Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam Arishi v4

Ordered these to go up to 10.5 from 10 that I previously returned. Right shoe felt like a 10 and hurt my toes. Returned

So so shoe. Smaller than sizing suggested.

I don't know what's happening with New Balance toe boxes these days, but having to return yet another pair because the 4E is not as wide as it used to be.

After receiving my new NEW BALANCE FRESH FOAM shoes I wore them for approximately two hours in my home while doing weekly chores. The soles of my feet started to become very uncomfortable and to the point of giving me pain! The constuction of the soles of the shoes must be of a honeycomb design. This is what it felt like to me. I have never felt this type of discomfort with any of the NEW BALANCE shoes I have purchased over the years. Or with any other brand of shoe I have purchased!!

Was marked 4E but the fit was too narrow.

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.
