New balance shoes are always more comfortable for me. I bought an 11.5 size sheer, and it fit great. I’ve worn the shoes for about two days now and so far they are pretty comfortable. What I dislike about the shoe is the material on the top. It’s pretty thin. Unfortunately, I’ve noticed this about most newer shoes on multiple brands. If I lift my toes up, you can clearly see my toes poking through the material. These shoes would be great to wear in the warmer months, but if the temperatures got cold the shoes, I don’t believe provide adequate insulation. I’m not sure about the arch support either. I have a flat foot and I can’t say that I really feel any arch support.

Size and fit were perfect. Unfortunately, sole on right shoe started to separate. I'm re-ordering!

It seems like a good sneaker, but I think there could be a little more support.

I currently wear 11.5 in my other New Balance sneakers and ordered the same on these but they are easily a half size too small.

I take a very wide shoe and this is still a tiny bit tight. But it is the best so far. I have tried about 10 different shoes and this is the best. Just gotta wear them and hope that they get stretched a bit.

These are for my partner for the gym. He requires a light-weight shoe to be able to get through working out comfortably. These fit that requirement.

Has a narrow toe box. The descriptions for all NB shoes should really indicate whether the shoe is built on their wider toe box.

Not as sturdy as my normal 990, 993 or 860 but a comfortable feel. The foam and mesh have made it much lighter.

For an everyday shoe these are pretty comfortable. You don't need to break them in. Ready to wear right out of the box.

Been wearing the Arishis for years and years, still have my V1s.
Not the usual "glued to your feet" feel that I'm used to with NB which is why I predominantly choose them. My usual size felt a bit big and the heel would slip as I walked. Ordered a half size down and it seems better but now tows are a but cramped.
Laces are also cheap and thin but overall decent shoes when got for sale price.

I bought the 9.5 size for my husband. He wears size 9 in regular shoes, but he needs a 1/2 size more in a running shoe. When he tried these on, his toe hit right at the end of the shoe. I'm going to try another brand as I don't want to get 1/2 size more and maybe it still will be too short.

Great looking shoe with clean design. Very comfortable for walking around but could use a bit more cushion for running.

I wear these shoes for work where I stand for 8-12hrs at a time. These shoes are less cushy than some, but the firmness makes me believe they will last a while. They are a good looking shoe and I will certainly buy another pair. The only reason for a less than perfect score is because they are a little firmer than I was hoping nut still offer excellent support.

It's pretty light and comfortable but I wish it would've been more softer from the inside. I like the style and the way it looks on my feet.

Fit is good, fresh foam comfortable. What I expected. This is probably my sixth or seventh pair.

So I have a problem finding shoes in my size (14 4E) and this shoe style has always come in clutch for the price. There isn't another shoe brand that competes, the one drawback with these is the toe box is a little narrow compared to other versions of this shoe. But overall still king!

Really nice shoe that fortunately comes in a wide width. Very comfortable and lightweight.

I bought these shoes recently and they've proven to be quite comfortable for the price point. They also breathe quite well, which helps in warm climates. They're not the most luxurious or velvety or whatever (which is why they get a 4 and not a 5), but you should know what you're going into buying any shoe that's at a reasonable price. It's nice that they come in a variety of sizes too, since shoe shopping is difficult for me (14 4E).
It's a good simple shoe that breathes well, and sometimes that's all you need!
