Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam Arishi v4

I didn't pay a ton of money for this pair (actually got it on sale); but it looks and feels cheap. I don't expect it to last. I ordered a wide size and it actually feels a little narrow; built in a way that puts pressure on the outer edges of my feet. I didn't buy these to make a fashion statement; which is good because the beige sole color comes off as dirty/old. However, I did buy these for use on my treadmill and it was a huge mistake. The sole bottoms have some sort of coating on them that makes them extremely slick on certain surfaces. I can walk on the treadmill, with some slipping, but can't safely jog or run. I'm hoping a few miles will "scuff" them up and provide tolerable traction. Disappointed.

Material was great & would breathe well. But toe box was not deep enough nor had enough "volume" (width)

check my opinion

The shoes were used and part of the outsole on one she had fallen off. Will be returning. It’s unfortunate because the shoes were comfortable.

The fit was okay and true to size. The materials are not great. I notice insoles were thin and unsupportive. I don’t think they will last very long.

This only lasted me a couple months before the sole inserts and upper broke.

Not comfortable.

The heel area felt tight and uncomfortable so I returned them.

I only had the shoes for a about 4 months and they have already broken down to the point where the sidewalls bend so much my feet almost come out of the shoe. I have to tie them so tight that that the tongue of the show is almost completely covered. Normally very happy with New Balance but these are not there best shoes.

They put some sort of framing part on the inside of the shoe, and as crazy as it sounds, my toes catch it on some steps. So annoying. When I step down on the shoe, I can see a weird crease at the anterior toe area.

Not a typical New Balance shoe feel at all and I'm a loyal New Balance wearer- felt like a down graded NB shoe.

Probably the worst sneakers I’ve ever purchased. I kept them because the realization was a slow process. They fit ok but more like I bought a narrow, in other words when I wear them it looks like they don’t fit properly although for the most part they do. Tongue also slips from side to side. Granted these were pretty cheap. But this will become chore sneakers now.

Developed a rapidly growing hole on top of the shoe within three months of average use. Attempted a clumsy repair (pictured) to no avail. Will return. Otherwise very comfortable.

These shoes caused blistering on the side of my left foot. Had to return them.

Not as comfortable as New Balance v15 - These were a gift
