Customer Reviews New Balance Coast v3

I wanted these to work but sadly they will be going back. The seam where the tongue is sewn onto the inner sock rubs terribly on my foot. The shoe also looks a little puffy in spots if the laces are tied "too tight". Once I loosen them it goes away but the shoe feels too loose then. That being said, when they were tied comfortably for me, they were easy to slide on and off because the shoe is a little stretchy. The light pink color is beautiful! They are super lightweight and very cushiony. I'm sad to say goodbye to them!

I was looking for a lightweight shoe that also offered good arch support. I found both in this shoe. The first time I wore them I did so without socks as it was a hot and humid day. I wore them all day and did a good bit of walking. No rubbing or tight feeling. The shoe material is very thin and when I raised my toes they were outlined very clearly through the mesh. Also they look to be about a half size too big, even though I ordered my usual size. I don't want to take a chance of exchanging for a half size smaller and then my foot not fitting as easy as it does in this size. The price was definitely right but only offered in this color (sea salt/overcast)...other colors are $20 or more. I don't understand why, this particular shoe isn't worth anymore than $38...it's too bad because if all the colors were $38 I would probably buy 2 or more pairs.

The tongue of the shoe is attached to the top of the shoe so it makes for a snug fit on top of the shoe

These are very lightweight, so that's great. However, unless your feet are very tiny, the toe box looks extremely long and large. Good lesson for me to look for stitching or piecework on the front.

Agree with others that feel this shoe is unstructured. When you look at the picture of the back of the shoe, there's a strap that goes across the back...this makes the heel feel like it doesn't fit. Also, shoe seemed 1/2 to 1 size small. Then blue is a nice color though!

These fit really weird. It was only the part right behind the ankle. It was so low on my ankle I felt like they would fall off with each step. otherwise this shoe would have been great.

The shoes are very comfortable but I can't seem to find a good size. The 6.5 regular was too narrow and pressed into my toes. The 6.5 wide was too loose in the toe area so my feet slide around. The 6 wide is too small. I normally wear 6-6.5 and always try to get a range of shoes to test them out. Lately it seems that New Balance sizing is off/different. Every shoe is different and I've been having trouble finding a good pair of running shoes.Other pros: The shoes are lightweight and come in many colors. The overall design is great--sleek, simple.As another review said, the tongue is attached which is kind of nice so that it doesn't slide around but it's good that it's soft because it could get very uncomfortable and cut into you. Also, I don't care for the laces; they get loose quickly and I have to double knot them, which is what I normally do anyway so not a huge deal.Given sverything, I don't think I'd buy these shoes again.

The overall fit is good. The tongue is attached, so if that’s something that bothers you, these shoes will drive you crazy. A shallow toe box makes it seem as if my big toes stick up, and with more use will probably end up poking through. This shoe is VERY lightweight- it would be perfect for packing on vacation. Nowhere near enough support for running. These shoes are stylish and comfortable, but not really appropriate for actually working out in.

I wanted to love this shoe because it was so cute in picture, but I was disappointed. The shiny material is a lot shinier and cheap-looking in person. Not a lot of support. This would be good as a shoe for looks only, if that's what you like.

Very narrow opening for your foot .

I absolutely love the way this shoe looks. Very stylish. However as I was wearing them in the house I noticed a double sewn seam on the inside edge of the ankle bone. Very sad as I loved the way this shoe felt initially but no way could I tolerate the rubbing of a double seam on the inside of my foot.

Ordered these in grey and cold and blush because I couldn't decide. I am disappointed in the laces as they are thin and crispy like they were woven out of dental floss. The back and side of the shoe is also really low. My last critique is that my toes poke up through the fabric so the shoe looks weird. Maybe these just weren't for me. Very cute and stylish!

Very cute shoe. Loved the colors. But unfortunately will have to go back because my heel seemed like it wouldn’t stay in the shoe. My heel slipped out the back every other step. If they had raised the back area of the heel higher it would’ve worked. Sad.

These were a disappointment. New Balance seems to have made their shoes narrower which is sad because they have been a reliable brand for me for years. Back they go.

I didn’t like them. I have RA and thought they would be comfy. They felt too short and too narrow. A huge disappointment for New Balance shoes. They are all I wear.

My real size is 11.5 N. I always order a half size up in New Balance, so I ordered a 12. Even so, it still felt a little short as my toes were close to the end of the shoe. The width seemed ok. The attached tongue was unusual but didn't bother me. The arch seemed like it was in the wrong place - too far back. I liked the blue color, but I'm not a fan of the white sole trend. White soles will quickly look dirty and bad. My BF felt the white made my feet look even bigger than they already are. I returned the shoes.

These sure are pretty cute on! Unfortunately they did not have enough support for me. I love to walk and do so every day. I also will wear sneakers if I plan on having a long day on my feet. These have little to no arch support and are just about one step above bare feet. If you do not care about good support and just want a comfortable pair of sneakers to kick around in, these might be for you.

cheap, poor quality, new balnace is not as good as they used to be

Heel slipped out a lot!

I was looking for a sport shoe that had laced that didn't need to be tied, since i have an hand in a cast. The description for this shoe states that it is a slip on with easily adjustable "speed laces" they are just elasticized laces that still must be tied.

I don't know what's going on with the NEW BALANCE brand. My other NEW BALANCE shoes are D-Wide, but lately the D-Wide size feel regular size width shoes???? TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE NEW BALANCE DON'T MAKE ALL THEIR SHOES IN 2Es or wider???? My other NEW BALANCE shoes are 9-D(wide)
