Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam Crush Trainer

I purchased these for gym classes that require cross trainer shoes. These New Balance are lightweight. I was able to easily remove the inner liner and insert an orthotic insert. I do find my heel does slip out of the back a bit but it is not unbearable.

They arrived on time and the package was good. The fit is true to size, I wear an 8. The color is fun! I've been using them for my interval and Hiit classes and they have me the support I needed.

Generally good for aerobics that consists of lateral movements. As with most sneakers, I'm a full size up from street shoes. I thought the toe box could be a little less angled. I like the extra lace eyelet. It allows for more stability in the heel to prevent slippage. Not sure if it could use a little more arch support because of the flexibility needed for aerobic exercise.

At first, i was hesitant in purchasing because of the bright coral color and the rubber-like material..but I have come to love both. In hot climates, the shoe is very breathable. The color keeps things bright and I have grown accustomed to it. My only complaint is that I wish the toe box to be wider, even after ordering a wide...I have had several foot surgeries so a wider toe box would be more helpful. However, I think New Balance is a trusted brand.

I was looking for something similar to my 811 since that version is no longer available. I returned them. They weren't as comfortable as I would have hoped especially around the ankle. They were light weight.

the 822v fresh foam were softer chose these because of the traditional tongue

I own several new balance and I order a 7 or 7.5 depending on the style of the shoe. I ordered a 7 because of the reviews said they fit true to size. If you are like me and run in-between sizes, order a half size up. My toe was hitting the very edge of the shoe, which won't work for my HIIT workouts.

I like the sneaker for Zumba, but the tongue and heel are like a piece of cardboard. too thin.

The first time I tried these shoes on, I was wearing my thick running socks. These shoes were so unbearably hot that I couldn't keep them on for more than two minutes. I tried them again with thinner socks, and although it was not as bad, I still couldn't handle the heat. I tried sitting with the A/C blowing directly on my feet, and it became tolerable, but my feet were still noticeably warm. As far as the fit, I have no complaints. I like that they're lightweight. I have normal arches, and when I'm standing I can feel the extra force pushing into my arch. This is a new sensation for me, but I'm guessing it's a good thing. Overall, if you're planning on wearing these outdoors in warm climates, I would recommend finding something else. If you're looking for winter sneakers that will keep your feet nice and toasty, look no further.

I never got a chance to try this shoe it was too short and my toes were folded as soon as I put the shoes on.

BACK OF SHOES ARE TOO LOW THAT THEY SLIP OFF. SITE SAYS MADE IS USA AND THEY'RE MADE IN VIETNAM! I ONLY SELECTED ONE STAR SO I CAN WRITE A REVIEW. DOESN'T EVEN DESERVE THE ONE STAR

These shoes are pretty but unfortunately I didn't realize that the outer material is stiff. The interior comfort and fit was as expected but I prefer flexible fabric when I move. Also I didn't care for the design of the texture. In person it looks reptilian which is definitely not my style.
