Customer Reviews New Balance RCVRYv1

Please note these are not actual wear out of the house shoes... they are basically gym slippers, Comfortable, attractive, easy to slip on and off... but slippers.

Only giving it a four star from the lacing mechanism. It is not the “traditional” shoe tying method, such as a bow knot, instead you just pull on either end of the lace and that’s it for tightening the shoe. Wasn’t expecting that.

I love them!

I purchased these for my father for his recovery after a knee replacement. They are easy for him to get on himself. They have two loops on the heel and one on the tongue that significantly help them slide on.

My son has a very wide foot. He was so happy with the fit when he tried them on. He is in 5th grade and loves the style and the ease of slipping them on quickly. We plan to buy this style again!

First off, these are not sneakers that you'll want to wear outside much for physical activity or during inclement weather. There are holes in the bottom of the soles. These are slip on shoes with faux laces, made to provide a comfortable wearing experience. You could probably get away with wearing them in a gym to lift weights but I much prefer a shoe with actual laces for my time in the gym. They're extremely comfortable, light and with a flat wide foot, the 2E was a great choice for me. Great shoes for around the house after I return from the gym or need to go out to the porch to get the mail. I love the insole on these and wish the massaging footbed was a little more rigid, similar to the Adidas Addissage sandals. If you buy them for the right application I think you'll be satisfied. They can also be placed in the washing machine to keep them fresh. I'm happy with my purchase. I ordered the Steel/Gunmetal.

I wear a womens 8.5 running shoe.... the men’s 7 fit perfect. I overpronate just a bit, and these don’t help that, but.... they are the most comfortable “street sneak” I’ve ever owned. I get compliments every time I wear them. Oh.... and this is my second pair. I have them in red and grey. So light. Just don’t wear them in the rain!

One thing I didn't realize (and don't mind) the 'laces' on top, are FAKE! This is basically a slip-on shoe.. but WOW, SOOOOOO LIGHTWEIGHT! I am used to size 15 (or 16 just lost a shoe size) being heavy/clunky.. these feel like wearing...socks. very very comfortable. Might even consider a second pair in another color.. :)

Fit was perfect. Would purchase a second pair for sure.

These truly are super comfortable to wear and breathable. I was also impressed with the pull string tie, it stay snug and I did not notice any slippage while wearing.

I really like them. I'm a larger guy and needed something comfortable, easy to put on and that looks good. This hit every point. I love the look and use them as every day at the office. They go on easy but still feel laced and not loose. I'm thinking about getting another pair to have color options. I would recommend these to anyone.

I find these to be extremely comfortable and they also have the added benefit of being very breathable. The pull tie also works well and does not come loose while wearing them. I ordered the trey pair but I'm liking these so much, I might order another color.

Super comfortable! I love to throw these on after a workout and let my feet thank me.

This is the first time I've ever bothered with an online review of any kind, and I decided to start now only to endorse the comfort and design of these shoes. First, I was not aware of some of the shoe's features until I received them, all of which came as a pleasant surprise. They are a slip-on, which may have initially deterred me from purchasing them but having done so, because well, come on, but I'm very glad I did. They do have laces, but they are merely for show, as they serve no practical function. They have no insole, only a wonderfully textured "massaging", as they call it, vented outsole, that the foot rests directly upon. The textured quality is remarkable, sincerely. I do wear an insole due to knee issues and a general desire for optimum comfort, but find myself removing it when not working or walking shorter distances because it feels so good on the foot. These are also the lightest weight shoes I've ever bought, even with the extra rubber insole I added, they weigh almost nothing. Obviously, the style is subjective, but I'd like to include that they do have evidence of being designed like the Nike roshe runner, which is great by me, as I can't wear the roshe because it is far too narrow. I do think NB could chill on their massive branding attempt on both the inside and outside of the shoe, but, again, purely subjective. Finally, they claim to be machine washable, which though most mesh sneakers are, these, aside from said branding everywhere, seem particularly designed to be machine washed regularly without repercussion. Overall, I'm personally rarely as pleased with a sneaker as I am with this shoe, and admittedly have been disappointed with my last two pair of NB, as their push to introduce more foam mid/outsole and mesh designs in the vein of Nike has created a lack of quality in comparison to their older more orthopedically focused style. GREAT SUMMER SHOE. I'll personally be ordering another pair, though, I wish they came in the extra-wide.

For girls or boys... looks cute on either and oh so comfortable!

The most comfortable good looking shoe you will ever own!!!

I bought these for my husband. The tween daughters approved saying they were cute but more importantly husband said they were very light and super comfortable. He plans to wear them as an overall athletic shoe not running. He is a size 9 on the narrow side and these fit perfect but the upper has some stretch.

I'm using these for my morning walks and like them. They are not running shoes. I hsd to send the 11's back, bt now, in the 11.5's it's all good. Quite stylish, too.

There are more and more of these kind of light weight shoes hitting the market and after pulling mine out of the box, I know why. These clearly are very inexpensive shoes to make. 1/3" lightweight rubber sole with a soft stretchy upper. They feel like slippers. If you are looking for really comfortable soft shoe to wear around the house, these are absolutely it. However, if you were going to be on your feet all day, you would want a shoe with more support and a thicker sole. I wear mine when I go to the gym or the golf course knowing that in both cases, I am taking them off to wear other shoes while I am there. They look great... really comfortable... just not a shoe you would walk a couple of miles in.

Seem like they will be comfortable but they have a weird bumpy texture to the footbed cushion that I may be a problem.

They were very comfortable but definitly runs 1/2 small. Had to order a different sneaker because this model doesn't come in 1/2 sizes....dissapointed

This is wider than I'm used to and once you pull the laces tight there is no way to secure them. The shoe stretches the laces back out and then they are a sloppy fit. If I could secure the laces, they would be great.

These shoes are TERRIBLE. My son wore his one week and they are falling apart. I am very disappointed.

My son loved the look and feel of these shoes. However he’s worn them to school for a month and they are already falling apart. I will have to replace them. Granted, a sixth grader does play hard, but an athletic shoe should last longer than a month.
