Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam More

Love these!!

Runs small. Not wide in the toes, just wide in the heel. If you are considering Altras... go that route. I usually wear 7.5W-8W and 7.5W was much too small.

These were lightweight and comfy

Are these shoes the most attractive stylish pair you could own? No. Are they amazingly comfortable? Yes! At this stage of my life, comfort overrules fashion. Just returned from a Disney World vacation where we averaged 10 miles per day. My feet felt great! Normally my feet would be sore from all the standing/walking. I would limp out of bed each morning and wait for the ibuprofen to kick in. Not on this trip! I kept remarking to my husband that I couldn’t believe how great these shoes were. I came home and purchased a second pair. (Because now that I found these and love them, they will probably be discontinued)

I have worn New Balance for many years as a work shoe at my job as a nurse. I particularly liked this shoe for the wide toe box needed for one of my feet. The soft material is quite comfortable as I have a bunion. I wear orthotics and they are somewhat difficult to use with this shoe because the arch area of the shoe is narrow. The shoes always "squeeked" even when I put powder in them before inserting the orthotics. All in all, they were satisfactory, but not the most comfortable shoe if you are on your feet for long periods of time. The two issues I have with the shoe are very little tread on the shoe making it easier to slip on wet floors and when washed the material shrinks considerably. After washing I left them in the sun to dry and they still shrank to the point where they were too painful to wear and I had to buy another pair of shoes.

Sadly, I can't give these shoes a '0' star rating. They really are that bad for me, and I just gave them away after walking in them 3 times for a couple miles each time (daily power walker). I have LOVED New Balance shoes for years, so this was a huge disappointment. I expected 'foam' construction meant even better cushioning (for my 68 year old knee and hip joints), but the foam is so rigid you can hear the heel strike on the pavement! Good grief, I could hardly stand I was so stiff after the first walk in these things. Still, I thought they were cute and different from my white leather models, so I gave them a few more miles and a couple more of my walks before telling Hubby the shoes would have to go. I ordered my usual size, 6.5W, but they didn't feel wide at all through the instep...hard to get my foot down in them, although they were comfortable enough once they were on (mesh upper gives a bit). But that sole...egad! Felt like I might as well have put on forged steel horseshoes! Strongly suggest New Balance discontinue any inference that this foam sole construction gives cushioning!

The inside of the shoe had a spot that rubbed blisters on the top of my foot after wearing once.

Reordered a half size up for a perfect fit of a perfect shoe. Love the sole! Gives me the cushion from hard floors that I need. I normally wear a size 6.5 in New Balance shoes, but I had to go up to size 7 to gain the length that my toes needed in this style. Thank you, again, New Balance!

This has been a great running shoe for me. I am currently training for my first marathon and while I’ve been running in New Balance forever, this shoe has been the most comfortable and best at helping my body take all the long mile runs.

I call these my Pink Cloud Marshmallow shoes. They are ridiculously comfortable. They were a gift to myself for finishing the C25K program. What surprised me most is that I walk and run faster in them without trying. Must be all that bouncy sole!

Very happy with the shoes.

I LOVE these shoes! Here's why. We rescued two adult border collies on March 13th ... right before California pretty much closed down. The dogs are young and incredibly energetic and need tons of exercise every day ... well, on April 1st, all parks were closed in our county, including our local dog park. SO ... I am walking the dogs up to two hours a day, trying to keep them from driving me up the wall. I have no cartilage in one ankle because of an old, very serious break in my 20s that required surgery. When I first started walking the dogs, the pounding on pavement that my feet were enduring was so intense that my ankle pain was really acting up. I sometimes had to get up in the middle of the night to take painkiller just so I could sleep! Then, these shoes arrived. They have saved my life. They are springy and comfortable and have almost eradicated my ankle pain. I, and my dogs, thank New Balance and Zappos! As for fit, I had worn New Balance shoes before so I was pretty sure they would fit me well, and they did.

I got these sneakers for my mom..and she loveeeee them so much..

love these shoes

Love these sneakers. I already owned one pair and purchased 2 more in case they do making this model. Great for comfort and stability. Try them... you'll be happy!

This is a great shoe for my messed up feet. I am 51 and after decades of running, have arthritis on the tops of my feet. I also need orthotics. These shoes--while they do slant your foot out (as others have mentioned) just feel amazing. I also can put my orthotics in them.

I need a different insert no matter what shoes I wear. When I put them in these shoes, they are perfect. I’m walking on cloud 9 now! I purchased more than one pair since shoe manufacturers change versions a lot without warning.

I am not using an arch support insole that I have and so far, so good. I had worn a different brand shoe and my legs, hips and feet feel much better now that I have returned to New Balance.

Got these yesterday and wore them to Jazzercise today! They feel great! I have a wide foot and got the wide size on these. Very happy so far. They were very comfortable and springy. These are definitely competition for my usual's, Hoka One One's!

just got them and loved how they look color/ style etc. cool to have fashionable wider shoes! excited to wear!

Love it

Extremely comfortable right out of the box. Great arch support and WW width is wonderful.

These are great shoes with a lot of support and a lot of cushion. I need both and it’s hard to find both. I have narrow feet and they fit fine but I’m sure a medium width foot would be good too. I put an arch support in them but I have flat feet. They are super comfortable and cute too. It’s really hard for me to find comfortable tennis shoes because of many foot problems. These are it!! I bought two pair in different colors but I love the blue the most.

Wonderful! I'm thrilled to pieces. Right out the box, these fit well and feel great to walk in. Such a cute design. I might need a back up pair!

A fabulous running shoe! The Foamcore is the first really innovative thing NB has come up with in a while. My problem is not with NB. The 7EE was too short...the 7.5EE too long. My husband says "why don't you just wear the box?"
