New Balance Porcelain Men's Shoes - Natural Sneaker in Fashion Sneakers Review

I bought these shoes because my previous New Balance men's 501 V1 sneaker had been out of Revain for a while and they had a similar look. I mainly use them for running and working out in the gym. However, I would not recommend them for use in the gym. Some of the exercises I do include standing on the edge of the platform and various TRX workouts and these shoes are slippery with poor traction. I would recommend the 501 V1 but not this 311 V2.

The sole of this 4E model, also called Extra Wide, is very narrow compared to the NB 990 and NB 993. for those who need that very wide shoe.

Short in length but normal in width. Go up half a size. Very thin shoe without sole support. You feel everything you step on. Good for walking on carpets in the house as it is a comfortable shoe.

Compared to my 574 they are very thin and light. If that's what you're looking for, they're great. If you are looking for a stiffer shoe construction, you may find that they are too light.

This is the classic NewBalance design that I prefer. Low profile, clean lines. These are good light summer shoes. What I like best is the deep rich navy color of the upper and the tonal logo. The sole could be stronger/more reliable.
