Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam Vongo v3

I have extreme foot ache and metatarsalgia, and this is the only pair of shoes I can wear for jogging. It's amazing. I just have to put an orthotic arch support in for my high arches, which I have to do with basically every shoe. This is the only affordable shoe I've found that actually has a specially molded sole for correcting overpronated step. It's not shaped like other sneakers.

Finally found a NB shoe I can wear again! NB had discontinued the shoes I always wore. So I tried the 990's and a couple of others, 1540? Even Nike, but no luck. Nice looking shoes but hurt my feet, got rid of them. I wear 8.5-D, over-pronation. These fit like a glove! They are perfect for me everyday, all day, or walking on the treadmill. Love them. Dear NB, please don't discontinue these!!

These are great for over pronation, especially for jogging. I have extremely high arches, so I put New Balance orthotic insoles in place of the ones included. Unfortunately I was sent the wrong size shoe, this time around, but I will continue to purchase these for non-trail athletics.

I've been wearing NB for 20 yrs now. This ran a "little bit" longer than past NBs - same as past NBs in width. I use this for training and walking 1.5 to 2 miles/day. The most comfortable sneaker type shoe I've ever worn. Now, the best: had to exchange because of size. Zappos' handling of the problem was top drawer! This is overall the best online sales store I've ever had a transaction with. Thanks, Zappos!!!

Great shoe! I love the looks of the white/petrol. The fit is perfect for my size 12D foot. I'm a neutral "runner" (aerobic walker, actually), so hesitated when buying these stability shoes. They are sooooo comfortable!!!...among the best comfort I've had in any running shoe (compared to the Asics, Brooks, and Nike I've had previously). Super cushion, great arch support (for my moderate/normal arch), and perfect fit (length and width). My ONLY concern, as a neutral walker/runner, is that my feet tend to slide toward the outside of the shoe because of the added thickness on the sole to prevent overpronation. They've also caused a little discomfort on the tops of my feet, perhaps due to the good arch support (which is far better than most other shoes I've tried) that my foot is not used to. I'm hoping they won't start affecting my knees due to the outward lean. I'm currently alternating between the New Balance 1080v9 and this Vongo V3. Both feel great, but I must admit my feet hurt just a bit more after a 60-min treadmill workout in the Vongo V3 than they do with the 1080v9 (which has a narrower fit and no pronounced lean toward the outside). But I've only been alternating for a week, so will give it more time so my feet can maybe adjust to both?! I'm wanting to keep both because I'm optimistic neither will do long-term harm as I enjoy the great comfort of each! All things considered, the NB Vongo V3 is an awesome shoe!

Shoe fit wonderfully. Size 10.5 2e was on the money. My new go to gym shoe .Always pleased with New Balance. \Never disappointed with Zappos service. Retails BEST!

Fits like a worn in shoe.

Comfortable right out of the box. Good support at a sale price.

Good looking shoe very goes well with jeans.

I got the white and like the color and comfort so far. Nice light sneakers

Really Nice shoe fits well

Very nice shoe looks good to

Very nice shoe like walking on cotton I recommend this shoe

I purchased the NB Fresh Foam Vongo v3 for my husband as a BD gift. He liked the style right out of the box but they were not a good fit for him. He had extra wide, flat feet. Not a good fit for him.

Great shoe and very comfortable!

My bf got these for a recent vacation where we did a ton of walking. He has picky feet and was so extremely happy with the fit of these shoes. He thought the front looked at little like those duck shoes you wear in the winter but besides that he loves them.

Great shoe, very cushy and breathable. Wearing them for indoor workouts and they work great. Highly recommend these shoes. I have trouble finding good athletic shoes and NB have consistently proven worth the cost and are well built.

I bought these for my husband, he is a letter carrier and was having problems with his heal pain. He loves them. Says they are so comfortable. Very happy with my purchase.

Love the style, comfort and color. No breaking in required. Zappos customer service always outstanding!

As a tennis shoe I was surprised by its light weight and pleased by its fit overall. I need a wide across the ball of the foot and a narrow in the heel. This shoe has proven to accommodate that Last. It remains to be seen how well they will hold up over a years time.

Next time I will try a regular rather than wide

This sneaker would have been excellent except that I felt that the shoe was slanted outward, I guess to prevent over pronation. It felt as though I was walking on the side of my heel.

True to size with extra thick soles for great support. I have bad feet and these shoes have been amazing so far. Great support for feet with over pronation.

They are extremely comfortable the price is a little much for a pair of tennis shoes in this economy but I'm glad they offer a wider fit they definitely blown Ikea Way in terms of finding the right size for your foot

Shoe is good but just runs 1/2 size smaller than my previous sneakers. Other than that all is good.
