Customer Reviews New Balance Arishi v1

run narrow had to send back for wide with fingers crossed! The sneaker itself is attractive and very light weight. They seem as if they would be super comfortable if the new width works for me.

I really like these- but they run a tad snug (for me), really wish they had them in a 15 1/2 (or 16) drat! Amazingly light weight! (so used to 'big shoes' being clunky and heavy)....hoping they will stretch a bit (would love to return for a 1/2 size up but...) will keep as I like them THAT much. Thanks Zappos.

Looks great and feels great while running

Comfortable enough, but feel a bit thin for long walks or running.

Quite comfortable, but be warned: this is a super lightweight sneaker that wears more like a slipper. It is probably not recommended for extended walking or sports.

runs very narrow.

usually I am a size 15 but my toe was at the end, had to send them back and would have gotten a size 16 but they dont make them in this shoe.

I wear a wide 4E shoe, and when looking at the shoe it appears to be narrow. But once I tried the shoe on it was pure comfort ... nothing rubbed or felt too tight. I never had a new pair of athletic shoes that felt perfect from the first time I tried them on. And they are so light. At first I thought they were lower quality, but after wearing an extremely heavy New Balance shoe, it felt fantastic to be wearing a shoe that feels so light. It is light but well made (but only time will prove me out on this one). I am delighted with the weight, the width and the comfort level. I plan to buy another pair of the same shoe in about a month to alternate. Highly recommended.

Solid New Balance shoe with a more casual style since they come in solid colors. Very light and breathable.

Somewhat true to width but no arch support at all.

It's super comfortable! But wears down easily if worn daily. After 8 months the fabric is tearing, and it also is very susceptible to rain. Otherwise perfect shoes.

Repeating what other reviews say, the 4E size wasn’t wide enough. It seems like New Balance 4E used to be wide enough for me. I had to return them.

Before ordering I noticed conflicting reviews regarding width. Hence the 2-star rating for comfort. Add me to the crowd that finds these run narrow, certainly as compared with more typical 4E's from New Balance, my go-to brand as a result of their selection of wide widths. Much more expensive - and certainly not nearly as light as the Arishi v1's - M990V4's remain my favorite model. But the Coast v3's I bought several months ago, which are even lighter than the Arishi v1's, are a truer 4E. So the Arishi's are going back. I appreciate Zappos' easy returns.

Shoe is super narrow and feels flimsy for my liking. I am 6'5 280 and wear a 15 double wide.

A comfortable shoe, very flexible and not too stiff. Unfortunately the 4E runs narrow and they don't make it in a 6E.

Definitely did not feel like a 4W.... width.
