Customer Reviews New Balance FuelCore NERGIZE

2 sizes too small!

I really wanted to love this shoe. I love my NB sneakers because they're great for narrow feet. I need a great pair of shoes for my workouts in the gym and outside the gym. I was hoping these would be the ones. They are super cute but once on they are not "narrow enough" so when I lace them up the tongue (which is attached to the shoe) folds/buckled and puts random uncomfortable pressure on the top of my foot. I ended up giving them to my mother in law.

Foot bed is not thick enough. Not comfortable after 3/4 hours..js

I like the shoes. They are comfortable. However I don't feel they are anywheres near the quality I've come to expect from New Balance. They seem quite pricey for what they are.

So I placed at least 3 orders of New Balances in womens hoping to get the right fit. They stop at size 11 so I ordered mens. They looked extremely long and the quality wasn't there. I didnot feel confident in the material, the support wasn't there also I questioned how would I clean them.

Use for city walking (brisk pace), sometimes elliptical use. Issues with laces which never stay tight.My all black ones are tighter in the toe box.

The material was less quality than expected. The shoes runs small.

I ordered a 91/2 D - typically I'm a 9D, but these fit exactly right - I'd love a tiny bit more width. The support doesn't feel like it's enough for exercise - more just around the house. There's nothing to protect toes from popping through the end after a bit of wear, which is what is happening to my current shoes. I don't love them. They're fine but I really wanted shoes for cardio workouts.

New Balance did great with the design of these shoes. They look great in all the color combos they released. I love that they're low key and not crazy neon colors that aren't practical for street wear. I needed new cross trainers to replace my 711's that were worn down. These feel amazing on your feet when you slip them on but I don't find them greatly supportive. They're okay for my 30 minute workout and for wearing around the office but if I know I'm going to be walking a lot - festival or running around a city - I opt for something that won't make my feel feel tired at the end of the day. They do run small. I'm a 9/9.5 in most shoes. I got ann10 in these. If I would have gone with the 9.5, my toes would have been jamming into the front during HIIT workouts. Another thing worth mentioning is the grip. These are fine on asphalt and on gym floor but I've worn these on road trips and during the fast-food-restaurant-restroom-pit stops I always notice that I can barely grip the floor. I'm literally sliding around. Same goes for damp or wet concrete, especially the kind with the little pebbles in it. I would love a little more structure to this shoe to make it more usable for all day, heavy foot travel days.

I tried these on at home and they seemed to fit. I went on a walk outdoors and the heel cup does not fit well my heels slip up and down. Also it seems that my foot slides in the shoe and my toes are squished inside. There is good cushion.

Wanted to love this shoe. Lots of support, light for zumba, but the fit was too small. I had to return, and am cautious about ordering the next size up. This is a disappointment, as NEW BALANCE shoes always fit so well.

Shoe runs short. Order half size up. Otherwise good looking shoes.

I'd buy 1/2 bigger. A bit wide but short in toe area . If that was fixed great shoe.

I loved the look of the shoes but I had two down falls. They run small and fit too tight to wear even thin socks. I suggest getting a size or is size and half bigger

Run small especially in toe area (thickness) from sole to top, disappointed

I should have read the reviews before ordering... I have 4 other pair of NB shoes that are all size 8.5. These are AT LEAST a half size too small. Maybe a full size with socks. Super comfy and look great otherwise. Luckily I have a factory store nearby where I can return them. Otherwise I would be upset about return shipping.

I love the look of the shoe and am disappointed it did not specify a bare foot fit. I would go a size larger and wear socks (do not like running w/out) but due to the way they are made, sock slides down into heel of shoe.
