Review on New Balance 411V1 Running Black Sports & Fitness by John Jones

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Made in Indonesia New Balance

I thought NB shoes were still made in the USA. No, Indonesia. Soft sole, not my preference. The wide ones fit my platypus legs. Many reviews mention the separation of the sole from the boot - an unacceptable design flaw. I will update this when mine separates. I'm keeping them even though the black-on-black model looks like something from a nursing home. orthopedic shoes. The removable sole pad is flat, there is no high instep in it, most likely the sole insert needs to be replaced. If someone has flat arches these shoes are fine for running, but if someone has medium arch height they definitely need to shell out another ten shells for better insoles, and if someone has high arches (e.g. in the National Arches Park in Utah), and then switch to a different shoe. All in all, cheap price, cheap shoes.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Not as thick as other models
