I bought these shoes to start running and so far I love them. They are light, comfortable, and breathable. The only small issue I have with them is that the breathable fabric does get damp if I am running on wet grass.

Fits well with my orthotic inside for arch support. Light as a feather, works great for my covid era hamster wheel, aka the stationary exercise bike. The price is right, they're pretty without being fancy, I was able to put them on and work out right away, and they are replacing my New Balance running shoes that are old, heavier, and hard as a brick due to overuse. When it's time to run again, I'll invest in another beefier New Balance shoe, but these Fresh Foam Arishi v3s suit my current needs beautifully.
I'd also recommend:
Open to new things, but I'm pretty much a New Balance lady when it comes to exercise.

These shoes are nice and light! They don’t offer a ton of ankle support but overall very comfortable for cross training!

It’s a pretty good shoe for the price. Time will tell how they hold up but the quality feels good compared to others at this price point. I have wide feet and the 8.5W fit well. It was a bit longer than other NB shoes I’ve tried but not enough to go down a 1/2 size. I got these for my boxing class, and they were great. Wore them to class fresh out of the box and no pain, blisters, etc. Design-wise, they’re fine. Nothing fancy.

This was the first time I have bought shoes without trying them on. I stick with New Balance because they usually seem to be the best fit. These are pretty comfortable but maybe just a little less wide than I would like. The material is soft and stretchy so I'm keeping them. Love the color!

The fit felt snug on my foot, in particular across the top just behind the toes. Not comfortable for running or exercising. I liked the look, appearance of these shoes.

I have very narrow heels, and NB shoes are the only shoes I know of that stay on my heels (no sliding). Such is the case with these, but they are not totally comfortable. They dig a little into the heel unlike my older pair of NB. Perhaps when I break them in, the feel will improve. I am willing to take that chance because they look cool and the price is not bad (compared to other brands). I will keep them!

I have found New Balance to be good walking shoes. I love the colors as well.

Very light weight running shoes. Perfect for treadmill jogging. True to size.

I simply bought this shoe because I needed an extra pair for recovery runs & warm ups/cool downs for track days. These were an excellent price, so I figured I couldn't lose. These shoes are at best okay. There isn't much to them in terms of stability or cushioning, and since I prefer a more minimalist shoe, that is fine. I am, however, a major heel striker, and these shoes tend to force me more on the forefoot (we will see in time if this is a good thing or a bad thing). The shoes feel a little cheap, but do look great (I have the black & copper ones). When I first put them on I didn't like the feel, but in less than a mile they felt pretty good. I wouldn't use these for much "serious" running other than warm ups/cool downs (I wear racers for track workouts anyway) and I don't expect to get a whole lot of miles out of these, but they are a great deal for what they are.

These are very comfortable. I wore them right out of the box and had no blisters or discomfort after my run. I will definitely buy them again!

Very comfortable and true to size 9w. I walk 6-10 miles a day and a little more support would make a big difference in the shoe. I like NB shoes and will continue to wear them.

Typically an 8M in NB shoes. Have 3 other pairs of various styles, all 8's. These are much longer and too big. Keeping to give to my daughter, bummed they don't have the 7.5M in stock. Going to the V2 model and see if the 7.5 works. Great looking shoe, needed a good gym/lifting/walking shoe but these are just too big.

These are cute sneakers but are not truly a wide. My foot hung over on both edges at the forefoot.

I love the look, style, and color. Comfortable, yet very little support. I will not be wearing these on my daily runs. Great for walking and just everyday wear.

I have another pair of these and only used them for certain activities, so not overly used. Really like them by the way that's why I ordered this pair for after foot surgery. The pair I have already I have been able to get on my foot very easily and not very tight but these (in same size) I can't even get half of my foot in.
So unfortunately and regrettably, since I love the color, I had to return them.

I like it to walk and do circuit training in these shoes. But I like my old 520's better and I can't seem to find them on your web site.

I bought these during a big sale and they're nice for the price, but feel a bit flimsy compared to the v880's, which are way more expensive and of course not 30% off. The v880s lasted me over two years and over 350 miles on asphalt. These look and feel nice, but I think I prefer the chunkier shoe and I can't see these lasting long. I'll probably get the v880s again and make these my workout shoes vs. running shoes.

I have been wearing inside and happy with them. Good stability but not a firm body so be aware that is a loser fit.

Super soft and flexible shoe. Very comfortable. Because the fabric is so forgiving it is pretty soft so the only watch out is it does not provide protection or support on the top of the foot.
