Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam X More v4

On the images their sole colour is noble off-white with warm tinge. In reality it is cheap bleach white with ugly greyish stripe on the top that makes them look dirty.

Second pair I ordered that had a defect in the right shoe. Still waiting for a refund from the first pair

Too narrow. Had blister on toe after 30min. Ordered 1080v12. Cushion is terrible. Why do you keep changing ??

I ordered these twice & both times I have had to return them because of a manufacturing fault in the right shoe. I have never had this problem in the past. What happened to your quality assurance?

These shoes are to soft. When you step they condense down so much, and have no shape on top. My feet are killing me from these. Such a waste of money

I was super excited but I could only wear for 15 minutes the shoes were long and they have my a bad blister on my left heel.

I am a runner and Hoka has always been my brand. When my last pair of plush Hoka Bondis wore out and I needed a new pair, I noticed their prices had gone up a bit so I researched what other runners were saying about comparable shoes at a lower price. New Balance Fresh Foam came up so I looked at them. The price was not cheap by any stretch of the imagination but they were about $40 cheaper than the new Hoka Bondi 8. They also claimed to have about the same level all around construction....of course under their own lingo. So I bought them. I have tried them 3 times. After the first run, I only did 3 miles, my left knee could hardly take the pain. My toes were numb for the entire run as well. There should be no learning curve for comfort in a running shoe but I thought I would give it the benefit of the doubt so I did 2 comparison runs. The first I ran 1 mile in my old Hokas, paying close attention the whole time to the feel of my sole, my toes, my knees and hips. Although they have been through the ringer and not super plush after 500 plus miles in them, they still were OK on comfort. My joints were fine and my toes were just fine. I then rested briefly and ran the exact same mile in these NB Fresh Foams. After about 1 minute, my knee began to hurt again and my toes were numb. The 3rd time I used them on a walk. Same issues. I am definitely going to try to return and hope they cooperate with that even though the have been used these 3 times. We will see how that goes...
