Great running shoes! Light but we'll cushioned. Work well for my narrow foot but have plenty of room so I think they'd work well for anyone unless you have extremely wide feet. Same size as my other running shoes and have ample room. The support is nice but not overwhelming (nice for slight bit not severe pronation)

I could barely get my foot in - the shoe doesn't really open all the way with laces. I have a very high arch. They felt super narrow and small to me - going back. I ordered two pairs of NB and both going back as small and narrow - I have worn the same size in NB for quite a while. Either my feet are bigger or the shoes are smaller.

Great racing shoe. Wears quite fast compared to other shoes. Bottom of sneaker gets slippers quickly. Good look and comfort.

I ordered an 8.5 (my old Asics were 8.5, that's my normal running shoe size) but my toes were right at the end and I figured that would be no good for running. The 9 fits perfectly. Super comfortable. LOVE how bright the orange is.

I have now bought these sneakers FOUR times! Twice in each color they come in. My all time favorite running sneaker from NB and I have been running in NB sneakers for 5 years. Just completed a marathon wearing these and my feet felt great during and after! I do wish they would come in more colors! The white are not so pretty after 5 months of marathon training lol! If you are looking for a great running sneaker for short or long distance, you won't regret buying these!

Excellent shoes. Transitioned to these from ASICS kayano. Much lighter. Not as cushioned. But great shoes.

I normally wear size 9 in New Balance. I have a fairly narrow foot, so I was pleased that the medium width fits well. I could wear the 9 but returned for a 9.5M just to have that little bit of extra toe room. Due to an old ankle injury, I need a shoe with a flexible forefoot, and these are just perfect. After road-testing, I may buy extra pairs before they vanish.

Great. I wanted to try something different than my usually runner (ASICS kayano). I am taking advantage of the 30 day trial period. So far they r wonderful. Light and supportive. Love the style and I have gotten many compliments on them. Wider toe box than ASICS runners.

LOVE this shoe!!! My favorite that I have ever purchased from New Balance (and I have had over 15 pairs in the last few years). GREAT for running or just walking around. I will be purchasing this show again!

I've made numbers of research to settle myself into this running shoe. Decided to made the size bigger to my original shoe size and it is still comfortable while running for too long. It hugs my foot really well, my foot doesnt swell and hurt even after 5k and more. Really breathable. I've been running with this shoe for 2 months now and I can't wait to hit half marathons and (hopefully) marathons with this shoe. Don't think twice, grab a pair of this running shoe.

I have been running in NB for over 10years and have to say this is the best shoe ever! Super comfortable and very supportive.

These shoes are comfortable. They have the right amount of cushion, and provide a responsive ride. My boyfriend and I each bought a pair and tested them on a fast paced 2 mile run today, on cement. We were pleased, and agreed they're fun to run in. I thought the V3's ran small, but these fit true to size. So far, I am very happy with these!

Supportive, stable, and comfortable, especially since they don't have straps or stitching across the instep that would be uncomfortable on my bunions. Unfortunately, the minimalistic sole wouldn't offer as much cushioning as I like when walking or using a treadmill.

Very comfortable support for sprinting, great response, and lightweight. Might run slightly narrow and short for New Balance, though.

Love these sneakers, but returning for a wide. The racing profile makes the sneakers more narrow than anticipated, and there is no room in the tongue to get even a slight adjustment. A wide will do the trick!

Almost perfect, but not quite. I love how light this shoe is, and love that it's a "low drop" shoe with some stability. There aren't many shoes like that available. It was snug around the midfoot, which I like. It was even a little hard to slide my foot in, but once I got the shoe on, I liked the feel. However, I could not make the heel/ankle area fit like I wanted. With regular lacing, the heel slipped too much, but with using the extra hole, it was too constricting. I tried loosening and tightening over the course of a few hours, just wearing them around the house. I tried different socks. The cutout around the ankle hit high for me, so lacing it snug made that part rub. Lacing the other way mostly took care of the ankle rub, but then I had the heel slipping. I thought about trying to break them in to see the upper area would soften, but didn't want to risk it. Too bad because I loved the fit and feel otherwise. I will probably look at other New Balance. I haven't worn this brand before (usually Saucony) but am going for more of a minimalist shoe.
It's hard for me to say if they felt true to size. I used to wear an 8 in almost every running shoe, like for decades. For the last few years, it seems like I'm 8 in some, but 8.5 in others. This is true even when buying the same shoe in a new model. In these, I ordered 8.5 first, and they seemed a little big. However, I think an 8 might have been too small. I give up thinking shoes have consistent sizing.

I absolutely loved the 1500 V2. I had been trying differnt light weight runners for trail tunning for a few years. I loved Brooks Puregrit, but the next version was narrow, and puregrits don't have wide widths. I tried Altra, but my forefoot was excruciating on a downhill sprint, and I had to add a rock guard and extra forfoot cushioning. On a whim, went nack to NB and got 1500 V2's. It was awesome from the start. Wide width. And stiff enough forfoot to make downhill sprint fine. Oh, and I noticed my knnes no longer hurt after a run like they did with my Altra's! When they wore out, I got 1500 V3's. They were too small in the exact same size, so after only 78 miles, I bought 1500 V4's when they came out. Fit is great again, but the forefoot is not as stiff as the V2's or V3's, so I had to add extra forefoot cushioing to do downhill sprints. I still do not get knee pain, and these run trails just fine.

I love these shoes. I had the v3's and when I couldn't get those, I got the v4's. My only problem is that I've had these shoes for at least a year now and they are so squeaky. I thought that might fade in time as the rubber got worn in - nope. It's obnoxious. I never want to wear them because of how obnoxious they sound. Super comfy to run in though.

I like the shoe. I ordered it wide but it has something built n near the pinky toe that after a few hours on my feet it hurts my foot on the outer side of the foot. I'm on my feet over 8 hrs.
