Review on Enhance Your Athletic Performance with New Balance Fresh Running Aluminum Men's Shoes by Thong Lopez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Comfortable and attractive active shoes

UPDATE 1/30/20; on my third pair and didn't even think about other casual shoes. I rode them 20 miles a day, deadlifted 735 pounds with them and want to buy a fourth pair. Find the best fit/feel; - Durable insoles by Dr. Scholl - Round elastic laces (I don't use laces, wear them tight) - Saucony athletic socks (fits/stretches/supports better than Reebok in my opinion) ORIGINALREVIEW; To be clear the only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 now is the price. For $80 I wish the foam soled shoes had non slip soles. It will be a 5 star shoe for $65. General Review; I had a lot of shoes. I'm a very active tall guy and they're tougher than most. My first impression of these shoes is simply that they are perhaps the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn, slippers aside. Between work and cardio I'm gaining 25-30 miles a week and haven't had any issues for the first week so far. I will update if there are problems. PRO's; Shockingly comfortable. The design of these sneakers is outstanding and molds evenly to the foot with minimal effort. Springy step without suspension, walking requires minimal effort. maneuverability and lightness. Looks great. on NB shoes are always MUCH longer. I definitely don't have small feet and I always have at least 10-12 inches of lace left over on each side before tying, which means they untie 2-3 times a day if I'm doing something on my knees at work. Plan to replace or cut your shoelaces. (By the way, if you want to stand out, replace the traditional laces with elastic ones). The factory insert is useless as usual. Mine broke after the first day. I personally use Dr. Scholls Heavy Duty insoles in my shoes and they complement this pair perfectly.
