My husband has never gotten shoe bites from NB sneakers which he has worn in a size 15 for over 20 years as bad as he has this pair!!! So upsetting

I always wear a 12 4E NB. This runs a bit small and toe box is a bit narrow for me.
Too bad...was excited to get these.

The design looks good, but found the shoe to be uncomfortable. It has less cushion & support than my two year old NB. It also hurt the back of my heel so much that it was bloody after a long walk. It may get better with wear, but afraid to do so as the wound is still raw and painful.

These were nice looking and very light but they're an odd shape and felt very narrow for a New Balance EEEE. They were big enough but my big toe was pressing out the side. Exchanging for a different style.

General walking is fine, but the sides at the heel are cut too low and ride at bottom of ankle bone

OK for the price, but would not buy again. Had just bought a pair of 840"s and these were not even close. Of course, they were half the price, so I guess you get what you pay for. They look good though!

Although the shoe fits well and is comfortable, it was narrower than I expected for a 4E. (I usually wear 840v4 and they are very generous at 4E)
The color that I selected does not include the Gore-tex upper even though it was advertised as such, but I did confirm that the Black and Team Red version should have the Gore-tex.

These are the most uncomfortable NB shoes I've ever owned. Next to zero cushion and definitely not waterproof. Aftermarket insoles helped quite a bit , but for the initial cost, I expected better for such a big name runner

The toe box is really low and hits my big toe, very disappointing. I will try to size up.

New Balance is my favorite brand and has the most comfortable shoes. Arishi Trail GTX is the most uncomfortable shoe I purchased form New Balance. I wish I would have returned them.

Ordered my size, way too small. Went to order a size up and they did not have it. I had to return the shoes.

These shoes are very cheaply made, the tongue cushion made me bleed on first use. The inside does not feel comfortable, needs better insoles. Very, very disappointed with this purchase. I wouldn't be surprised if they only last a few months before they start falling apart, definitely not made for trail running!

I've had this pair of running shoes for a little over a month and they are already falling apart. The customer service 800 number is no use since no one answers it. I need to return he shoes but can't get anyone to answer the phone OR return an email. I'll keep trying though. Maybe I can take the shoes to a New Balance store for a return? I would not buy this shoe again.

These are great shoes for just normal daily use. However, every time I wear them to walk any great distance, I get a large blister in the middle of my foot. Not the best support for being on your feet for long periods.

As a big fan of New Balance road shoes, I was looking forward to my first trail running shoe from New Balance. Unfortunately, the Arishi Trail is pretty disappointing. The fit and finish is poor and, as a result, the shoe simply isn't comfortable for running. The lack of padding on the collar and tongue don't help.

These felt cheaply made. I ordered the 4E and they were tight for a 4 E. I expect a little more out of new balance in both regards.

I like a sport show that looks and feel like quality. I did not get that in the delivery.
The sole felt soless the over all shoe felt cheap and therefore I sent it back. I guess I expected the shoe to feel like the a quality shoe.

Toe box too small. I had to return them. I have a pair of NB golf shoes "4E" that are great but unfortunately these shoes were not the same fit.

These shoes look stylish and come in 4E width; I bought them for my husband for his birthday. Sadly, the toe box was narrow and weren't comfortable for him. I was very happy when I returned them using UPS and it didn't cost me any money.

Holy Cow! What a crock. There are NO WAY these are extra wide New Balance. These were obviously marked incorrectly. I have four other pair of new balance that are proper widths. These are a joke. I wear a size 13 4E and these are marked 14 extra wide and they choked my feet for an hour before decided to return them.

As I have wide feet, I have bought New Balance shoes forever. I liked the look of these so I figured I'd give them a shot. They dug in so much into my achilles tendon on my 1 walk with them. Rubbed off my skin completely. Returning ASAP.
