Nice shoe, support but runs small - i normally wear a 6 and i bought a 7 just in case - still too small. Would have tried a larger size but was not given that option online - just to return it

I loved them, but, just didn't have the support i need.

I'm disappointed that this particular shoe does not have the cushion that "fresh foam" and description implies. It's a substantial shoe which holds your foot in place but not enough cushion.

I always get the fresh foam running shoes. In the older models I have, the mesh molded more comfortably to my feet. These new ones feel like the mesh has been reinforced with hard material where it connects to the sole, and they feel less flexible. My toe nails feel sore after I've had them on a couple hours, so I have to take them off.

Comfort and support but a bit hard/rough on the top of my foot/toe. Size is appropriate but other series are better for running. This is a good cross training shoe.

I had to return these super plush shoes because the material around the ankle bends inward making it rub against the ankle. I had to return them.

I loved the shoes but they were almost a full size too small for me. Had to send them back.

Good looking shoe; comfortable heel but cuts into ankles so returning. In terms of fit, my feet are narrow/medium, and width was about right. Would need 1/2 size larger for toe box.

Cute exterior, but very little support and they really do run small. I love New Balance but these are a miss.

The top of the shoe opening panel, where the last lace hole is located, digs into my ankle bone. It's like they completely ignored that part of the foot anatomy when designing this shoe. I can see other New Balance designs that leave that area open. Returning!

Not much cushion and support as the Propell style in NewBalance. They are similar to that very cheap material walmart shoes are made of.

This shoe was supposed to be wide but is visibly more narrow than my previous NB shoes.

Normally, I'm a big fan of New Balance but I was surprised with this shoes because it looked like a kid shoes. I needed to check the size again. It felt real tight.

Shoe was a bit too deep for me. I have prominent ankle bones and the collar rubbed them.

rocker bottom sole. my fault I didn't catch in description. It is a very deep rocker sole. Not good for an older senior.

This pair of shoes, or the left shoe I should say, felt lumpy. The shoe on the left had hardly any cushion under the ball of the foot, whereas the right shoe did feel good overall throughout the sole with good cushion. It is not a support shoe that is for sure, but a good slipper shoe for those not needing much support. Had to return them for the uneven and lumpy soles and lack of cushion distribution on the left shoe.

I really wanted but it has small torn places between the 4th & 5th tie string holes, near the end of the tongue.

Shoe came previously warn and thrown in the box. Although they seem very comfortable, they are going back. The color not as pictured - it’s a dull dingy gray.

These sneakers look nice and are comfy but after wearing them only maybe 10 times they already have a hole in the toe.
