Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam Beacon v3

Returning. Did not mean to order running shoe. great toe box size however. did not like flair at heel.

I love these shoes! The only one drawback: nothing to hold the tongue in place. I like running shoes and cross-trainers to have a "loop" on top of the tongue to help hold it in place. No biggie, though. It doesn't seem to slide around. Plus the shoe manufacturers seem to think its a good idea to put/sew elastic on either side of the tongue to hold it in place, which I have found to make the shoes fit way to snug and leaves more "spots" where blisters could occur due to the extra material and seams. I bought 1 pair and immediately knew they were what I was looking for, so I got back online and bought 4 more pairs. They were out of best colors offered but if the shoe fits... I have bunions under my big toes and outside my pinky toes and these are WONDERFUL! They are also all mesh, so they cushy and breathe, plus, no hard places or seams to rub and cause friction. I wear a 7 Wide and love these. I have 5 pairs. I dont NEED more, but if the come out in my size with great colors I will probably buy even more because it's sooo hard to find a comfy shoe that fits the way you want.

They seem a little short lengthwise. However, the heels slip, so I don’t want to go up in size because they are already too slippy. So I am returning. Mainly I’m looking for good fit and comfort for long walks. Cuteness would be a plus. These are not cute on me, but I would keep them if they fit well. Because I’m desperate fo find something that works. But these are not the ones.

Shoe runs very short in length even ordering my usual New Balance size.

this is my second pair!

Didn’t realize I needed a wide fit until I wore these shoes. The 8 B was always tight in the toe bed. This shoe feels like walking on a cloud. Having extra room in the toe without losing the tight fit in the heel has changed my stride. Love this show. Will order more.

I love these!

New Balance athletic shoes always perfectly. I try other brands and end up returning them. Perfect arch support and comfort.

Love these runners right out of the box--plenty of toe room, just the right amount of arch, and too cute!

My wife is very pleased with the shoes- they are comfortable and offers her great support when walking-they are also have a great look to them.

I have a classic medium width foot with a smaller heel and my usual NB medium size of 9.5 fit perfectly. What I really like about the Beacon v3 is that it has excellent heel support. I walk 3-4 miles every day on a paved sidewalk and my feet feel great in these sneakers. I feel these are particularly comfortable when my heel strikes the pavement. Another plus of the Beacon is that the design of this sneaker does not look clunky and it can be worn with casual street clothes.

Great fit best shoe i have ever put on my feet. Only complaint is that the rubber part on bottom of shoe started coming off only three days after I recieved them

I loved the shoes, I received them Sunday. I wore them Monday and Wednesday and the rubber on the bottom started to come off. I will say these are the most comfortable shoes I have ever put on my feet.

Great shoes but you’ll need arch support.

Sole was comfortable, but I thought the material on the upper was very thin. Don't know how that's going to hold up.
