Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam Arishi v4

Your weight is a issue as for how long these sneakers will feel comfortable for you. Mine lasted a very short time and I needed to return them. Lesson learned, what you pay is what you get.

Not comfortable for my toes. Smashes my toes down.

the toe box is narrow and pinched my toes together at the tip. needs a more rounded toe. returned.

To be fair, I returned this pair only because of the size difference. I typically wear 11.5 size shoe. When I purchased the shoe, I also purchased another pair of new balance shoes with the same size. While the other pair fit perfect this pair was too snug. I was able to get my feet in the shoes, but they are not true to size. I would suggest getting another size up if you’re interested in this pair.

First I don’t know where I would go if not for Zappos. Between my need for xwide shoes plus medical issues not many places carry what I need. Zappos gives me the opportunity to try shoes from different manufacturers. Some of the issues I have, I don’t believe manufacturers put out a consistent product and have gone smaller in size and width, over the past several years. I never could understand how some people rate the shoe a size small and another rates the same shoe a size larger. I have purchased shoes that was to small, reordered the same shoe months later and they fit. No consistency from manufacturing process. Back to this shoe almost a winner shoe box wide enough but not deep enough. Thanks Zappos for being there.

Like the sneaker, just way too small. I wear a 10 in every other sneaker i own but need an 11 in this one

The material doesn't feel comfortable

It was a great looking shoe, but if it was a 2E or EE it was mistake. The toe box was too tight for my feet.

Sneaker was too small, Lately New Balance fits are all over the place. Possibly because of the different countries involved. May have to try another maker.

Wanted to like the shoe, but way too narrow.

A bit smaller than expected. New Balance wide 4E isn't even close. The shoes felt ok, but way too narrow. The 4E wide feels like a regular sized wide shoe.

Felt like a boat swashing water to the bow, with a sudden sliding dip.. Slipping sensation.

The right shoe had some fabric wavy-ness on the inside left that rubbed against my foot and made wearing the shoe annoying. Also there was zero arch support and the sole cushioning of the shoes was woefully inadequate.

Very thin soles. Might be ok for walking.

The fit was a little small. I ordered a reebok in the same size, and that fit perfectly.

The inner side of the shoe pulled and rubbed on my feet right away. I could tell immediately they would not be comfortable to walk in. It could possibly be better in a wide size, but the lining inside the shoe was the issue.

I have had the Arishi v2 and v3 and loved them, so this was the natural next shoe for me to get. My main concern is for the durability: with the mesh finish, you can see in the photos the area where the inner “toe guard” (?) at the front of the shoe ends. With normal relaxed office use for a couple months, the cloth of the outside of the foot has completely worn through at this same spot. I have my pair of Arishi v3 still, which uses a different (non-mesh) cloth for the shoe, and they are still totally intact and look fine after more than a year of the same use.

Very comfortable. Great Price. Made my feet stink so bad that I threw them away after a week.
