Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam Roav Backpack

I ordered a pair of shoes they were too small so I sent them back and ordered the next size up got the in two days but it's been over two weeks since I have been refunded for the first pair that I sent back the same day they arrived.

Not suitable for my foot. I am a long time NB wearer.

These fit small and the sole is ramped in a way that puts a lot of pressure on the inner foot.

Ordered a wide fit but felt tighter than expected on my feet. Also one shoe was warped. Sitting on the floor, one side of the heel would not touch the floor. Don't plan on trying new balance for my next shoes.

I love these sneakers and they are my 2nd pair. This pair however, fit differently. I bought the same size I already have and they are way too small and uncomfortable. Cant return though as I already wore them. Disappointed.

The shoe is very comfortable. I wear 8 1/2 and purchased 8.5 (8 1/2). Shoe DOES NOT RUN SMALL the issue is the tongue of the shoe (part that laces go across) is a solid piece, attached to the left and right of the shoe so the tongue can not be lifted like with most sneakers. This is what makes the shoe seem to run small. The shoe fits my feet, but getting the shoe on ( I have a high instep) was too difficult for me. I GAVE A 2 STAR RATING because New Balance, a well established brand, should have mentioned that the tongue of the shoe is one solid piece in the description. I SAID RUNS SMALL IN HOPES THAT THIS REIVEW WILL BE READ. I didn't see anyone mention in their low star rating about the tongue which is why the shoe seems to run small. Hope this helps. It can be difficult to give an accurate review, so I've tried to explained as best I can.

...the quality diminishes. It could be a function of price point, but the difference of $20 should not result in an inferior product - should it? I put shoes to work, 100K a week easy. The liners on the latest pair fell apart within a week and I had to purchase Dr. Scholl's insoles to make them workable. The pair before that wore out within 40 days. I generally buy a new pair every 2-3 months. The first pair of New Balance I purchased was night and day compared to what I used to wear (Nike) and I was a convert. Love the casual NB with 7 pairs, but you have me reconsidering for athletic needs.

I previously wore these shoes and loved them! So when it came time to get new shoes I wanted another pair! My new pair is oddly tight in the front around the toes. It's weird haha the other shoes fits great though!!

I usually wear an 8 w in New Balance. These sneakers are much to small for me. I will be returning them.

These were very hard to get on. Also heavier than I expected. So I returned them. NB does make the return easy.

It's a very nice shoe and a nice looking shoe. However, it rubbed my ankles raw. I can't wear them. I sold them to a friend who loves them.

These were so tight on my toes - normally new balance fit me well and my last 4 pairs of shoes have been great but this style was just not a good fit for me. I also don't care for the rounded laces - I should have looked more at the details but the fresh foam was what I was looking for and that caught my eye first

I ordered the wide width like I usually do, but these were really tight at the instep and had to be returned.

Very flimsy, not a lot of side wall support, seemed like they would wear out within a few months so I returned them.

The shoe fit small and the crease in the sole made my feet feel as if my sock was rolled up.

Nice looking but too difficult to get on with tongue stitched down/nonadjustablealso prefer the soles in my NB 574's which I am replacing do to many years' wear. I have ordered a new pair of 574's instead

This is the second pair and they dont fix well I would send them back but I have worn them to try to break them in will go to the next size up next time

I use these shoes for walking only. Mainly to take my dog for a walk around the neighborhood. After about 2 months the fabric around the upper toe is coming off. I got a 2E width, but the fit was a little tight. I have a pair of NB 1080 with 2E width and they fit fine.

I loved the look of this shoe and it's very comfortable once you get it on. HOWEVER, they are extremely difficult to get on. The strap under the laced (where a tongue usually is) is very tight and not stretchy. Even loosening the laces does no good because the strap is still an issue. I'm going to return them.

Nice but not my sons type the back was to wide look kinda weird.

A sleek pair of sneaks that were mostly used for athleisure/casual wear. Unfortunately, the mesh material covering more than half the shoe is less than durable. I wore a hole into the top of the toe-box within 2 months of casual wear, as did a few friends with multiple pairs of these shoes.

Sizes run small although I ordered bigger and wide they still fit to tight

Did not like the way the shoe is put on. The lacing system makes it difficult to put on. Couldn't see it in the picture online. Had to purchase a shoe horn.

Had to return these shoes. Although the price was right they had no elastic give on the tongue. I couldn't get them on my feet.

I am assuming it's a simple quality control issue. I, obviously, have worn plenty of other shoes in my life, and I have never had one fit and one not. One literally falls off my right foot, while the left is a little tight but comfortable and functional. I checked the labels and the sizing is the same. I like the shoe a lot, I just wish I could wear them. I will be looking to return them.
