Customer Reviews New Balance Arishi v1

These are super cute. The pictures don't due them justice for the pearlized side bottoms. But the sole is very thin. The wide width is the same as nike's normal width which was disappointing. These are more for being cute than actual use for the gym, walking, running

So I bought these shoes because all the reviews said how comfy they are and I was looking for a comfy shoe for work. I'm a nurse and I do 12 hour shifts minimum, these are not the shoes for me. About half way through my shift my feet are hurting. I can't write about them for working out as I have only used them for work but I'm disappointed. It seems they are more for style than actual long term comfort.

Just ordered and received these shoes in size 11 and size 12. Love the look and feel! BUT the 11 is a little snug and the 12 is way too big. So disappointed! Every other size offers a half size as well. Why no 11.5?

I ordered the shoes in a wide to provide extra room. It is still tight (and my feet aren't that wide). There is no arch support and the soles are not soft and cushy like expected. I'm not impressed. I should have tried them on in a store instead of buying online.

I bought these shoes a few days ago because my other tennis shoes were getting too small. I liked them and thought that they were cute, so I tried them on and ended up buying them. (I bought these shoes through a different store) I walked around in these in my house, and they seemed to hurt my ankles a little bit but I thought that they might feel weird because my other shoes were a different brand. I wore these for two days but then switched back to my other shoes because they hurt my feet so badly. These made my feet feel sore and painful on the outsides of my feet and around both ankles. I play basketball and many other sports, but these hurt just running. In my other tennis shoes (that are too small for me) I would usually be one of the first done with my sprints during practice. After wearing these, I was so much slower because of how painful my feet became. I do not think that I can return these because the brand and design on the insoles is visibly rubbing off, even after wearing them for two days. This is my first time buying new balance shoes and I am disappointed because the shoes looked very cute. In my past 2 pairs of tennis shoes, I have rubbed holes in the side of the shoes where my pinky toe is, and the shoes were still very comfortable. I am sad to say this, but I do not recommend buying these.

THese shoes are awful. The toe box is tight, the cushioning is lacking and the tread is nearly nonexistent. I've bought Fresh Foam Vongos and those are much better. these shoes are awful and I wish I never bought them. I wish I could return them but I wore them outside to test them. Will never buy again.

It's been several years since I last bought NB shoes, but I was very disappointed to find that the quality has gone downhill. These had zero arch support, which i don't usually even care about, and they felt cheap like generic sneakers. Obviously returning and will have to find a new brand for my fitness needs.

The upper portion of the shoes where the top of the laces go fell apart after 2 months. I can now see the foam insides because the fabric upper has completely fallen apart.

Very uncomfortable for walking. I am very disappointed. I think I'll resort to buying a pair of good ol' Nikes.

The airie looked great but not the support I needed.
