Review on ๐Ÿ‘Ÿ Fresh Foam Tempo V1 Running Shoe by New Balance for Women by Anthony Woolley

Revainrating 1 out of 5

too tight, unconventional size for New Balance

I love New Balance and will continue to buy their shoes but this product is literally the worst. I like fresh foam as it helps a little with the pressure on my feet/ankles. I have several old sports injuries that flare up from time to time and fresh foam shoes are best for the pain that sometimes accompanies them. These shoes made the pain worse. I bought the right size based on what I always buy from New Balance and based on the reviews it should fit. Every time I put them on, it felt like something was pinching my heel. After walking around the house for a bit, I decided it wasn't that bad, so I left my shoes on. Mistake #1. One day I started walking my dog outside in the park, on the streets, etc. I found that the boot pinched and cut my foot. I was hoping that I would just have to break them in and that I wouldn't spend money on a $60 pair of shoes. So I took her to my relatives on vacation, hoping that they would feel more comfortable on the trip. Mistake 2. After my first family walk with the dog, I got such terrible blisters that I went to the local sporting goods store, threw $120 for a new pair of shoes, and threw those shoes in the trash. I have never had an experience like this with New Balance shoes and I hope I never will again or I will have to reconsider my brand loyalty.
