I ran many many miles in these shoes and every miles was worth wearing these

Received and wanted to try it out on first day. Feels comfortable, didn't need much to break into. Very comfortable and wide enough for running. Would highly recommend, but color is questionable.

I'm a distance runner that needs extra support. My rotation includes stability shoes made by other brands, but the updated V5s are the best. These run with a wonderful balance of support, cushioning, and responsiveness. Fit is spot on. Fresh foam cushion is perfect. It's not mushy nor firm and has good energy return. I prefer the increased midfoot width and heel drop. NB got this one right.

Hello mothers of boys who have just moved up from kids sizes **waving** Here's your pro-tip! I ordered these for my son in D width because I know D width to be wide. *Because in women's shoes, B is Medium & D is Wide!!!* I wasn't aware that in Mens shoes, D is Medium & EE is Wide. Why? Why is there a difference? He already wore them so I can't return them. Lesson learned - Huge bummer! Otherwise, I've ordered 4 pairs of Wide New Balance in the past for myself;1080's, 574's. They are all great! In fact, I only buy New Balance at this point because of their awesome selection of wides.

This being my 3rd pair (previous 2 pairs being the blue/orange), these feel considerably smaller and tighter, yet are the same size as the previous purchases.
I would have also liked to have some more adventurous colours - similar to the blue/orange pairs I already own.
But...things aren't all bad. Being someone requiring the pronation support, these are (IMHO) the best shoes I've had. Flat feet/collapsed arches, rolling ankles is never fun when trying to log even a few km per run a few times per week, and these helped me get through Challenge Roth Triathlon last summer pain free.

They look great but the wide in this model is 2E and is less wide that my previous 3 purchases of foam products?

They felt narrower than my last pair. After using them a few times, my feet began to hurt, so I compared them to my old ones and sure enough, they are narrower. It is not much (see photo), but enough to make a difference.

Fit and Size as expected. Purchased NB due to suggested shoe for overpronation, and not disappointed there !! First ever NB running shoe, and the rebound on these are GREAT. Breaking in with Tempo runs and walking at moment. Only wore 4 times, and have noticed Right foots Rear Left arch pinches a bit ! Possibly just need broke in more, yet mentioned. Not a fan of style/look.. yet was Significantly cheaper than the other color options so figured Fall is coming and not a fashion statement in Leaves/Rain and Snow.

The Vongo has always been a solid option for those of us looking for the elusive support/cushioning combo. This version continues to fit that bill with an improved upper and a smooth ride. These are not go fast shoes and lack the responsiveness of some other options but they show up for every run and do what they are asked to do. My biggest beef is they seem overpriced for what you get but I guess when you're the only option in a category you can charge what you want.

Fit was great but the tongue of the shoe is really uncomfortable. It digs into the top of my foot. Had to return them for this reason.

A little narrower than I would like even in 2E. The issue is at the head of the 5th metatarsal striking the plastic N logo and the sidewall. Otherwise a good shoe.

These shoes are my 4th pair of the new balance running shoes for the past 2 years. What I don't like about these shoes are that they run narrower than the previous pairs.

Love the comfort and cushioning of the shoe, but my previous pair of the same shoe, (wide), was much wider than this pair of same size (wide).

The shoe looked nice and I really wanted it to fit but it was the narrowest men's double E I have ever tried on.

Very comfortable shoe, which you should expect from New Balance. Supports the arch really well and is definitely good for everyday activities. Also very comfortable when running! I do recommend these shoes.

The shoes I had to return as they were to small. Then I ordered new shoes and they sent the wrong size and width.
