Nice shoe but the size was too small so buy one size bigger unfortunately am a size 12 and I bought size 12 but it was extremely tight and I tried to exchange it but no luck so am going to give it away.

I am a women’s 9.5/10 in New balance and these fit slightly larger than most. There is no cushion at all, especially compared to New Balance More and 1080. I would go for those if you want any comfort. This style looks really nice but feels cheaper. Did provide space for my wide forefoot and snug on the heel. Spend more in new balance and you really do gain more comfort in padding and ergonomic fit.

Shoe size was fine but there was far less arch and heel support than I expected.

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'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.

I have these exact same shoes in a different color and they are perfect, so I purchased these thinking they would be the same,however the side of the shoe sits up right on my ankle bone so that's all I can feel is them rubbing my ankle bone and it's annoying! The other shoes exact same kind but in a different color don't do this! Weird so I returned them

I have 3 other NB Fresh Foam sneakers in the same size that fit well and are comfortable. This pair of Arishi v4 is shorter in length and width even with ordering my usual 1/2 size larger. There is vertically no arch and the heal is uncomfortable. The entire foot bed is just harder and not as much cushion. I love the look and color but will have to return for something else. Wish NB would keep the sizes true to size and not change. It makes it really hard to figure out which size is right when ordering online.

I wanted to like these but my toe hit the end. Very hard shoes, not flexible, no idea what the foam does as the shoe felt stiff and hard.

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.
