W is slightly snug, but I'm keeping them for when I need "clean" sneakers.

I was looking for red, everyday athletic shoes. The color looked a bit drab online, but I thought they might look better in real life. The price is great, so I wanted to give them a try. Unfortunately, the online color does match the color in real life. Also, the fabric looks like cheap upholstery fabric. I'm returning them.

I thought they were a wide. I also thought they were a dark purple but they are navy blue. They are tight but will try and make them work out.

Tight at first, but after a week or so they fit fine

I am used to paying more for my NB shoes (Is it ok to call them sneakers?) but I really needed some run around sneakers in a neutral tone, so I purchased these. They don't seem to have the arch support, but for running around they are fine. I like NB because I have neuropathy from Chemo years ago, but a little more severe from Diabetes. Generally NB work out well but thee are really so-so.

The style is great and the fit was very good too, but not enough padding like some of the other New Balance shoes have.

I'm returning these due to fit. Really would like the previous style I had but, don't seem to be able to find them.

Yikes! I've had several pairs of new balance sneakers over the years and this is the first to disappoint me. The piece of the shoe on the ankle rubs painfully, even through socks. Maybe they'd break in but I've never had to break in NB shoes before and I'm not really interested. Got another brand in the same order that were way cheaper and didn't hurt. These are going back!

I was looking for a pair of comfortable shoes to work and walk around all day. These are good but super neutral and the sole is more hard than expected. I wish they were more supportive. Returned cause I was looking for something that would helo with plantar fasciitis.

I'm sure these shoes would have been fine. I decided to have my podiatrist fix my toe so I wouldn't need the extra width. The only wide sneakers were these very plain (boring) ones. Jazz them up! People with wide feet like colorful sneakers too!

For the price a decent shoe and seem comfortable enough. My complaint though is that the tongue is very thin(no cushioning) and narrow. I take a wide shoe and when my foot is in the shoe the tongue barely covers the opening. I don't think they would be very comfortable for actual running. I use them more as an run to grocery store and errands shoe. Not sure I'd want to run in them or be on my feet for a 8 hour work day. I know they are under $75, but I still expect more from New balance. I do love the navy color and the look of sleek design.

I have an old pair of these sneakers (at least 3 years old) that I've worn almost everyday over the last 2 years of the pandemic. They were super comfortable but are worn out. I replaced them with a different color (navy) and the new pair doesn't fit as well and is not as cushioned. So overall is less comfortable.

I like this shoe for Zumba because it's lower and pivots easily when turning and making quick moves. I don't like it for running, not enough cushion for me personally. If you are someone who likes zero gravity shoes this one would work for you. I felt the construction of this shoe isn't as good as other NB I have had. The color is off white maybe a touch of grey. Overall ok but not the best I've had from NB.

The insoles that came in the shoes are terrible. I put some after market running insoles in them and the shoes are great.

Shoes fit well, but these are definitely not for runners. There is zero bounce or support--feels like running in loafers. The day after a 15-minute jog, my back is killing me.

I wish I had listened to the reviews about size! What is New Balance doing? I have never worn a 9 in a sneaker ever. Bummer.

This shoe felt like a bedroom slipper -- even with orthotics. I have a lot of serious foot issues and need more support. I am returning.

These New Balance Fresh Foam Arishi v3 fit very well. However, they are not black. They look more gray and the N logo on the side of each shoe is a glaring shiny white. Otherwise, I would have kept them. I am looking for a more subtle walking shoe that does not advertise the brand and I want them to be true black in color.

The shoe runs a little short so consider going a half size up. These have no support at all, so unfortunately they are not for me. Returning.

Love the look of these shoes, super-cute. I don't think they're going to be great for full days of walking, took a walk with my husband last night for about 35 minutes around the block and my feet were a little sore when we got home. For running regular errands, etc. they're fine. And a nice lighter weight for summer.

These shoes are very comfortable and good quality but they make the front of your feet look really wide. I ordered the version with the white sole and my feet look much narrower and more normal. It might be because the white sole provides a visual demarcation. Anyway, the ones with the white soles are a lot more flattering for someone with slender legs and big feet. Choosing shoes that don't make my feet look bigger is a prime consideration for me.

The Arishi v3 felt much less substantial than the 860s and 840s that I usually get. I'm returning it.
