Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam Arishi v4

I love the this style and look. My go-to athletic shoe is New Balance size 5.5B. Because my foot width is between a B and an N, New Balance seems to run a little narrow which is perfect for me. This shoe runs a little shorter than my others so being returned for a 6B. I hope that the 6 will work, because I really like this style.

This is my second pair of the New Balance Fresh Foam Arishi V4. I can always depend on New Balance for style and fit, since I need a wide width to accommodate my bunions and hammer toe.

I like these shoes, though I do not “love” them. The color looked much darker than the picture online. Also, the shoes are a bit too wide/roomy. That said, they’re high-quality shoes and I’ve gotten compliments on them.

At last, a comfortable and cute New Balance "running" shoe that doesn't look like all their other shoes! But it's only comfortable because I could take out the thinnest, flattest insole I've ever seen and replace it with good insoles that had built in arch and metatarsal supports. Nice enough to wear out to lunch without looking like you're going to run a marathon.

Toe bed was a little too shallow for me. Otherwise, they were very comfortable. May just need a larger size.

This shoe would probably work in a 9.5 if available. I ordered my usual athletic shoe size - 9, which is a half size larger than my 8.5 in street shoes. They also felt a bit narrower than a Medium, which could work for me as I need a narrower shoe.

I absolutely love the shoes! I only reduced a star in my review, because I could tell the shoes had been returned. The bottom of the shoes were a bit dirty and the box was beat up. Also there wasn't much tissue inside the box with the shoes. Still, the inside and the top of the shoes look brand new so I am keeping them. They are beautiful and I absolutely love them! They fit great and they give me just enough support.

I wear size 6 1/2. My toes rubbed on the tow box. Going to try and get a wide width. Otherwise very nice,

the insoles were a bit thin for my liking.

I'm an 8 and usually size up to an 8.5 for sneakers. I needed a size 9 for the shoe to properly fit. I also ordered a wide (I'm usual a normal) which helped also.

Learned that one of my feet is a half-full size larger than the other so i sized up and my smaller foot isnt sliding all over the place. I also chose this brand because of a naturally wider toe box. I put in my own inserts because the original ones give little to no support for what I need. Hoping they hold up!

Ordered my normal size 8, there was plenty of room in the rounded toe box for my toes and thicker cotton Jockey socks. Ordered a Wide so my orthotic insoles would hopefully fit and they did. But my heels are not wide and would slip as took steps. There's a removable insole in these that is so thin it's not much use in providing cushioning or support. The arch support in these are pretty flat and I would need my orthotic insoles to fit in them for actual arch support. I'm returning this 8W and have already ordered replacement in 8B.
