Review on πŸƒ Introducing New Balance Fresh Running Mercury Men's Shoes: The Ultimate Athletic Footwear by Nick Walker

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Unpredictable size. Runs small for NB.

I don't know what's going on with New Balance shoes this year. It seems to me that this year NB decided to reduce the shoe size by half an inch to save some money. My fast growing daughter needed a new pair of shoes so I bought the same pair I had in late 2019 but a size up. They fit much smaller than the size we replaced. At the same time I ordered this pair of NB shoes for my husband and he always wore size 14 NB shoes. He put this pair on and I could see his big toe sticking out right at the top of the boot. So I had to change them to a size 15 on NB shoes and change brands of tennis shoes and finally settled on a size 10 for my daughter at adidas where I had to find a size 12 for her at New Balance. I've always understood New Balance sizing and felt confident about ordering shoes online without trying them on first, but I can't do that anymore, which is quite inconvenient. Because of this, I cannot recommend this product to friends.
