I didn't realize how bad my old shoes were until I bought these.

I average 20 miles a week at a pretty aggressive pace. I also add in a 45 minute elliptical workout every other day. My feet were starting to hurt and I thought I was overdoing it until someone said it was time for new shoes. Well, as soon as I put them on, I realized I needed new sneakers. I've had them for a few weeks now and they are my favorite sneakers. I only wish I had bought two for the price I paid. In any case, when they wear out, I'll probably replace them with the same ones…

Pros
  • Hands-free mode
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

oh my god one of the best shoes ever made

ok i have all nike air max shoes for $180 each i have yeezreels for $220 i have adidas ultrabooster for $180 these new $50 credit are more comfortable than them ALL the insoles are very cheap and i only took the ones from the nike vapormax running shoes to put in this shoe. These shoes are very light, they roll and propel like an Ultraboost, but without the hard carbon plate they're also softer. New Balances is also the only company to make the shoe extra wide, which is great for comfort. Will…

Pros
  • good product for its price
Cons
  • empty

Disappointment. Fresh foam is no longer a comfortable ride.

This is the second pair of Fresh Foam I bought in April. The reason is that the first pair I bought didn't have cushioning and were quite stiff underfoot. So I decided to try a different style and I just wore them on concrete for about an hour and a half and I'm sad to say that New Balance has lost its way. They're also stiff underfoot with very little or no cushioning. I've always loved the NB Fresh Foam range because it was so comfortable. No longer. Decreasing in size at first, they now…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Frequency

Not as long and wide as most New Balance 11 4E

I wore the New Balance 11 4E before and after knit/mesh became popular. With a jersey/mesh upper, the 4E feels wider than usual as it stretches. However, this model 11 is more like a 10 1/2 and the 4E more like a 2E. Instead of sending these shoes back, I prefer to wear them without socks. I have started buying all my shoes in knit/mesh construction as they are comfortable to wear all day. Most knit/mesh shoes are normally only sold in a 'regular' width as they stretch and I have had no problem

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • Doubtful

It's good to walk the dog.

Shoes look good and are relatively comfortable to wear. The problem is that I bought running shoes. The fit is decent and the shoe offers a good click when the toe is off the ground. This is where my positive comments end. The shoe doesn't hold the foot well, resulting in a lot of displacement on rough terrain (not off-road, but regular roads and sidewalks). I'm a fairly light midfoot runner (5ft 9in, 165lbs) but in these shoes I feel like I'm straining my knees with every step. I don't like…

Pros
  • Comfortable to wear
Cons
  • Transparency

Great find for my husband. He is very happy.

My husband has very wide feet and has trouble finding comfortable walking shoes. He has really severe diabetes and neuropathy in his legs, he needs extra space but not too much or he will get leg ulcers. These New Balance running shoes are perfect because they are very light. He said he literally felt like he was walking on air. The only downside is that we had to get two pairs of these when we bought them from Revane Prime on the day because when we came back to grab a second pair for later…

Pros
  • Excellent overall
Cons
  • Damaged

NB Superb Quality

Have been in/out of NB for about 20 years now. Whenever I do this I am amazed at the quality, comfort, stability and durability. I wonder why I don't just stay with them? Anyway, just got my 520v6 the other day (8/31/20), I usually wear an 11 and 1/2, although only an 11 and 1/2 XTRA were available, I took a chance and they are super comfortable. They look amazing and I've already done 2 outings, the cushioning, comfort and stability is second to none. I have flat feet if that helps anyone and…

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Zero
