I had a pair of these that fit well. This pair was a bit snug and are taking longer to break in.

It fit well. The sole is a soft material that wears fast.

I love the color and mesh top. I felt the heels did not provide the support I needed for running. When I tried them for the first time, I felt the soles were not even. It feels like one heel is higher than the other when I tried them on. I went to the gym and tried them out and determined they are great for walking and lesiure wear but not for high performance.
I ordered my regular size 10 and felt if I ordered.5 up they would be too big and heel would not be supported. I will probably use these as part of my rotation for recovery workouts. They handled weight floor workouts fine and power moves but not treadmill runs- felt very flat and lacking in arch/heel support.

I was hoping there was more cushion and they are kinda ugly. Would have preferred one color.

I own multiple pairs if this shoe, these are made much smaller/ tighter. They are not the same fit as the styles from last year.

My son has the same shoes, size 7 that are getting to small, so I ordered size 7and 1/2.
When they arrived he couldn't even fit his foot into the shoe- it was smaller than his current pair!

The shoes WERE to be EE width, size 10.5. They are a bit small for 10.5, BUT MUCH TOO NARROW to be considered anything near 2E. Finally, upper is made of very cheap looking material.

Cute but so uncomfortable. The tongue is one piece with the upper shoe and there's no way to loosen it and it's way too tight after about 15 minutes of wearing. Also, didn't feel there was enough cushion in the heel and toe area on the bottom. The toe box area was generous in size. Unfortunately, had to return.

I bought the Fresh Foam roav. Love the way they look and they are extremely comfortable but, I bought the black/grey and just over 2 months I started to get a hole in both shoes right where the tip of your big toe is. This is the mesh part. Very very disappointed . I have 2 others who I know with this same issue. If this problem was fixed it would be the best shoe ever but extremely disappointed especially since they cost around $80

This my 4th pair of the foam roav they have been my go to for sometime. I was excited to get this new pair and was surprised I could barely get them on. Ordered my usual 6 1/2 and they fit more like a 5 1/2- it was almost like they were designed to wear without a sock they were so tight.

Super cute but too small and the ankle area is too high and dug into my skin.

Too tight even though I ordered a wide. Had to give to my mom because I didn't want to go through return process during the holidays.

Within two weeks of wearing these, the piece of fabrics the eyelets are on began to tear away from the main part of the shoe. I had bought two pair and the literal first time I tied them up, the same piece of fabric pulled away again. Hard for me to recommend when two pair had the same exact issue that made the shoes unwearable almost immediately.

The changes made across the instep that ties the tongue to the shoe side makes it very difficult to slip on.
Won't buy this particular shoe again

I wanted to like these NB but the show was too short, with a tiny thin sock my toes were just about touching the front of the sneaker. There didn't feel like much cushion and support and sadly returned.
Fit reference I have a thin foot and ankle area very thin, wear 7.5 but usually sizes up to an 8, and this was an 8 that I returned.

I ordered what I thought was a 3e and only got a wide. There’s no way these are wide shoes.

I have been a size 9 in this shoe before and is other NB shoes. The pair I received is too small and tight. This shoe fits different than the pair of Roav's I have now so I am returning them.

I WEAR SIZE 9.5 & of course ordered 9.5 and have never had a pair of shoes not fit. These run very small, now I have to pay to return for buying my normal size. Not Right!!!

The fit was fine, but the shoes were lopsided and bent my son’s feet unnaturally. He walked around bow-legged. I can’t tell if they were defective or if they were designed that way.

Bought these thinking they were Fresh Foam x860s. So disappointed to learn they have been discontinued. I have arthritis in my foot & those were by far the most comfortable shoes!
