Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam Vongo v4

Very comfortable walked yesterday and felt amazing. I have W feet, always wear a W in Naturalizer, Cole Hann etc. These shoes are comfy, I have bunions from heels every day and this did not rub.

Great fit, a lot of stability, overall good running shoe. I’ve been running in them for about a week now, and think they are going to workout great. Recommend your normal running shoe size, which for me is a half size larger than my regular shoe size.

They fit great and I really feel like my feet are secure when I'm wearing these; not like past pairs of running shoes I've owned that my heel felt like it was going to slip out of the shoe. I wear these for running 4+ miles 5 times a week and have flat feet.

I have been wearing new balance for years, and I like the fresh foam running shoes - the fact that they come in wide is a huge plus for me. However, these 7.5 shoes are about a half size longer than the 1080v9 fresh foam new balance and a half size longer then they should be. Width good and everything else about the comfort is excellent . There is not much arch support if you need that.

I love having no tongue in the shoe, that is a really nice feature! The arch supports are not supportive enough, and there isn’t enough padding in the footbed. In addition, Top edges of shoes rub my ankles. I have to send them back.

I thought the shoe was fine, accept 1 thing--the sock-like features that lines the top of the shoe. Unless you have crew length socks, the fabric would rub against my ankles. I understand they were trying to create a more comfortable sock-like feel, but it felt too bottom heavy for this style, and made it feel like my shoe would slip off my heels. There definitely is great cushion and support but the design on the top made it feel like the shoe was going to fall off my foot, like it needed more support or structure on the top. I hate to return this because it really was a comfortable shoe, I just think there was a design flaw choice with the upper sock features.

Loved the feel of the shoe, love the support, but I hate the “sock” around the ankle. Some of us who use these shoes for other than running, will run in to problems if one’s ankle swells due to water retention or standing for a long period.

These shoes are very comfortable and light weight with the knitted material, but they have no lateral stabilization at the forefoot so I cannot wear them. Had to return.

Liked this shoe a lot and it felt like it had excellent arch support which is very important to me but I found the sock-like collar uncomfortable. It was also a little difficult to put on because of the collar. I am 77 years old and with arthritic hands and feet, I need simple not complicated.

the shoe seemed fine and comfy but after wearing them for awhile my arch/instep began to bother me like a burn i widened the laces the next time i do have issues with arthritis but the reg new balance doesnit usually bother me

I have to return the vongo because the insole cushion is not comfortable to me. My feet need maximum cushioning...

These were listed as a stability shoe but the back heel doesn’t sit flat but rather seems to encourage supination. I’m used to Hoka One Ones. Returning.

This is a very strange sneaker. It comes with a built in sock vs a tongue so you can't adjust the opening. The built in sock is tight and uncomfortable

Cute style, but the tight hugging ankle was too tight to be comfortable. Returning.

LOVE these sneakers. They’ve held up well and are incredibly light. I’ll definitely buy another pair when needed.

Like them, at first I didn’t think I would but now I do !!!

The size and fit are good. I don’t notice that there wasn’t a regular tongue like in most shoes. But I was surprised how much I like it.

They’re different because of the tongue it’s like a another sock but it’s kind of helpful keeping your foot in the shoe

Excellent shoes.

Very comfortable. Fit well. Great support.

I love this shoe! The low drop is so very helpful for my plantar fasciitis. I have pain if I wear other types of athletic shoes and this one seems to stretch that tendon out and keep me from having pain. It is incredible. I like the looks of the shoe too. I just bought another color of it before I can't get it anymore. I haven't tried the next version that is out because it does not look like it will be as good and I don't. like those colors. This one is awesome. I wish they would keep making it.

Very comfortable shoes! These shoes have a great arch support and I enjoy wearing them when I expect to be on my feet walking all day.

Bought these for my daughter to wear for boxing class. She says they are light weight but with a well-cushioned sole---exactly what she was hoping for. They fit true to size.

This shoe is very comfortable both for arch support and for over pronation. However after only 1.5 months, the toe of the shoe is already coming apart.

Good fit for me 10D. Softer inner fabric inside-and- above the heel for easy slip on with just a little help sometimes. I bought one pair for outside. A few months later I bought the exact same shoe to wear indoors in place of a slipper yet providing the support the podiatrist says I need. This shoe is designed for those who pronate and it works amazingly well for me. Thank you New Balance.
