger for regular width feet.

The reason why I gave 4 stars is only because my son complained it is a bit tight on his toes, which is unusual - it is his number and it feels ok all over, except on his toes. Given it is not the first one he has, I thought it is prudent to get a size larger, or half.

Great on the treadmill, so that is the only reason I'm going 4 stars. Wait till the snow melts here in Maine (June 1st?) and we can judge better. Love NB.

The fresh foam is very comfortable, but the soles don't feel like they fit my feet perfectly. I have wide feet and i ordered wide, but i still had to size up a whole size

Smaller in the toe box than the other NB shoes of the same size. I had to return this style.

I purchased these for my son as a birthday present, i did have to return them though and go up a half size as they run a little small. Overall a great shoe!

Sharp looking shoe. Have bought NB 8.5 2E before at a perfect fit. These are slightly tighter than those

Picture is a little lighter color than it actually is. Runs small. Good look and feel, but I think the price is too high for what it is.

Shoe runs a little small for me and could be a little wider in toe box. Shoe is a little tight to slip on as well.

I like the styling and light weight. However, I continue to be perplexed on the variance in sizing from one style to the next by NB. 13 in these seem to be perfect. 13 in another very similar fresh foam sneaker is too big? Then conversely I have a 12 that works in the 997s? I am typically a 12 in all other brands.

I returned the product because I ordered a size smaller than I needed . The shoe is a narrow fit .
