Very light, breathable & comfortable right out of the box. The fresh foam sole feels slightly thinner than a pair of New Balance Kaymin Trail trail runners and nowhere as bombproof as the New Balance 910v2. Less cushion and underfoot protection but still a solid feeling shoe. They don't feel like they will last as long as the 910v2 but we're half the price... so just about right.

Never go the mall again. This was so easy and so perfect. My husband loved the shoes and he is walking everyday. No more sore feet

I wear a 15 4E so my shoe choices are limited. The rubberized coating on the sides of the shoes help keep my extra wide feet from ripping out the sides. The coating around the laces also keep me from ripping out the lace holes. The tread has great grip. I wear them to the gym and hiking. This shoe is very versatile and exceptionally durable. I am an Athletic Director and walk 5-15 miles per day. I also play a wide variety of team sports each week. These Arishi Trails are the best I have found. I have three pairs.

The fit and the size were perfect for me. I had my first run in these shoes yesterday and while it was only a mile and a half, these are the best running shoes I have ever had! I just bought another pair for when the first ones wear out.

Love these shoes! I purchased them for walking on sidewalks and trails, and I was especially looking for something lightweight and breathable for hot summer days. The mesh is not only very breathable, but there's reinforcement around the toes to prevent wearing holes in the mesh. I typically wear men's size 7, and these fit perfectly. Moderate arch, a little wider in the toe box and snug at the heel, which I find comfy, and moderately cushiony sole and insole. The cloudfoam isn't the softest, but I wasn't looking for that. These shoes offer a nice blend of cushion, flexibility, and support. They look great, too! The steel/stone blue looks the same in person as in the photo, and the lightweight materials offer a thinner, more sleek profile to the shoe. I'm really enjoying wearing these when I walk.

Was concerned about size, based on comments, but they fit extremely well. I am an 11D. Excellent cushion on heel and ball of foot. Always had good luck with New Balance and these are no exception.

I needed a new wide foot trail sneaker. Apparently, I had been slipping into the thick soled uncool NB styles as I got older (my son said my current sneakers were “ugly”) but I did not want to spend too much for a replacement. I saw this style, let my daughter choose the color (gray / black), dropped my orthotics into them and have been very pleased. Nice and comfortable for my flat brick shaped feet. Can’t say much about durability yet but I think I lucked out with these. I bought the regular non-trail version, too.

This a light sneaker and casual.
I wear the wide size shoe and NB is the best for me.

The tongue could be a little thicker to add cushion from the strings, and not fold over.

My husband was very happy with these and delighted at the light weight. I hope they will be warm enough for winter running; I would prefer not to have the mesh top if it was for me.

This model of New Balance runs small. I have owned dozens of NB and this is the only pair that I had to size up from 9.5 to 10. It is definitely a different last from the typical trail runner, but the GoreTex member saves my shoe from getting filled with sand when I run at the beach every day with my dog. And the price for a GoreTex running shoe is an amazing deal!

Keep in mind these are trail shoes not made for cement, so they won't have as much cushion as a road shoe, that's by design. The toe box is a bit bigger than a road shoe so keep that in mind, that is also by design, you need a bigger toe box when running on the trail. I bringing this up because I noticed a lot of comments from people using these shoes on cement floors, don't purchase by looks alone know what you're buying and what the shoes is designed for.

I like my new shoes (made in Vietnam). They sell for a fair price. I also like the free shipping. keep it up. I have purchased trail shoes in the past that were made in the USA for about the same price as foreign made. They are very comfortable and well designed. I would only suggest that you produce more in America.

The shoe feel comfortable. I chose 4E but does not feel that wide. The shoe does not seems to be reflective as many of other NB shoes. The Gore-Tex are good to keep my feel dry while running in the rain.
