New Balance Womens Running Summer Sports & Fitness and Running Review

I've been walking in these shoes for a few days and I really like them! They're comfortable and stylish in neutral. My only complaint is that the laces are very thin and it hurts to tie my hands. I haven't tried swapping them out, but it turns out the lace holes are very small and may not fit regular laces.

I usually get a 7.5 or 8 in NB. I ordered 8 in these and could have gone with 7.5. The box is good for a slightly wider foot. They are incredibly light. There is minimal arch support. The colors are very neutral and would look great at the gym or with jeans. They're great for running all day, but I wouldn't run long distances in them. There's not a ton of padding to cushion impact.

Very nice! My only complaint is that I don't have a lot of arch support, but I have large arches so this may not be an issue for others. I love how light they are. There is enough room in the toe box for my toes to bend and move. And the outer mesh protects my feet from overheating. Best of all, my toes don't freeze while walking or running. Hooray! I usually find it very difficult to find the right running shoes, so I'm very happy with them.

I bought these specifically to wear while running on the treadmill. These shoes are terrible. Zero support in the sole. No spring, no damping, no sag. They have thin hard soles. Not what I expected from New Balance and definitely not suitable for running. I feel like I wasted my money. They look great and appear to be well made. The sole is just stiff and doesn't support/cushion. You probably have to spend more money on insoles to be able to wear them while exercising. .
