Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam X Lav V2

The Lav is a tremendous tennis shoe. It's comfortable right out of the box. It has superior cushioning and excellent lateral stability. The wides are true to size. Durability is about average but I value comfort and stable support above all else in a competitive-level court shoe.

I have a closet full of sneakers in this size. These absolutely don't fit. They are smaller and narrower than the others.

Great cushioning

These are awesome shoes! So comfortable.

I got this pair JUST yesterday, played a big match at night, and won. These shoes felt like my 860's, which has a supportive medial post, so if you pronate some your feet and ankles will thank you too! I have sort of a wide foot, but got the "D" width, and they fit perfectly. After 1st set, they felt like they were already broke in. PLEASE NEW BALANCE KEEP THIS SHOE GOING, AND DON'T MESS WITH THE MEDIAL POST. AND SEND ME A NEW PAIR FOR CHRISTMAS PLEASE.

Tennis, 5-8 times a week. Durable yrt, comfortable!

These shoes are comfortable and supportive for playing several hours of pickleball. I've also received several compliments on their appearance.

Easy break-in around the house and very comfortable on the court. Love the new Lav color scheme (blue).

I bought a second pair immediately- best shoes I've owned for the court hands down

Best shoes I've ever worn. My only wish is that they were always available.

I bought a half-size up and use custom orthos for arch support. They fit nicely, are comfy out the box and broke in after one match. The shoes made me stand tall and felt stable and balancing. They are a wee bit heavier than the last couple of pairs I've worn (Nike and K-Swiss) but it didn't seem to slow me noticeably. Have gotten compliments on the color scheme!

Great cushioning Keep them in stock and with some more colors

Comfortable, and supportive. Great for tennis. Love the colors.

Good traction on hard courts, will like to see other colors combinations, maybe in black.

I absolutely love these shoes they are the best tennis shoe I have ever leased up! Perfect for my wide 7.5 2E. I am currently wearing the 2021 version However I was disappointed of how quickly my size sold out in the 2022 version which is the lavender and blue Hopefully they will be back in stock soon because I would love to have a pair! I would recommend these to anyone!

love my new Fresh Foam X Lav V2 tennis shoes! Fit great and are the funkiest and coolest shoes around! Wish they were not so expensive but so is everything else. PLEASE keep manufacturing these shoes and I will be set for a long time. Good job!!!

But v1 lav was a little wider in toe box Overall glad these shoes exist

Toe box was too small/narrow for my.othotic additions. The "fresh foam" insole was not as cushy as my usual/current NB RevLite choice. Thought it would be an improvement. Was not, and for a lot more money.

These are NEARLY the perfect tennis shoes, but they lack some durability so continuing to replace them monthly can get expensive if you play often. I'm on my 4th or 5th pair of the LAV v2 and love the comfort of the fresh foam, support from the heel cup and short break-in period. Where they fall short is their ability to stay intact after a few weeks of frequent play. The soles wear through, the thin rubber on the toe box always gets a hole and the too-long laces need to be replaced. I'd love to see these improvements before I go broke trying to maintain my Lav V2 habit!

I love the look and comfort of these shoes! I think they look great! Having said that, for my style of play where I excel in court coverage, and love to get that quick initial first step towards the ball! I thought these shoes were a little too unresponsive for my liking! They're great for feel and stability, and for players that likes to hold their ground while hitting their ground strokes, I think they're great! But personally for me, they're a little bit too soft and unresponsive, and I can't seem to get the desired traction/control to maneuver and slide around the court! Overall good shoes! But just not for me!
