Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam Arishi v2

I absolutely love these sneakers. I trusted reviews and went up a half size, as they run a little short, and they were a perfect fit. My feet are between medium and wide width. I bought the wide and they are very comfortable, no "break in" necessary.

I love these sneakers! I got them in the dragon fruit color and they are super cute. Many reviews have mentioned them not being supportive but they are quite comfortable on my feet. Maybe it just depends on the shape of your foot? Not sure, but I think they’re great.

This is a beautiful and sleek very classy looking black shoe. The N logo is outlined in a soft gold and there are metallic gold splatters on the black "sidewalls." The shoe fits me as all my NB's, which is 3 half sizes larger than my regular shoe shoes. These do not give your feet a bulky look at all. So love the look! The shoe is very comfortable but there is no, as in NO, arch support. They are like walking in my old style grade school Keds--totally flat flat flat. Did I mention there is no arch support? I think I have the beginnings of a plantar issue, as I do have soreness. So my guess is I should only do considerable walking in a shoe with good arch support and will be returning these super good looking NB's.

After having foot surgery in May, I wasn't quite sure what shoe to get. The NB Fresh Foam Arishi v2 is a wonderful recovery shoe as well as being a regular shoe. I was able to go back into the classroom last month comfortable and stable. And.....I actually wore the same style and size before my surgery. What a plus to find it on sale.

I have severe rheumatoid arthritis and have had 5 surgeries so I need to find comfy shoes without seams over the toes. I usually wear 8 1/2 medium but I have the Arishi in another color in 8 1/2 medium but they feel a bit short in the toes so got this new pair in size 9 medium and they work much better. The insoles are removable to add my custom orthotics. These will work great for me! I got the Thunder/Light Aluminum color and they will look cute with blue jeans.

I love my new shoes they are squishy and fit great. I think the shoes are pretty awesome and don't cause my feet to hurt after wearing them all day.

I ordered a 9 wide and I can wear these all day without a problem. I really don't like shoes with white soles and wanted something I could wear to work that went with my school's colors (high school science teacher). As a Type 1 diabetic I highly recommend these since they are very comfortable and don't rub my feet. I definitely would purchase again especially for the price.

Great summer tennis shoe! I plan on using these shoes to just walk around town in. They aren't very supportive for a long run. But I know they'll work well for every-day-wear-arounds. I got the Light Cyclone/Sea Salt color and I love it for summer. Not a totally white shoe, but still looks great with white, light blue, and navy t-shirts and tank tops. Also, just want to give a great big thank you, Zappos, for your great customer service!

Very nice fit and light weight

Very cute and stylish for a running shoe. I wear them for aerobic dance. They have almost no cushy, bouncy padding in the sole, so they work for a one hour aerobic dance class but I wouldn’t choose them as an all day shoe.

Love these shoes. They are lightweight and very comfortable - don’t feel like taking them off. The color – gray/guava - is very nice.

Loved these shoes. Really light weight. No blisters, perfect fit.

This style shoe does run a half size smaller. Love the comfort of this shoe!
