Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam Roav v1

Was very disappointed as these are my second pair. There is redundant material in the toe on one shoe which is very annoying and not really fixable. The other shoes toe was partly separated so I fixed that with superglue. Otherwise the shoes are super comfortable. Quality has taken a backseat maybe?

I like the shoes but they are tight for being a wide size. Not happy how they fit but it is all that I have at this time.

I guess I didn't realize that "bootie" meant no tongue or ability to adjust the shoe across the top of your foot. This type of shoe never fits my feet. Had to return. Generally, I love my New Balance shoes. I've had too many pairs to count. This is the first time I had an issue.

I purchased the Olive Green Colorway. They are not olive like the in the picture. They are a lighter shade of green. The shoe is very comfortable and true to size. Just wish they looked like the picture.

The wide width is still pretty narrow and does not fit compared to other brands wide width sizes.

I ordered wide and the are very tight

I love New balance shoes, have had over 20 pair's But this one is not for me, if I was doing shape pivoting the ankle support would dig into the my ankles

Shoe runs small, but is comfortable enough. The back is oddly shaped and makes it hard to put on. I wore mine twice and the rubber at the bottom already had a rip. I probably wouldn't buy again.

Ordered the correct size, 10.5, but, literally, my toes are touching the front of the shoe, causing discomfort just walking. Absolutely no way someone could exercise in them. Very disappointed, don't feel like I got my money's worth.

I was too narrow .

I love new balance! I usually wear the new balance nergize foam core but that style doesn't have as many colors as the roav. I was excited to try the roav and bought the maroon in my normal new balance size-9. The roav were so tight I could hardly get them on. I wore them around the house to see if they would loosen up and both my feet went numb. I guess I'll have to go back to the nergize and just buy the plain colors. Such a bummer.

Much narrower toes than other brands that I wear (Columbia), but very comfortable sole. Also, my toes were wet after only a few steps walking on wet floor, while I can walk in light rain without getting wet with my other fully breathable sneakers.

I've never had a running shoe where there essentially was no "tongue". I'm not sure if all shoes made like this run small, but for me, this shoe did. Return was easy as we have a NB store in town

The Shoe doesn't have enough support for those who have foot problems

the ribbons that hold the base of the laces tore within the month, super flimsy, when I tried to resew it myself it completely shredded. I love the look and the comfort but it's useless if you can't tie it.

Read reviews and felt corrected size would fit. Runs about a half size smaller than normal size. Had no arch support and that was one of the reasons I selected New Balance. Haven't had a pair of NB in years. Returned without trying another size.

Walking

I love the color and mesh top. I felt the heels did not provide the support I needed for running. When I tried them for the first time, I felt the soles were not even. It feels like one heel is higher than the other when I tried them on. I went to the gym and tried them out and determined they are great for walking and lesiure wear but not for high performance. I ordered my regular size 10 and felt if I ordered.5 up they would be too big and heel would not be supported. I will probably use these as part of my rotation for recovery workouts. They handled weight floor workouts fine and power moves but not treadmill runs- felt very flat and lacking in arch/heel support.

I own multiple pairs if this shoe, these are made much smaller/ tighter. They are not the same fit as the styles from last year.

Need a wide shoe,,which we ordered,,but the tongue was sewn down,,so opening is not big enough to get wide foot into

NB was my go to shoe. After a 12 hour shift with these my feet were killing me. Only wore them once

Cute but so uncomfortable. The tongue is one piece with the upper shoe and there's no way to loosen it and it's way too tight after about 15 minutes of wearing. Also, didn't feel there was enough cushion in the heel and toe area on the bottom. The toe box area was generous in size. Unfortunately, had to return.

I bought the Fresh Foam roav. Love the way they look and they are extremely comfortable but, I bought the black/grey and just over 2 months I started to get a hole in both shoes right where the tip of your big toe is. This is the mesh part. Very very disappointed . I have 2 others who I know with this same issue. If this problem was fixed it would be the best shoe ever but extremely disappointed especially since they cost around $80

This my 4th pair of the foam roav they have been my go to for sometime. I was excited to get this new pair and was surprised I could barely get them on. Ordered my usual 6 1/2 and they fit more like a 5 1/2- it was almost like they were designed to wear without a sock they were so tight.

Too tight even though I ordered a wide. Had to give to my mom because I didn't want to go through return process during the holidays.
