🏃 Power Through Your Run with New Balance Women's Zante Running Shoes and Athletic Footwear Review

This Zante v4 is about a quarter to a half smaller than all other Zante models. I got tired of running in them because all my other versions of Zante are 7.5, but they gave me a nice blister on my second toe. They also felt bulkier. I guess it doesn't matter as they are no longer made.

I am happy with my new shoes. They are comfortable and look good. I'm a size 9.5B (medium) which is the same size I wear in my Brooks Ghost and Nike Fly Lunar jerseys. I wear a size 9 in Adidas Boost, for reference. A size 9.5 gives me some room in length (I don't like my toes touching the edges) and the toe box is roomy enough, which I like. The shoes are made in Vietnam.

The shoe is comfortable and light but I couldn't get it to work with the size. I'm between 8 and 8.5; 8 was too small, 8.5 was a little too small and 9 (yes I tried all 3) was too big. The worst thing about these shoes is the fabric dimples on the toe and every step slaps and slaps my toe! Very annoying, I couldn't imagine walking in it. Also, I've noticed that I'm constantly in shock when I wear them? Nice shoes, comfortable foam and good arch support, but it didn't work.
