Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam X 1440

Felt good but did not prefer the style

These look nice, but were a bit loose on my foot

It is great color and design, but they are very small. Sorry I have to return it.

Run half size smaller than it said.

This shoe is a slip-on with a sewn in tongue. I could barely fit my wide, high-arch foot into this size 9. Ditto for size 10. Both were too tight to use with my custom orthotic insert. Blue shoe is SO PRETTY though, really wanted this to work.

Returend this shoe becuase the toe box seems to be cut oddly. This was true for several NB shoes that I ordered and returned. Just walking around in them as a try in I felt that my big toe would soon be uncomfortable and rubbing. The length and width seemed 'correct' but the shoe just seems to be made in a different way. I have been a loyal NB customer and this has been a disappointment. Hope it is a glitch on the way in their styles.

I had tried my normal size which pinched my toes, so tried 1/2 size larger and now they're too long and apparently the design forces your foot forward into the toebox, pinching my toes yet again even though they were longer. I kept the first pair and use them for cycling - for which they work great as your foot is sitting horizontally.

They’re pretty light. Not super supportive.

Would be comfortable if it were larger.

They were comfortable, but the bottoms wore out very quickly with average wear.

They are a very comfy shoe but because of the style that doesn't really allow them to be loosened they were tight getting them on. It was more of a challenge than I care to deal with until they would loosen up some from regular use. Sorry to be returning them. Beautiful color and very comfy once I got them on.

This shoe was super cute, and while I wasn't purchasing for running (more of an everyday shoe), I had to send them back. I have worn countless pairs of Fresh Foams for running, and ALWAYS wear a 10.5. The toe box was WAY to snug but there is no way I could go up a size because my heels are sliding. It's like the actual toe box is too short or something. Disappointing. Look wise, they are exactly what I was looking for.

The fit is marginal. The design causes blistering below outside ankle. They look nice but are not comfortable for lengthy walks

I kind of liked the style but probably needed the 7.5 wide. Unfortunately, that wasn't available. This 7.5 medium wasn't much different in terms of toe room / height that the 7 wide. Also, this was a little soft in the sole for my tastes. The Fuel Cell Propel v4 size 7.5 wide was better for me.

Not wide enough to accommodate brace.

I wear a size 10 so I ordered 10 1/2. This felt like a 91/2!! This is at least the third time I have had to return a sneaker because the sizing isn’t right. What’s happening??

Always buy new balance because I know my size and fit are always great. These were smaller and narrower than they should have been.

These are great looking. Sadly, they have terrible support, even though they are very cushioned. I even tried putting an orthotic in to support my arch. I will wear these only when I will not be doing a lot of walking. Felt like my plantar fasciitis was going to kick in after wearing this.... wanted to like them, but sadly they are not for me.

These shoes are cute, but sadly, there is ZERO support. They feel like the cheap-o shoes you can pick up at your local discount store. I bought them to wear with my dark scrubs at work. Nope. They have to go back because they would never offer any support for standing on my feet all day. Additionally, as some other reviews mention, the tongue is completely attached so they must be forced onto your foot with two hands. I don’t mind, but I can see how it might be problematic for some.

I have special foot issues so I was in hopes that they would be more comfy on the inside.. it was not cushioned enough

shoe was too "squishy" and came up too high and rubbed against my ankles

These shoes look great and I really wanted them to fit like all my other New Balance athletic shoes--always a perfect 7-1/2 until these. They are also hard to put on bc of the permanent shoe opening (if that makes sense). They do not spread open like normal but have an elastic piece on both sides with the tongue in a permanent, non-moving position. If you don't own a shoe horn it will be impossible to get on!!! Once I did get them on, they felt very snug and short. Returning.

Very, very disappointed in these shoes. Weird arch support and there's a part right under the ankle that is hard and so high up that it rubs against my ankle bone, which caused a blister after the first time I took a walk in them. It was too late to return them after that, so I bought an insert to lift my foot and hopefully that will help. I would not recommend these shoes. Not worth the money.

Fit was surprisingly small for New Balance. Cushioning felt clunky and hard to run in.
