Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam More v3

Great fit and size. I just started wearing them, and the footbed is really soft and supportive. Shoes seem to make my spine/calves stretch (like my heels are low and my toes are pointing upwards a bit) and it feels good. I'm a little worried that the interior toe box near my bunions might rub, but so far I'm keeping them. They aren't that nice looking, but I need comfort. They are very expensive.

The shoe fit very comfortably. the size was my usual and that was fine. the style I loved from the top of the shoe, I just felt the heel was very bulky looking for me. That was my only complaint.

I have a narrow foot so this shoe in the medium width felt too wide for me even after tightening the laces. I wear a 13 and between the extra width and the large sole it made my foot look huge. Seemed like the shoe was sized more for a man than a woman. Loved the turquoise color! Hated to have to return.

I love the look of this shoe. Most of the time I wear Hoka Bondi 7s or Bondi 8s, so I found the Fresh Foam More v3 to have much less cushioning - I feel like I can feel the soles even with thick socks on. Also, I notice in walking for exercise, that the New Balance does not give any spring back after each step the way the Hokas do. Will keep these for the color and look and basic comfort for wearing in the house, but will not use them for exercise.

They were stiff. Not enough room in the toe area. Overall they are pretty. Just not fitting well. Felt half-size too small.

They were ok but others were more comfortable

Runs SMALL. I’ve worn several new balance shoes and always the same size (13EE) but these were way too tight. Style is cute, shoe looks like it would be comfy but the sizing seems way off. Unfortunately I couldn’t size up as I’m at the top end of their size range.

These NB Fresh Foam More v3 are comfortable but I believe that they may not be a good choice for someone who is elderly because of the sole being so bulky which may cause one to fall.

I really wanted to like these, based on the reviews. I like that they are very roomy in the toe box but the ankle area is stiff and rubs against the skin. Even with thick socks, the shoes felt not quite right for me. Returning these and sticking to the New Balance 1080 V11 which are lighter and softer, still with plenty of cushions.

I had the exact same shoes in black and was very pleased with their cushioning and width - especially for my RA-affected feet. I've tried Hokas but they're too narrow. Since I've had them for a year (I'm not a runner), I went to order the same exact pair and Zappos only had this blue color. I was so surprised and disappointed that even though they're labelled the exact same size, they are fully a size smaller and a width narrower. You can actually see it comparing them side by side (easily seen by my son and husband as well). So bummed that I have to start the Cinderella perfect-sneaker search again?

It fit much larger than other styles of the same size. The sides hit right at the ankle bone, so too high.
