Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam Tempo

These are very comfy running shoes. I need shoes with good support for running. I have regular feet, and some shoes are constructed for high arches. These are not and therefore fit me like a glove. Light weight too!

I love the style and look of the shoe. Not sure I like it for running though.

They are fine sneakers, I suspect. I personally think NB is a good brand so I'm sure these would make someone happy. And the colors aren't terrible. The Navy could be a lot cuter, tho. Looks good on screen but not so much in person. However (!!) If you've owned/ tried on any other NB sneakers... Specifically 860 & up.. these are no where close in comparison. These do not have the same "fresh foam" as their higher-priced counterparts have. Or.. actually, ANY foam at all. So - the name of these shoes is deceiving. I should have known given the price is significantly less than, say, the 880s. But I also thought NB had made improvements over the years to increase "foam" amounts in all their shoes. <-- this is wrong. They did not.

I liked the style, yet the 8.5 Wide was not wide at all. When I put them bottom to bottom against my New Balance Fresh Foam 8.5 wides purchased from you 14 months ago, there was no comparison. This shoe is narrow and has a tight toe box. I was sorry to have to return them as I liked the look.

Loved the shoes but the left shoe was tight across the instep. If you feel inside where the tongue is stitched on, there is a bump the entire width of the tongue. The other shoe in that area is smooth. I loosened the laces and that did not help. If I were in a store, I would try another pair of the same size.

the insole cushion not comfortable enough...

the toebox is too narrow putting a lot of pressure on my big toe. the fresh foam v 1080 is a much roomier and better sneaker.

I usually know right from putting a new shoe on if it's "the one." These are not. I found the insole to feel like cardboard with a thin layer of foam which was not comfortable to walk in. The mesh material of the toe box is so thin I could see through it which means it will rip quickly. The colors and accents are nice enough except for the black marks on the outer side heel which look major scuff marks that I would have after wearing them for awhile. The shoes just felt cheap and not worth almost $90, maybe $50.

These shoes are very comfortable, give me great support and stability, and I love the color combination and design.

They're great shoes they were just a touch short for me. I have a narrow foot and should wear a size 9 narrow but most companies don't even make narrows at all anymore and those that do make them only in lame colors or just ugly shoes in general. So I tend to get by with finding 8 1/2s that work. New Balance had some in the last couple years that fit me perfectly but new styles means I have to start from zero again.

I have never ordered a WIDE shoe before, but my sneakers are usually a bit tight, I feel sort of squeezed in. I decided to try the WIDE in my normal size (9) and it's like a Christmas Miracle! The fit is perfect, not sloppy or two big, "just right" like the Three Little Bears. I did not know that my athletic shoes could be this comfortable. LOVE!
