Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam Roav

I purchased these for a dedicated gym shoe. The material is quite rigid but breathable. The sole does not come with much cushion. Though the bottom is a solid foam, it's rigid. I was hoping for more comfort in that area. I purchased my exact size (not up or down) and it fits. However, the body of the shoe is constructed from just two pieces and the lacing system isn't meant to snug the material together so there is tightness in areas I don't prefer.

Says shoe cups your heel nicely. I feel like it's more for a narrow foot. Which I have. However this runs small. I ordered 8.5, my size, and it was too small. I would definitely order half a size up.

Great comfort, fit, support and weight. Unfortunately, they didn't prevent recurring shin splint pain from a slightly fast walk within 2 miles. I ensured I was pain free having rested for several weeks before trying these, but the shin splint pain returned toward the end of my first walk unfortunately. I'm struggling to find walking shoes that will do so and looks like I need to focus more on elliptical instead and continue to work my calf muscles...hope this helps others.

Very comfortable shoe for every day wearing. Runs big, normally wear an 8 but if purchased again I would go with a 7 1/2.

I ALWAYS ORDERED 2E BUT THIS IS TIGHT ON MY BIG TOE.

I love the look of these shoes but they aren't as functional as I hoped for training. The laces continually come untied and the shoe just doesn't bend with your foot in lunges. Still like the look but I'll need a different shoe for the gym.

love the look of the shoe!!! Sizing is small I will have to return

Use for walking. Heal construction difficult to put on.

I would love to keep these super cute shoes but they are about a half size too small.

I am having problems with my heel (heel pain) so it's not the shoe itself. They felt good at first but soon started bothering my heel, didn't cushion my heel enough.

Bought these to try out instead of the Fresh Foam 1080 V10. Not nearly as good. The front of the foot is too wide (I have very narrow feet) and not enough padding in the sole. They're a bit cheaper than the Fresh Foam so this is all understandable.

I absolutely love my shoes and so comfortable for someone who is on my feet 12-14 hours a day my only negative feedback is that the sole of one of my shoes started coming off after one month of getting them

Not a great fit for me. The arch support was less than I've come to expect from a running shoe, and the sole was less cushion-y than I hoped. Perhaps the latter point would resolve itself after a break-in period.

This is the third pair of Roav I've purchased. These newer ones are cut smaller and are much less comfortable or easy to slide into. The elastic band over the foot is crazy tight, Love this style of shoes but this pair is not worth it. Really frustrating.

Love the way these shoes look but aren't very comfortable. Be prepared to buy insoles. Runs small- I'm a size 10 but these fit more like a 9.

I have these in black and love them. Very comfortable. I ordered another pair in the multi black and vivid coral. They seemed to have run completely different (larger) than the pair I have. Had to return..may have to order the black again.

Shoes were a good to a full size smaller than usual.

They run a little large and have NO arch support. Not impressed

I love the look and the fit of these shoes, and the color is perfect with nearly everything. However, the joy is spoiled by the thin upper fabric for two reasons. It is so thin, that it has already worn through from the under side and now appears to be dark soil spot under the mesh surface. Secondly, the fabric is not washable, so I guess that any future soil will just be there to be endured or the shoes abandoned. If only......

I had a pair of these before and liked them because they were a firm outsole. These feel very soft even compared to my old ones. Also, I thought they were very narrow for a D width compared to my other NB shoes.

good quality and very cute but they run very small

I bought this shoe for work. It is very comfortable, however the mesh on the toe is so breathable it was let's all of the cold air right in. I ended up giving them to my son as workout shoes which he loves them for. I just wish they disclosed that it is a summer shoe

Shoes are okay, seem to not be very breathable- my feet were smelly within a few days of wearing them. (I have not had this problem with other shoes.) the color I received did not look like what was in the picture online, however after doing lots of research and looking on other websites with different pictures, the name and color matched up. Online they looked grey but are tan in person.

I bought these for running/cardio/HIIT- they are super comfortable but they are only a slip on shoe so there is no way to adjust the tightness of the heel by switching the shoe strings around. I have had to find thicker socks to wear which negates the fact of the 7.5 size rather than a 7 because the thick sock takes up space at the toes. I wish I would have known this was a slip on shoe, not tie.

The shoe is high quality and all I expect from New Balance. The online description of the colors led me to think they were a soft gray and dark gray combination. They would be a beautiful shoe if they were, but tan just looked bad with the gray.
