Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam Cross TR

Too short for a 9, I wear an 8.5 so need a half size bigger.

Beware: Runs EXTREMELY NARROW!!!

I ordered these in wide and they were disappointingly more narrow than my last pair of Fresh Foam cross trainers. I believe the "leather" trim where the laces begin (near the top of the toe box) does not allow the shoe to stretch much, even though the material can accommodate a wider width. I don't know if it is just bad luck or if NB shoes seem more narrow overall. This is the second pair of NB sneakers I have purchased where the width was much more narrow than their predecessors. I kept these, despite the width issue. I figured they would stretch out; they did but I would not repurchase this style. If you have wide feet, proceed with caution on this pair of cross trainers.

I first ordered a 6 1/2 wide and it was way to big overall, so I returned it and got a 6 wide and it was so tight that I could barely get my thin socked foot into the shoe. I did not feel like a wide at all. Sadly sending it back too.

I wanted to like these so much. I haven't had New Balance for years and years now - but remember them as cushy, supportive, and just like walking on clouds. These had good reviews, so I was so excited to receive these. Well...I have normally narrow feet, and these say they are M - but WOW, I felt like the shoes are so narrow, that they're actually painful to wear. There is no room in the toe box. I cannot use my separate insoles in these at all. The most surprising thing was, they feel like 9 1/2's, at least a half size smaller than my normal 10 - which I reliably wear in everything. Finally - the lack of any 'cushy' feeling, or even support made these absolutely horrendous. I really tried to wear these and they're just too painful. Sadly - I walked around outside in them, and cannot return them - my bad. So - I'm going to donate them, hoping someone can get use out of them. I'm completely turned off by the brand now, and have ordered some Hoka One's instead. Praying that they are what I'm looking for.

These were so cute but had to return because they were a full size too short. I ordered the 11. No way to wear any type of sock either - no room. Did not work for me.

I normally wear a size 8 1/2, but with any athletic shoe I size a half size up. The size 9 was tight and narrow, barely got my feet into them, I have other New Balance shoes in size 9 that fit perfectly. Very disappointed in this pair especially since they cost $119.00 On the plus side it is a nice looking shoe. Needless to say, they are being returned immediately. Not going to try a full size up since I don't think they would even fit.
