Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam Tempo

Returned them. Poorly built shoe. Also made extremely wide.

Was so disappointed. The shoes arrived to me already dirty so I returned. Wasn't happy with the fit either.

Prior to wearing the tempo i wore zante pursuit. I loved the zante shoe but learned that they are discontinued. Looked on internet to see which new balance would be comparable and i read the tempo was. The tempo shoe is not as comfortable as zante. My feet hurt in them after workouts.running and standing on feet all day. The toe box is wide even though i purchased the standard size. Wish they still made the zante pursuit

Somehow these shoes push your feet to the front of the shoe and the toe box has construction around it that is extremely uncomfortable. I returned mine immediately upon putting them on. Very bad shoe design.

So I really want New Balance to read this review because I love NB shoes and they are almost all that I wear when running. I wanted to love these shoes but the toe area is the worst of anything. They not only run short but the shoe pushes my feet into the toe box. The toe box is so low that my toes cannot move. The wrap around the toe box seems to make them uncomfortable. I love the NB shoes that are free feeling and these are not those. Please NB, Please give us shoes with more toe room meaning not only around which many of them are fine, but also from top to bottom. If there is insufficient toe room, runners feet fall asleep or it hinders our ability to move freely and naturally.

I've always worn a size 7.5 shoe in NB, and these ran just slightly small or tight. I wore them for running, and my toes were always a little pressed against the front. My biggest issue with the shoe, though, is the sole almost completely wore through in only 1.5 months. I bought them early June, and by mid-July, all the tread in the sole was gone ... lasting not even 175 miles of walking/running. Highly disappointed in the quality of this shoe compared to other NB shoes I've owned.

Sole Dropping - Erosive Sole - Poor-Quality for such a price! I bought a New Balance (WIMPO 9) sneaker in Lisbon, at New Balance shop, for about 91 euros. But the sole is already loosening. It is crumbling all over the room. It was supposed to be a running shoe but you can't take a walk on the treadmill without crumbling the sole. I contacted the manager and the seller Laryssa Santos in person at the physical store, as she refused to answer the emails with the photos of it but even though after going to the physical store with the product and its pieces today, the return from her was it was my problem as in her opinion no one made a complaint of the product before and I supposed not walk with the shoes made for walking in a treadmill, even though she advised me this product was made to walk on treadmil before. Poor-quality for such a price. I would never recommend it to anyone. Here goes the picture of it and the complaint form I filled out personally at store after being advised she would do nothing about it and was also advised by her that if I leave a review on online of it I could be sued for defamation. I do not have problems or anything to hide from anyone as I have the product, the invoice, the pictures, emails and the complaint form. It is my review with the pictures of it.

The look of this running shoe is great, but it doesn't provide enough arch support or overall stability. I will use it for walks with my dog, but not for running or climbing stairs in a workout.
