Review on πŸƒ Experience Optimal Trail Running Performance with New Balance Men's Fresh Foam Arishi V1 Trail Running Shoe by Gary Revils

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Stay away from New Balance. You don't care anymore.

I bought men's boots 9.5x wide. I've worn New Balance for over ten years. These shoes are terrible. Let's start with the tongue. Probably everyone at some point in their life has had a crappy cheap pair of shoes and never had their tongue on top of their foot. The tongue is pinched so tightly I can look down and see my socks between the laces. You also feel pain in the tip of your foot. You'll spend half an hour laying your tongue flat and possibly getting comfortable. The toe feels tighter than usual. Maybe that's because of the advertised toe protection. Finally, the final straw for me was that the foam interior is covered in what appears to be red plastic or rubber with the New Balance branding on it. I didn't really think about it at first, but after half an hour of normal walking (zero walking) I felt a rock under my heel. I rip open the shoes and find a red ball worn from their cheap foam insert. Shortly thereafter, I started feeling the same thing on my left leg. Low quality clean garbage. If the person who made them has legs, they must hate New Balance customers. These shoes are terrible. There is no excuse for the condition and wear and tear of these shoes.

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • Zero
