Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam Cruz v2 Decon

These are very lightweight. I love how they look!

Love this show, bought 2!!

Like other reviewers have said- this shoe can be difficult to get on—-however, once on- this shoe is INSANELY comfortable with zero break in time necessary. I’m usually an 8 in new balance and purchased this in an 8 wide. Fits absolutely perfect. Shoe design would benefit from a heal pull tab, but other than that they are perfect.

I absolutely love the feel and style of these running shoes! I highly recommend them!

I’ve been a Nike purchaser my whole life. Recently started buying New Balance and I love them! These shoes are so comfortable and stylish at the same time!!!

The challenge is the tongue and fact it is not a tongue - so very hard to get on. Once on, I loved them, but not worth the hassle every time I want to wear. Returning

These shoes were cute for a walking around shoe, and seem well made. I liked that the material was stretchy - if your feet swell or spread out a bit during a long day of standing and walking, this would be a great feature. Sadly, they didn't fit. My feet are on the wide side of normal, and these just felt a bit wobbly, made worse by a lack of arch support. I over-pronate and these felt like they had more support at the outsides of the feet than the insides - maybe this was also a width issue. The back seemed comfy, I had been a bit worried it would dig into my ankle, but it didn't seem to (did not test with walking, though). For someone else, these might be a great shoe. For me, they didn't quite work out. As always, the Zappos return policy is great!

Rubs a bit on my Achilles, but overall I like them. Comfy shoes.

This is a stylish sneaker that I’m comfortable wearing with both jeans and leggings. I wouldn’t recommend playing sports in these or even running, but they are a comfortable walking-around, running-errands type shoe. Love the light beige-y color and the textured material on the toe. I’ll wear these for a while.

Loved the color and slip on style. It was quite hard to get on- shoe hire is a MUST. But they had to go back because ankle collar was too high and cut into anckle bone. Was a gift for my mother, she couldn’t wear comfortably.

I ordered a half size up due to previous reviews. I definitely didn’t need to, my regular size would have fit perfectly. However previous comments about the shoes being difficult to get on are very accurate, it might be good that they’re a little big because I think it makes it a little easier to get them on. The color is beautiful, they are comfortable once on, and super cute.

They are difficult to put on... tight on the heels. But once they are on they’re good. Cute

Nice shoe but a half a size too small. 95% of the time, I am an 8.5 in all shoes but these seem to run a tad small. Had to get the 9. Super cute and comfy.

My foot runs narrow and this shoe is definitely wide in the toe box. They were cute, sorry I had to return them.

I thought I'd be able to deal with the lack of heel pull.... I was wrong - major design flaw. They were also overly roomy in the toe box, feeling sloppy once I did get them on

Bought these because I loved the way they looked on my trainer at the gym - but when I tried them on I didn’t think they were particularly comfortable or supportive, so sadly they’re going back.

I love the color and style of these shoes! However, wearing this style doesn't work for me. I had difficulty getting the shoe on (had to use a shoe horn) when I was wearing my athletic socks. Without the socks, they felt too roomy and the edge of heel fabric cut into my ankle bone. It's an attractive style which is not comfortable for me. I was so hoping for something a bit more stylish than my shelf full of Asics in the traditional look.

My daughter loved these shoes however, once they arrived in her correct size she had an extremely hard time getting them on and then they were way too tight.

Loved the way they look and I didn’t have trouble getting them on and off but they rubbed my heels horribly so they had to go back.

Disappointed to have to return these attractive shoes! Extremely difficult to even get them on, once on they feel great but no arch support whatsoever.

These fit VERY small. I’m normally a size 10.5 and I ordered size 11 and they fit me like 10s.

If you have a high arch, don't get these shoes! As cute as they are, they are almost impossible to get on. Once on they were very comfortable and I love them. However, I cannot stand to spend 10 minutes pushing and shoving and trying to use a shoehorn to get them on. Very sad, I will be returning them.

I really wanted to love this shoe and I've worn it several times now, unfortunately this shoe is now in my "to be donated pile." It's challenging to get on--there is a shoelace but the front panel is sewed on so it is just for show. You definitely need a shoe horn to get it on since that means the backside of the shoe bends in with your foot everytime. Once I'm in, the shoe is big and sloppy. My feet slide around on the inside--there is no support at all. And although it looked cute in the photo, in person it looks like a sloppy sweater on my foot. Not for me.

not a very attractive shoe. Feels hard and uncomfortable.

Loved the shoe, but could not even get my foot in it since it comes up high on the top of the foot.
