Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam Beacon v3

These are just daily wear shoes, but I needed to replace a pair of Fresh Foam that I had worn out. I haven't been disappointed.

Great shoe at a great price. Do not buy these shoes if you want red shoes. The description says "Crimson red" but it's more like a maroon.

I have a low instep and narrower than average foot. Several years ago I bought 2 pair of New Balance Fresh Foam Beacons. I thought I would try this newer design hoping the footbed would fit as well as the older versions I have. They did fit okay, but I have one complaint - the tongue is thinner and provides less cushioning from the tightened up laces that I need for my narrow feet. Also, the tongue on the older version fit flat and the newer version crumples up with a ridge down the middle which is not comfortable. Otherwise, I like the design and overall fit.

I had already owned a pair of these New Balance shoes and loved them, however even though buying the exact same shoe, this new pair did not fit as well. I don't know what happened in there production process, but it is not as good as the prior version

Would like to give them a better review but I got the widest size ,the are just narrow in the toe box. I was expecting them to be the same toe box width as the 1080v11.

The shoe fits true to size and is very comfortable. I found that the heal of the shoe is extremely soft and squishy. I had to return as it was causing knee pain just after a short walk on the treadmill. The Beacon v3 might be a great shoe for running, but for fitness walking there seems to be too much resistance due to the high stack height and softness of the sole of the shoe.
