Review on Black New Balance 847V3 Walking Shoes by Hector Mak

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Not as good as the previous version V2!

I used to have two pairs of New Balance 847V2 men's running shoes that I had worn out. Imagine my surprise when I found out that they stopped releasing version 2 and released the V3 model. I can't say I'm a fan at all. I ordered the same size as before (13EE) and after riding about 25 miles I found that at one point just ahead of the cuboid this new pair is not as wide as the V2. The left shoe rubbed my foot on the side where the inseam meets the sole. Also, for some strange reason, New Balance decided to put a white label with black lettering on top of the tongue of the shoe. The previous V2's label was black with white lettering and matched the black sneaker much better, while this new version's label sticks out like a thumb. I ended up using a black marker to hide the white part of the tag.

Pros
  • Made in the USA
Cons
  • I won't say anything
