NB Shoe sizes vary: my review

Was a size 11 1/2 NB Vazee shoe. I thought the size 11 1/2 in 1165v1 would be the same but I had to go to size 12. I love comfortable shoes. For walking 3-4 miles a day (size 12).

Pros
  • I love it so far! I will update the expiration information in a few months.
Cons
  • The black and silver color may not be for everyone.

Good shoes for wide feet

These are really comfortable shoes for people with wide feet. The only problem is that the laces don't tie very well. I have to tie them several times a day, which is not typical for me with my other three shoes for everyday use. Suitable for everyday use and sports.

Pros
  • The fit is not as comfortable as my previous New Balance shoes.
Cons
  • Too tight for my taste. The foam padding was terrible.

Excellent walking shoes in my review

Great shoes. Very comfortable and great for walking. A little undersized. I just reordered a size larger. Great value for money and very well made.

Pros
  • Comfortable, fits very well. decent view. 13 4E, underpronation shoes are hard to find.
Cons
  • Shoes can be heavy and cause fatigue when worn for long periods of time.

Almost perfect in my opinion.

One item that most people don't want to buy online is shoes. So many things can go wrong and the most important thing is alignment. I am completely satisfied with the New Balance Fresh Foam 1165 V1 hiking shoes. The product is comfortable, breathable and lightweight and fits perfectly. I will definitely consider this seller and the type of shoes if I need a replacement.

Pros
  • This shoe is very comfortable. Fits like a glove and looks great.
Cons
  • Shoes may not be suitable for those who need a lot of ankle support.

A little tight for 4E. May be.

Very comfortable, light and stylish shoes. "Fresh foam" is worth its weight in gold. Super soft and supportive. I rely on shoes with soles wider than my foot as I have a supination problem from an injury. These don't even exist. Maybe they would be right if they gave this pair a 6E, but I think shoe width is so neglected that no two shoes are alike, even when rated with the same width rating. I have 4E shoes and boots that are perfect. I have some that fit like regular shoes. for example, whoโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Always liked
Cons
  • Quality

Not as soft as I thought

I am currently running at New Balance and wanted a specific hiking shoe. When I discovered that New Balance has specific hiking shoes, I thought I'd try one of these models. Bought the 1165 because it had good reviews and wasn't as clunky/bulky as some of the others. I just received these shoes and have ridden 15.5 miles in the past few days. I didn't find them to be that comfortable at first, but they seem to get more comfortable as I put on more miles. This differs from their running shoes as

Pros
  • Easy to understand even for old people
Cons
  • Modern

I like the understated style. I designed them as casual everyday shoes. I love the highly breathable upper which helps keep my feet cool. I like the foam sole. It offers good cushioning and, despite the complaints in the test, feels stiff and flexes comfortably on the foot. However, it is at least half a size shorter than my New Balance 992. Both are 10.5 2E, but the fit is very different. This is immediately perceptible to the senses. Or by side-by-side visual comparison. Model 1165 isโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Nice item
Cons
  • Updates

"Fresh foam " at least

It wasn't what I expected at all. They fit well and are a good shoe, but the hype and reviews about how 'soft' they are are misleading in my opinion. The soft foam in the inner lining is about 3/16 of an inch, and the Fresh Foam midsole feels just as minimal. It has very little arch support and no midfoot support. I think these are the first shoes I've bought in 30 years that didn't feel great on my foot from the start including the Florsheim Riva shoes which I wear every day. My old wornโ€ฆ

Pros
  • New in my collection
Cons
  • Long wait

Not my definition of comfort.

The shoes were smaller than expected so I had to send them back. I ordered the size I usually wear but these were too small. I'm not tall but I have wide feet so I'm used to my shoes being tight. They hurt me and I wouldn't walk in them. I sent them back and bought a half size larger in width. They seem to be more expensive than the quality you get. Got a new size and have been using it for over a week at the time of writing this review. They are 9 1/2 wide and they fit. They are heavier than I

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • Some small things

A box with a narrow tip for a wide presentation - an eye-catcher.

I already have NB shoes, size 11.5 2E wide. I need wide shoes and after reading the reviews that they can run small I ordered two different sizes - 11.5 2E and 12 4E, adding a half size and a little more width. The design of these shoes features a narrow toe. The middle is nice and wide, but the tip tapers right where your toes are. My toes don't point, they're as wide as my foot! Consequently, on the 11.5 2E, my thumb rubbed the side of the shoe where the toe tapers. 12 4E are too spacious. In

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • Negative present
