I've been purchasing NB shoes for myself and my oldest child for years because it is one of the only brands that accommodates an orthotic. These new style NB shoes are so cute but too tight across the instep to wear with my orthotics. I tried ordering a half size larger and wider and now I have two pairs of shoes that don't fit. Too much trouble to go through the return process. I'll wait till the world opens up against to try shoes on at the store. Till then...oh well.

There is nothing wrong with this shoe but it was recommended from a site that said it was a good shoe for plantar fasciitis pain relief. It was not. Minimal arch support and no real cushion for PF pain relief.

Not enough arch support. R shoe was flatter and my foot slipped around inside the shoe and rolled to the inside. The left was fine. Defective pair maybe. I have always loved NB because they fit my feet so well. Just not this pair.

They were not the quality product I expected from New Balance. Everything about them seemed below average. I wondered why they were so cheap. Should have known.

I've had every version of the Fresh Foam Arishi but something is drastically different with these. Not sure what happened but they're physically painful to walk in. There isn't enough padding on the bottom so I bought inserts but they don't help. So bummed because these were my go-to walk/jog sneakers!

Well I love the color and the style but the shoe itself was very narrow. I had ordered a Wide so there was no way I could reorder any larger. Also I ordered the size I usually wear with new balance and they were too small. Obviously the shoe runs terribly small and unfortunately, because of the width of my foot which isn't even that wide, I could not use them and had to send them back

Not one of New Balance’s better made shoes. The upper is cheap and thin, it’s more like a loose sock. The upper also folds very easily with movement. The foam sole feels thin and not very supportive. The cushion feels like it’s already had a good 6 months of use even being brand new- it feels pretty flat. The sizing is just a half size up from what I normally wear in athletic shoes. I do a lot of walking at work so I was really looking for a good shoe that could stand up to a good amount of daily use, while providing comfort and support- I don’t think this shoe is it. If you’re planning to use it for running, (as a personal trainer) I wouldn’t recommend it either. At best, this is a light use leisure shoe.
New Balance needs to work on quality for their mid-tier athletic shoes.

They were very uncomfortable. Dig in the back and the arch hit in the wrong place.

These shoes gave me the worst blisters only 2 days into my vacation. I’ve never had a shoe give me blisters. These are obviously made poorly, so do not buy these.

I have never had a problem with the fit of New Balance, but this show was so tight on my foot. If you order, order at least one size wider. What a disappointment.

Can't say im impressed. They are not waterproof and feel too soft to really support around the top of the foot. The heal rubs and causes blisters.
Average shoe, really only best for gym and indoor use.

I bought these to replace an older pair of Arishis . They are very different: much narrower, stiffer and flimsier. Also, the heel seemed very low. Will be returning.

These are nothing like my previous pair of Arishi shoes. The foam was missing and the exterior was cheap looking. I purchased these from the New Balance website, but these were of such low quality they did not seem like New Balance shoes at all. Disappointing.

The insole is a flimsy piece of thin foam - 2 days of wearing it and it just became like a flat piece of tissue paper.

In less than 6 months the padding in the heel has worn through. My previous NB - same style - lasted almost a year. Very disappointed. No longer a die hard NB customer.

I guess I expected more, being that they are NB. They are not comfortable, either with or without my inserts. Had to turn around mid walk and put my old shoes on

They seemed fine at first. I got caught in the rain on my first run in them and the whole toe portion seemed to mush over to the side. Was very uncomfortable, had to cut the run short and head back home. Maybe better suited for casual wear when there is no chance of getting your feet wet.
