Customer Reviews New Balance 1540v3

I prefer my Hokas.

I'm so disappointed in these shoes! I haven't had them 3 months and there's a hole above my big toe! These are typically worn indoors, not rough on them at all. I can't believe I paid almost $170 for these. These shoes are not what they used to be.

Very heavy and runs small.

Did not fit well a little uncomfortable but a beautiful sneaker as far as style.

These shoes are hard as a rock. While there is some arch support, you'll still need orthotics if you have flat feet/fallen arches. For the price, I'm extremely disappointed. Too hard to be good walking shoes, particularly on pavement/concrete.

these were very narrow and tight in the toe, loose in the heel. Material felt stiff and cheap. Not comfortable and not much arch support. They went back.

the shoe seemed very hard on my feet. i have rheumatoid arthritis and i guess i need soft material shoes. i am sorry to be ordering so much in order to find the right shoes.

Loved the fit but I have a small bunion and it broke through the material in one week - on both pairs I own. The material should be stronger than this.

Not as comfortable as I thought

The style was nice but the sneaker did not have enough support for overpronation or for arches. The soles were hard and clicked on my hardwood floor when I walked.

Odd shoe. Laces too short. Tongue too short. Shoe oddly proportioned. Bummed. Bummed ? Going back.

Returning these. Feel Brooks is a better value and Brooks have better cushioning as well.

I ordered the Silver/Polaris in a 12D. Love the color combination. The shoes felt good on, the problem is the shoestrings are so short, I couldn't lace them up and tie them in order to walk around the house to see how they feel. I use all lace holes, including the top one, but even when I took the shoestrings out of the top hole, they were still so super short, I couldn't make a decent bow and knot. I agree with the other reviewers that commented on the short laces. What the heck, NB? Am also concerned as other reviewers too pointed out about wearing a hole in them. The material seems thin. Guess I'll never find out since there's not enough shoestring to tie the laces so I can wear them. For the price of this shoe, I had higher expectations.

These are being returned for several reasons: 1) The tongue is way too short. It doesn't even reach the last hole. When you walk the laces rub against your ankle since there's nothing there. 2) I use an insert to stiffen the sneaker due to arthritis. I use the insert on the older model and no problem. For this I could barely get it in the sneaker and 3) it's difficult to lace. The inside fabric doesn't line up with the outside fabric. I ordered 2 different NB styles and both are going back. It may be time to try a different brand.

The soles of these shoes are too hard. They are like walking on blocks. Plus the material feels very cheap. I'm looking for more 1080 Fresh Foams; they seem to be the only ones that have the cushioned soles that absorb impact, which I need. However, the latest 1080 v10 had a stitched in tongue that was too tight and hurt my instep. Please go back to earlier versions in different colors OR bring on v11.

These shoes made my knees turn inwards. They were not comfortable at all.
