Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam Arishi v3

The color was so nice and shap wasn’t bulky. Great sneaker.

This shoe fit true to size, no ordering up or down a half size. The material is soft and I didn’t have a break in period, which was awesome. However it could use better arch support and I’m going to be purchasing an insert for running to give my arches more support.

i do really like them but think a memory instert would be better,im a waitress im on my feet 8 hours a day i did switch shoes half way into my shift......i love the style any recomondations would be great for another perchase,, and thank you naz for all your help have a great day

Bought this NB shoe for teen girl to use while working at a restaurant - outside of course. She wears an 8.5 in other NB sneakers, and this pair fit the same. Very comfortable to wear while working. She did put supplemental arch support in the shoes. The color purple is perfect - not too bright but still fun.

Perfect. They were comfortable right out the gate. Wore around house and then on my 5 miles walk, a big thumbs up

Comfortable

Great lightweight sneaker. Very comfortable and a good price. Ordered to wear just inside but might get another pair I like them that much!

This is a very lightweight shoe which I ordered as my "everyday" pair of athletic shoes. They felt true to size and required no breaking in. They have a little arch support and a removable foot bed so using my more supportive orthotics is no problem at all. The tongues are not attached at the sides and tend to slip into the shoe if I try to slide them on without holding the tongues in place. The soles feel a bit too thin and soft to really perform and protect well when hiking rocky paths in the woods, but for general knocking about the yard or in town, they're fine and very comfortable.

The fit is very good ao size is correct for me. The fabric seems to be a bit fuzzy which attracts bits of trash. I prefer a smoother fabric. That is a disappointment but I generally like the shoes

Versatile sneaker!

Color is listed as black but actually looks like a dark navy with black laces and black trim around the laces. Not a true dark black color.

These are bigger than size 10's in other recent New Balance sizes I've purchased. It was kind of a hassle to exchange for a half-sizer smaller, but worth it because I really like these shoes.

This shoe fits well to size. There's not a lot of support either under arch or around ankle which is taking me a bit of time getting used to the difference from other New Balance sneakers I've had. Having said that, it's a comfortable shoe and very cute. Because it doesn't have a lot of extra support or cushioning, I don't expect these sneakers to last me as long as the last pair of New Balance did.

This was a super comfy shoe right out of the box and I liked the look too. That said, it lacked the support I want/need for my exercise walks so will return. If I was looking for just a run around town shoe, would have kept them.

My only issue is the darker grey color, stated as a grey, but it has a tint of blue. It's a nice enough tone, but since it's not a standard charcoal grey, it doesn't work for my black/grey based wardrobe, so back it goes. This is a standard, light and comfy-enough, light activity and walking shoe. I'm an 8.5 in some brands and 9 in others. The 9 worked perfectly in this NB shoe. I have an older, similar New Balance shoe, and the 9 is too big. I've recently tried a couple different pairs of NB, and it seems like the NB sizing has generally shifted and I'm now a NB 9.

These shoes look great but unfortunately do not work for my feet. The support felt higher on the outer edge of the foot vs. the inner edge, which resulted in my feet feeling slightly "tipped in" and I think this will have an impact on my ankles and knees. I haven't had this issue before so I am thinking it is the shoes and not my feet, but not sure if others have felt this.

Cute shoe, but hard as a rock. No cushioning and very long in length. Was disappointed.

Cute shoe in looks, but no support and very hard.

Out of the box, the shoe fit was fine. I typically wear a 7 1/2 D. Zappos gave me the opportunity to wear the shoes for 30 days which I did. I used the shoes for two weeks on daily walks averaging 7,500 steps daily. I noticed that the heel area was loose. My heels were lifting out of the shoe. I like the shoe material; felt like it had some “stretch” to it. The shoe has little arch support. This may pose a challenge for flat-footed persons. I am a loyal client of NB and usually my purchase selections are spot on for use “out of the box”. Sadly this pair was not one of them. I am returning this pair and ordered the 7 1/2 B which I am currently using for a test run. I gave this shoe a 3star Overall rating since the fit did not appear to meet the “D” criteria; however, gave a 5 for the Style.

Too thin for my feet, not enough support

I tried to use Arishi V3 as a walking shoe but way too soft. More like an indoor bedroom slipper. Could not comfortably use arch supports.

I ordered a half size larger for more toe room and that was fine. After wearing the shoes the lack of support was uncomfortable, arch supports did not work at all! Just not suitable for walking, more like a soft shoe for around the house. I have to return it.
