Review on New Balance 940V4 Running Magnet Men's Shoes for Athletic by Matthew Seamster

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Waste of money good for me

Firstly, to be honest, I didn't buy the 940 off ebay. Every time I buy a new model for the first time, I buy it at my local running store. That way I know I'm getting the right form. He has been with New Balance for almost 20 years. In the past, comfort and quality came first. Unfortunately, in recent years New Balance has traded quality for profit. They started using cheap nets to save money. The problem is that the mesh is not strong and you end up with toe holes in the mesh. The cheaper the mesh, the quicker holes appear. The gray shoe is a 1260 model that I've owned for a few years. The black shoe is a 940 which I've had for a few months now. When I contacted New Balance they replied that either the shoes were the wrong size or I bought the wrong shoes for my surgery. As recommended at the beginning, I bought them in a running store. If these shoes wear out and New Balance doesn't fix their design, I'll try another brand of shoes. Sad.

Pros
  • It would be very convenient if they weren't too big. Probably wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for stability.
Cons
  • They didn't seem to be the same size as the other New Balance shoes I own. I returned it.
