Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam Cruz v2 Decon

I have a large bunion and need a wide toe box with mesh whether it be in a sneaker or a shoe. These shoes are awesome - so comfortable and I walked two miles with no issues right away when I got them. I have a hard time finding shoes so I might just order in all the available colors!

I’m not sure who sized these, but I ordered two different pairs of New Balance both men’s 10. These fit my girlfriends feet perfectly who wears a women’s 7. I could barely cram mine in there. Zappos was great about returning them!

NEW BALANCE: please add a pull loop onto the back of each bootie construction! The bootie construction is the WAY OF THE FUTURE! No more fumbling around with the tongue that shifts left and right and tends to slip into the front of the shoe, before your foot! Bootie ROCKS! Looks as stylish as a traditional lace up but WITHOUT the shifting tongue to bother with! BUT! the BIG BUT: EACH BOOTIE SNEAKER NEEDS A PULL LOOP ON THE BACK! NEW Balance, please, already add the pull on loop on the back! Without the tongue and NO PULL LOOP -- you will need a shoe horn to put these on!!!

These are the cutest and most comfy tennis shoes!!!!! Bravo NB for creating them! They are kicky and fun and make me feel stylish! I have them in the white and tan too!

Fit great. Love the style!

These shoes are very cute!! I love the materials and the color. They fit like a glove. I have somewhat wide foot and ordered normal width. They worked well because the material is soft and it takes the shape of your foot. Still, they feel stable for running, I already ran on them. They have great cushion for longer runs as well. And I like the sticky soles. Im happy!

Beyond adorable and comfy. The color I think looks great with lots of fall/winter color combos!

Couldn't even get this shoe on -even in wide width. It's a slip on, laces are decorative.

Love the look and feel of these shoes, but they are impossible to get now that the tab on the heel has been removed from the design. I actually have to use a shoe horn to get these on. What the heck is a show horn you may be asking?” It’s a metal spoon that my great grandpa left behind. New Balance... please add the loop back on the heel. I’m just sad I bought these in two colors. Now I’m stuck w shoes that I have to struggle to get on.

I feel like these shoes ran small, I had to order up 1/2 a size. The left shoe on the outer ankle was higher than the right shoe and it rubbed my ankle bone. I thought maybe I was just being picky but I measured them and it was mm higher, causing it to rub. I ordered another pair in the same size in hopes of a good fit!!

I get so many compliments on these! They are great for everyday wear. They are fashionable! I love the leather details. I also love that NB offers 10.5!

It fits SO well and is SO comfortable on these over 70 year old feet! And don't look dowdy! Love them. They're keepers!

Super comfortable. Put them on and walked miles. Definitely a whole size larger than I usually wear.

The lack of arch support makes these difficult to walk in, but a nice casual shoe if you don’t intend to be too physical.

MY granddaughter wears a wide and these fit. would buy new balance again.

I loved the way these looked but the heel part comes up very high and rubbed my ankle and I had to return.

This shoe is very comfortable once it's on--the feel is more like wearing slippers as they do not offer strong support (which was fine for my needs.) I'm undecided how I feel about the look of them--the mesh front reminds me of a burlap sack and they are far from stylish. My biggest criticism with this shoe is that they are awful to put on--the tongue is completely stitched into the sides of the shoe so the only way to get them on is to fold down the back of then shoe to slip my foot inside. Once on, it's difficult to pull the flap back out. Because of this I can only wear these with thin socks (but then once I'm in the shoe, my foot swims inside.) I don't understand why they chose to stitch the tongue but then give the appearance of traditional shoelaces which are only for show in this case. I would not buy this style again.

first when i pulled them out of the box they are actually much more of a greener grey then the picture. then i attempted to put them on....and again .....and again...and again but i just love the style, but to no avail did that work. they are impossible to get on even with a shoe horn for anyone who has a higher arch.

Super comfortable casual tennis shoes.

Very comfortable and well-built shoe. The only challenge is that sometimes getting your foot to slide into the pre-fit hole can be tough as that area does not have any stretch to it...this might be the first sneaker to benefit from a shoehorn.

Got these as an alternative to Nike Frees. I like them a lot. Very similar to the Frees, hoping they hold up a bit longer than myNikes tend to.

Love these shoes! So very comfy!

I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT THESE AWESOME SLIP ON BOOTIE CONSTRUCTION SNEAKERS -- BUT THEY HAVE NO BACK LOOP! I absolutely love the new "bootie" construction sneakers! NO more fumbling with the tongue that tends to slip into the front of the shoes and shifts around for a frumpy look. The bootie construction is the way of the future: looks as stylish as a traditional lace up (only better) and is really a slip on! BUT!!! the BIG BUT: these REQUIRE a back loop to serve as a slip-on! Without the back pull loop -- you will need a shoe horn to put these on!!! Please , NEW BALANCE, make sure to add a pull loop onto the back of each bootie construction sneaker! Please.

I LOVE these. As other reviewers say, they aren't super easy to put on (you need both hands, they aren't slip-on), but that's OK––I'm not too old to bend down to put my shoes on yet! Super comfortable. Look a bit like Allbirds, but I prefer the design.

These shoes should seriously come with a shoe horn! I never though I would ever use one. It definitely made getting them on a lot easier. It took me a 1/2 hr to get them on without one and my fingers were sore afterwards. Once on the fit was perfect and are very comfortable.
