Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam Sport v2

Perfect fit, very comfortable and cute, too!

Comfortable right away. Lots of room for my toes. The tongue is attached which I am not a fan of and it comes up higher on my ankle than I am used to. I decided to just wear them around the house and soon was not noticing the higher than normal tongue. After wearing these for 2 different 3 mile walks, I noticed that my feet were achy from the lack of arch support. So I put my orthotic insoles in and that is much better. They do get dirty quickly even though I am trying to keep them clean (I have the light blue ones).

When I noticed that these shoes had the “tongue” sewn down as part of the shoe, I was ready to send them right back. I have had other shoes like that and they were so hard to put on, I just didn’t wear them often. But I figured I would try them on anyway. They are so comfortable! And getting them on isn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I still don’t like they style without the tongue being loose , but these are not bad.

They weren’t as cushioned as I expected. I talked to a customer service rep and got a recommendation on another style of NB which I exchanged my purchase for. Thank you Zappos!!! ??

I just got these new sneakers and they fit pretty well. As always, whenever I get new shoes, I wear them for short durations at first. Immediately after getting them , I put them on for a day at the park with my kids. I didn’t really run in them but did a lot of walking and they felt good, had good support and were comfortable. Only one complaint: these shoes seems to be a bit loose at the back, like they might need a better grasp at the back of the heal . But overall good shoes.

I love Fresh Foam. The beacon was my first pair and I fell in love. I ordered another pair of fresh foam - a running shoe, not beacon. I liked, but not near as much, they had a hard sole that never softened up. These, I think will be just fine. They are very lightweight, soft and cushy like the beacon. Only downside I think - the tongue is attached so it’s more like a slip on. And there’s not a lot of room to slip my high arches in. I feel like they will loosen up eventually and they are comfy once I get my arches thru the gauntlet, lol. I know I will love them, just need them to loosen up. I don’t understand what NB is doing with the tongue and why they have to be so stingy with material. I do wish they’d bring back the beacon. This is a pretty good shoe for the price and I think it looks better than the pictures represent. I got it in black.

This style is actually more like a slip on as it has a fixed tongue - but does have laces that allow one to tighten the shoe. I ordered the D width but did not find them wide enough. Still trying to find a similar fit to the 1080v8 because subsequent updated 1080 styles are made with a slightly higher height in the heel which unfortunately throws the fit off for me and IMO takes away the neutral fit that the 1080v8 style provided. Wish NB could be more consistent with the width sizing.

I’m so bummed that i ran about three days with these new shoes and just now i had to cut my time short and come home because the left foot (toe area) has a seem that flapped open and for three miles or so my toe was rubbing up against this huge dangling flap (i hope that makes sense) Anyways, I’ll try and get some scissors in there and trim it up and hopefully it will relieve the irritation to my now blistered toe. I don’t mean to sound like a baby, i just expect a running shoe to last longer than three days.

I frequently get compliments on these sneakers -- I think it's the cheerful color. They're also super comfy -- very lightweight and flexible and also they BREATHE. Which is wonderful in the summer.

Very lightweight…in a good way ?

Very comfy. Not good for intense workouts, I think. Very good for running errands and urban walk abouts.

Very comfortable. A little lightweight for serious walking/standing, but perfect for everyday wear.

Very nice shoe bot just not a Hoka

fit well and super cute!

Fit well for my wide 7 size feet!

These shoes are so comfortable and cute. I've got many compliments. I wish they came in more colors. Highly recommend.

I thought they were too short at first, but when I checked my old ones, they fit the same. I am walking for a mile to a mile and a quarter every day as I recover from back surgery and they are comfortable the whole way. Yesterday I walked on a trail and they cushioned my feet well. I love them!

like walking on a cloud....

They are so lightweight!

It's very comfortable. This is my 3rd pair

This is my 3rd pair of NB fresh foam ,I love it I'm constantly on my feet at work and at the end s of my shift my feet doesn't hurt

Fits true to size. Slip on/off and tighten with laces; Love the color and style. Great for walking; can’t wait to try them running
