Review on New Balance Arishi Running Gunmetal Men's Shoes and Athletic by Mario Beats

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good leisure shoes - my new test report

I bought them as casual shoes and will not walk in them. That being said, I bought them for the looks and fit. I always need wide shoes and was disappointed to find that they are only offered in very wide shoes. But I'll always side with the ultra-wide over the regular, in which case I'm glad I did. They're definitely wider than I prefer, but since they're designed for everyday use, that doesn't bother me yet. I returned 9.5 for 9 but I'm always either one or the other even with the same brand. My leg definitely swam in 9.5 seconds. Very light and with good grip. Can be used for spontaneous hikes. I hit a puddle the other day and didn't feel any moisture. My only other downside besides the sizing is the Freshfoam screenprint on the brown "guard". Seems completely unnecessary and I would remove it if I could figure out how. Also, it is mostly sold at a cheap price with a wide range of colors.

Pros
  • Good shoes
Cons
  • Shoes may not be suitable for people with high arches.
