Customer Reviews New Balance 1165v1

Didn’t like the look of it on my size 10.5A foot and pinched bunyon a bit.

Beautiful color (lavender) and almost worth keeping, however, I found the toe box a little short and too wide and rounded. A plus side for some, this shoe shape will make large feet appear smaller. Otherwise, it was a comfortable sneaker and I think will work nicely for other people, just not me.

This New Balance 1165v1 sneaker is attractive and light weight. The size was fine, both in length and width. I have a narrow foot and this sneaker fit without having to pull the laces so tight that the tongue was totally covered! However, it has a moderate built in arch and I have a flat foot. Walking in these sneakers hurt, even on thick carpet. Unfortunately, I purchased these sneakers so I can wear them to walk my large 2 year old dog for a couple of miles daily in the warm/hot weather months. These sneakers are being returned.

I am almost always a 9N in New Balance athletic shoes. This shoe felt a bit short as there wasn't much room beyond my toes, so I exchanged for a 9.5N. That worked. The width was right and they are overall a comfortable fit.

I have Women's Walker style #1865 already and was looking for something lighter weight, more flexible and cooler for Summer wear. This style # 1165 pretty much does all of those things. I do find the Medium Width toe box is narrower than any other New Balance shoes I have. I'm afraid that if I had ordered Wide, they would be too loose in the heel. I just have to wear thin socks with this shoe. The insole could use more cushioning. It is an adequate shoe for all day wear. My legs and lower back don't ache after I wear them. I wear nothing but New Balance in various styles, but find that all the insoles use a rather uncomfortable fabric in the covering. This isn't my perfect shoe but it also won't get returned. Can't figure out why a light weight supportive shoe can't also be cushiony.

Nice shoe but runs small! Width felt great because I have a narrow foot. Going to have to send back.

Nice styling but run small and don't have much arch support.

nice style but not enough support and foot kept wobbling. Plenty of room in back of shoe but my usual size going up a 1/2 size to 8.5 N was way too snug in toe area. Had to return.

Ordered the 8W. I loved the color and styling. Usually New Balance marked Wide fit me, this one was on the narrow side.

I have a wide foot and while I loved the look of this shoe when I took it out of the bos, I couldn't get it on my foor. The tongue of the shoe is attached to the sides of the shoe, so it doesn't open up enough for me. Sorry to say I had to return them.

liked the look of the shoe. i have a narrow foot and while the body of the shoe fit well, the heel was too loose.

I have a difficult foot, very short and wide. A Birkenstock regular 35 fits perfectly. I ordered these a half size larger (5.5) and in 2E width, and they were still a bit short and way too narrow. It's a pretty shoe and the fabric is nice though.
