Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam Cruz v1

I read the reviews and decided to just order my regular size of 8, but they were way to short, my toe was pushing on the end. And the sides were to high and rubbed my ankle. These are so adorable and fresh and I hated to have to return them. I was afraid to reorder because of the sides being so high and length, unsure of. I would say order at least a half size larger or even a size, but the side being high through me.

Going to have to return these beauties... They are pretty narrow for my foot and do not stretch much. The lace-up is just a detail, not serving any other purpose. Not in my case, at least. There's also a weird squishing of the heels - sideways around. So, it's a no from me.

While these shoes were cute in the description, I did not like them in person. I guess I am not a person who likes birds on her shoes! The material was solid, not mesh like my other New Balance shoe. There was no ventilation. They were true to size and fit well. but I did not feel the support I normally get from New Balance. I am a competitive walker and wear New Balance 1080. The general fit was true my experience with New Balance. They are a good shoe, I just wanted something cute and these missed the mark for me.

Sooo cute. Sooo did not fit my hurting odd feet. Narrow toe, what was I thinking?

Nice looking shoe. I usually wear a 12 med. in a sport shoe. This shoe felt as if it was too wide and a bit too long. Thanks to Zappos and their easy shipping policy so that I can return and try another.

The New Balance brand is known for producing practical shoes for everyday wear. When looking for a new lifestyle shoe, I was drawn to the New Balance Fresh Foam because of their lightweight comfort and fashionable look. These shoes are best suited for you if you work indoors and are on your feet all day. Style: If you are looking for sneakers with style and comfort, these are a great option. People often stop me to ask where to purchase these shoes. The variety of textures and colors allow us to personalize the shoe. My shoes, in the color “Conch Shell”, elevate my style and support while walking to class or running around the hospital for volunteering. The shoes run slightly small, I am normally a US 6.5, but the US 7 fit well. Order about one size above your normal shoe size to ensure the most comfort from the shoe. They’re versatility makes the Fresh Foam shoes pleasant for walking or working. Comfort & Support: Anyone looking to purchase sneakers is most likely prioritizing comfort and support, and the Fresh Foam sneakers deliver. These shoes provide nice lightweight support. The foam soles and foam molds supporting the ankles create a cloud-like base for your feet. My feet felt great after volunteering on my feet at the hospital for eight hours. Anyone performing moderate activities will appreciate the relief of these shoes. New Balance Fresh Foam shoes also have increased padding in the heel of the sneaker to smooth your stride for increased comfort. The knit covering creates style and breathability, making the shoes lightweight without compromising support. The knit top offers breathability, but not durability. The knit is created for dry indoor areas and minimal impact instead of long runs or jumps. To maintain the integrity of these lightweight gym shoes, I suggest limiting wear to indoors and to moderate exercise I would recommend these shoes if you are looking for a supportive shoe to wear daily. Keep in mind that these shoes are made for minimal impact and dry environments rather than intense workouts or runs. New Balance Fresh Foam shoes are stylish and comfortable, which create an outstanding lifestyle shoe.

I am a solid 8.5, and my toe was right up to the front edge in these shoes! I like the way they look but was bummed when I realized these were straight up running shoes (as I intended for them to just be for running errands and such). They felt comfortable and solid on my foot for the walk around my kitchen, but alas too small for long term comfort. I'd order up in a 9, but have had bad experience wearing running shoes for every day wear.

I liked that this was a lightweight shoe with some stretch and give mid-foot that I need,but rubbed at top and sides of opening that made it uncomfortable to wear without socks and wasn't wide enough with socks as I needed to insert my orthotic for adequate arch suppprt. This was close, but didn't fit for me.

Love the look of these shoes and they are super comfortable however they run small. I got a 9 (my normal size) was definitely too small, returned for a 9.5 and my toe is still right at the edge. Hoping they stretch out with more wearing! I got these in black and grey, kept the black, but returned the grey because even the 9.5 was way too small. May try to reorder in a 10!

I love the way these sneakers look, I don’t love the way they feel. I have plantar fasciitis, so I need a lot of arch support. When I first tried these on (they’re super easy to put on and tie up, by the way) I thought they were super comfortable. But after two days wearing them my feet started to hurt. Fortunately the insoles come out easily, so I put my superfeet insoles in to make them wearable. Super cute, stylish shoes! Just beware if you need extra support.
