Customer Reviews New Balance FuelCore NERGIZE

These run way small. I ordered my size and a half size up, and I still couldn’t really comment on the comfort, etc of the shoe. The portion of the shoe over your toes is very low. Pink blush is a cute color.

These shoes are nice looking, but they are not nice feeling. Even though I ordered a half size larger than normal, they were still too short. The attached tongue is a problem. I only wear New Balance sports shoes but I am disappointed in New Balance sizing, not only on this shoe but also on other styles I have ordered. Maybe we need to have more American made shoes for a better quality!

I wanted to love these shoes. They were very comfortable when I first put them on. Unfortunately, the heel was so loose that it was nearly slipping off in the back, even with the laces tied as tightly as I could get them. When I tried them on with ankle socks, the socks scrunched down all the way to my arches within a couple of minutes of walking around the house. I do not have narrow ankles, BTW. I would describe my ankles as cankles, so I know these should be smaller in that area. One other thing I didn't like was the reinforced toe. Inside the shoe at the toes there's a piece of tough material that appears to be a reinforcement so your toenails don't poke holes in the uppers, but I felt like my toenails were snagging on it, right through my socks. Also, the fabric of the upper looks like mesh but it feels more like one of those scrubby plastic sponges that resembles steel wool. Maybe not as rough, but definitely not soft to the touch. And it isn't really stretchy either. Like I said, these shoes are very comfortable when you first put them on, but they don't pass the test beyond comfort. If you have flatter feet like mine, then you will appreciate the lack of a raised arch in these shoes. Thanks, New Balance, but I'll keep looking for new sneakers.

I wish it fit but felt too tight across the top of my foot.

width and length was true to fit. I have high arches and this shoe doesn't feel like it has any arch support

I have really wide feet. I got these in wide and a half size up as some reviews mentioned. I really like the way they look and they feel very light on my feet. However, my feet still go over the soles of the shoe on the inner sides. The side material is comfy and stretch to the width of my feet but the soles are still too narrow, comparatively. I definitely would not recommend doing anything other than walking in these shoes.

It felt like the arch was cut too narrow so all I could feel was the edge of the liner when I walked. I have average to narrow feet.

The shoe looked nice and would have felt comfortable if it would have fit well. Due to the reviews, I ordered a half size larger than my normal, and my toes were right at the top of the shoe. I also prefer a wider toe box, so I didn’t bother trying the next half size up. So if you are ordering these shows, you’ll likely need a full size up from your normal.

Love the look. Just not the support I needed.

These are cute but they get dirty very easily. I just walked into the yard and got grass stains on both shoes. Because the fabric is textured, I couldn’t rub the stains at all. I don’t really want casual shoes that I’m afraid to wear in the yard.

These looked nice and are very light. With long toes and long arches, I am usually a 12 in athletic shoes (12 Brooks Levitate). These were too short in the toe box. My big toe and my larger foot was touching the end of the shoe before I even stood up.

Let me preface this with I have very hard to fit feet. These fit and don't hurt but I feel like the side of my foot is hanging over. I am keeping these because I needed shoes desperately when I got them. They will probably become yard shoes quickly when I find a replacement. They are not very good for working out in which is my main reason to get them. Compared to New Balance that I have had in the past, these feel cheap and flimsy.
