Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam Arishi v2

I've had fresh foam shoes before and loved them but these feel super cheap and flimsy

I ordered a regular and then a wide. With both, there was a small, hard section over my left foot. It felt like hard glue inside the fabric. The right foot was fine. I am normally a regular but since I felt that uncomfortable section, I ordered the wide, thinking it was just too narrow but that was not the culprit since it had the same issue. The style was nice and I liked how it wasn't white around the bottom (I ordered the one with black speckles) since that just gets dirty. Too bad I had to return them. The top of the shoe was very snug against my foot so there wasn't much room even though it seemed true to length. I am a 5.5.

I have a ges pairs of cushioned NB sneakers and they're very comfortable. These were not comfy at all. Can feel hard ground when walking. Not happy

They feel good but I cant stand a tongue that wont stay straight

They feel good but I cant stand a tongue that wont stay straight ...

I wish they were more sturdy, I have EDS and need sturdy shoes.

They really don't provide much cushion. Hurts the feet to wear. Sizing for other NB shoes doesn't transfer to these. The color was also not as shown. It looked like white trim on the black shoe but it's gold.

The size is in consistent. The width is not wide enough. The size 8 is .75 inches shorter than the size 7.5. I ended up donating the shoes to a woman's shelter

These shoes are very cheaply made and do not live up to New Balance standards in my opinion. They felt good on my feet but were coming apart in several places and I hadn't even worn them yet. I do not recommend these particular shoes.

Those are uncomfortable had to purchase extra support for them. Don't waste your money feeling you walking on rocks

I've worn many New Balance shoes and these ones actually cause me pain to even walk in. I don't know what the deal is.

Absolutely disappointed in this shoe, there is no support or cushion. Really sucks because I like the way the shoe looks.

Hurts the back of my ankle. Plan to return when I find my order number

These shoes do not work for me as a walking shoe. They offer zero support or cushioning.

Purchased these on line I wear a 8. Received size 8 didn't not fit, not even close. Apparently these are model 2 of the Arishi, my previous purchases were model 1. When I took them to a local New Balance store to return I was given a option that if I find something on line I like call the store and they will order a couple different sizes and call you when they come in. i could then go to the store and try them on to make sure they fit. What a headache and inconvenience. I really liked the Fresh Foam. Think I may go back to the other named brand shoe. Very disappointed.

I always buy New Balance. I am so disappointed in these shoes. They are so thin and cheap feeling.
