Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam Roav Backpack

I bought theses shoes for work because I needed a shoe with good support since I'm a nurse and stand on my feet 12 hours a day. They are very comfortable and I love how they look! However I was very upset when a hole wore through the top of the shoe in the big toe area very quickly! I have never worn these shoes outside and only worn indoor. The hole started only 2 months after purchasing!

The shoes have been great. Light weight and comfy. They're still in great shape except my big toe wore a hole through the top. I'll still wear them but only around the house.

These are great except there's a big lever in the back which could tear your achilles off

I have worn New Balance shoes for many years, and they are the most comfortable tennis shoes to me. The Fresh Foam Roavs are no exception. However, my experience has been very frustrating. I purchased a pair of light gray ones (lead with workwear and angora), MROAVBG. But, the pair I received was the darker gray (phantom with workwear and angora, MROAVBK) even though the tag actually says MROAVBG. I contacted New Balance and they agreed that the color was wrong on the pair I received, so I sent them back in and ordered a second time. Then the second pair I got was the same as the first pair (MROAVBK), even though the tag also says MROAVBG! I was very frustrated because I wanted the light gray pair, not the dark gray pair, but now I'm convinced that there is actually no pair anymore that actually looks like the MROAVBG in the photos. The first pic is what I expected, the next three are what I got. It makes me sad...

The fit and feel are great but my big toe comes through that fabric. NEW BALANCE . . . can you make the big toe area out of another fabric??? Please? because I want to buy another pair but want the toe area to last longer than a month! And I don't run either.

This my 4th pair of the foam roav they have been my go to for sometime. I was excited to get this new pair and was surprised I could barely get them on. Ordered my usual 6 1/2 and they fit more like a 5 1/2- it was almost like they were designed to wear without a sock they were so tight.

Too tight even though I ordered a wide. Had to give to my mom because I didn't want to go through return process during the holidays.

The changes made across the instep that ties the tongue to the shoe side makes it very difficult to slip on. Won't buy this particular shoe again

I wanted to like these NB but the show was too short, with a tiny thin sock my toes were just about touching the front of the sneaker. There didn't feel like much cushion and support and sadly returned. Fit reference I have a thin foot and ankle area very thin, wear 7.5 but usually sizes up to an 8, and this was an 8 that I returned.

Liked the look until I tried them on. runs small sent them back

I have been a size 9 in this shoe before and is other NB shoes. The pair I received is too small and tight. This shoe fits different than the pair of Roav's I have now so I am returning them.

I WEAR SIZE 9.5 & of course ordered 9.5 and have never had a pair of shoes not fit. These run very small, now I have to pay to return for buying my normal size. Not Right!!!

Bought these thinking they were Fresh Foam x860s. So disappointed to learn they have been discontinued. I have arthritis in my foot & those were by far the most comfortable shoes!

Ordered the same size I always do and this pair was too small. Sizing is inconsistent..

My first pair of NB's that I had to send back. Says they are wide but they are very tight.

The fabric over the tongue of the shoe, under the laces, doesn't stretch. After I struggle and get it on, it feels wonderful. Like other New Balance shoes I've gotten, it's comfortable all day. It's just hard to put on.

I got these shoes almost a year ago and I loved their look. But last week I was tying my shoe and the ring of fabric that holds the lace ripped out. Now the shoes are worthless. It's a poor design.

I am disappointed with the shoes, they are not very supportive, I can't even wear they a whole day at work because they make my feet, legs and hips

I wanted to like these shoes. I love the way they look but they are narrow and the sole is very hard. They also hurt my heel for some reason. I had to return them.
