Customer Reviews New Balance Arishi v1

It's always difficult finding comfortable and descent looking shoes in a size 15 4e. I needed a comfortable pair of good looking gym shoes for my office job. We have a business very casual dress code. I gave my significant other a choice of 5 or 6 gym shoes in my size and she chose these. They weren't my first choice but I'm glad I took her advice. They look better than the photos, are true to size and comfortable. They don't have a tremendous amount of arch support for my flat feet, but I have my Brooks Beasts for strenuous workouts. Overall I'm very happy with these shoes.

Very comfortable shoes. At first I felt the toe area was snug for width but after wearing for a day, it has expanded and feels good. I'll buy another pair soon.

These are quite possibly the most comfortable shoe I’ve owned. The sole is incredibly absorbent, they are lightweight, and they have great traction.

This is my new favorite pair of shoes. I love New Balance shoes since they carry wide sizes. The quality and craftsmanship of these shoes is excellent. They are so lightweight, I would forget that I have shoes on, except for the comfort level. I like this pair so much I'm going to get another pair in a different color.

This is one of the most comfortable sneakers I’ve ever owned. I have two pair in different colors. I don’t feel like the wide is wide enough but it’s not causing any problems yet. I do fear that they won’t hold up but so far so good. Also a great sneaker for travel because they fold up pretty flat when packed into a bag.

It's difficult to find wide shoes that are truly wide and offer support for all day wear. These are great!

I have big fat feet (134E) and they fit great. I don't understand the people that say they run extremely narrow. Those are definitely NOT the shoes I received. They look good and are light and comfy. I like the gum colored soles. It's a nice touch. I use orthotic inserts so I can't comment on the support, but they seem okay in that regard. Overall, I'm pleased.

The shoe itself looks good and sole is very spongy. Much lower quality than the 990 v4, but it is also less than 1/2 the price. It is a narrow 4E!!!!!! I'm a true 4E and find the 990 v4 is a perfect width - my fat feet hung over both sides and there was considerable pressure at the widest point. If you are on the narrow side of wide (?) then this shoe would be a good option

A great shoe! Comfy and looks nice

The shoe is snug putting it on, but once its on its a dream to walk in! My feet used to hurt every day after work after walki g and standing for hours through out the day nonstop. But no longer. I feel like I can walk for hours!

Excellent quality shoe. Very comfortable, especially for those of us with wide feet.

Stylish and comfortable for a wide foot, as always with New Balance.

Overall, not a bad shoe. They're stylish, fit true to size(15), and are pretty comfortable (once you get some decent insoles). That said, they aren't without problems. After wearing these for a month or two, I developed pretty bad shin pain. I told my physical therapist about the pain and the first thing she said was "take off your shoes." After checking them out she told me that these shoes have "crap for support" and said to get some insoles with more support. I did that and the shin pain was gone within a week or two.Within 3 months, the gum sole started to separate from the foam bottom. After about 8 months of walking 3-4 miles a day, the fabric ripped away from the foam on the inside of the shoe.In total they lasted about 10 months before it was time to get new shoes.

These running shoes look great. The style and colors were perfect. The tread seems great and the soles seem to provide good cushioning. This shoe could be a little more supportive. Also, I have a pretty wide foot and the 4e we’re not wide enough at all. The edges of my feet hang down over the sides and after a few minutes wearing, my foot started to ache. I tried a size up and the middle of the shoe is pretty narrow so my foot didn’t sit right. Too bad I’m probably going to send them back. New Balance wide shoes seem to still have narrow toe boxes and wider mid-shoe/heels. I have the opposite issue. My foot is really wide in the toe area but narrow in the heel. Like flippers.

Felt about a half size too small, and slightly too narrow.

Size and width felt right but not enough arch support for me. I'll be returning these and trying something else.

Well it’s a great item but they are torn and falling apart. Not happy with them. :-(

Great shoes! These are my go to pair for travel. Super light weight, comfortable, and nice looking. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another pair, and most likely will as soon as these ones wear out.

Very comfortable! I have SUPER wide, super box-y feet, so these shoes aren't that attractive on me due to the toe of the shoe not having a very rounded shape, but they're comfy, light, and they breathe well (which is great since it's summer in Alabama).

Exactly as advertised. I use them for everything - workout, running errands, golf, tennis

These shoes are very comfortable and they have a good grip. Happy with the purchase.

A bit small for me, but a half size bigger will be great. Shoes are pretty non descript, but that is a good thing. Soles look like they would be good for a while.

Love them have had them for a while now have held up good. I have even washed them a couple times. The run narrow so I gad ot get the wide. Nice sneaker very light weight easy to pack easy to wear I am so use to them now I don't want to wear anything else!
