Odd fit all around

29 November 2018 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

I bought the extra wide (4E) version of this shoe. The shoes fit a bit tight in length, width, and especially height. New Balance always seem to be a bit small for me. I have also typically purchased leather sneakers and have just recently started adapting to the new "cheaper-feeling" mesh shoes. Knowing these things going in, it is difficult to judge how much tighter this shoe fits comparably to others by the brand. With this disclaimer, here's what I found:

The shoe laces had to be loosened substantially to allow the top of my foot into the shoe. The toe box pinched both my big and "pinky" toes. The mesh does expand to allow my foot to fully slip into the shoe, but being relatively new to this material, I'm unsure how far I "should" let the mesh stretch?

These are supposed to be "cushioning" shoes, but they did not seem very well cushioned. The molding of the inner-sole seemed convex (or bulging) rather than concave, resulting in the bottom of the shoe pressing into the ball of my foot.

The "comfort insert" pulled out of the right shoe when I removed my foot. There was adhesive on the insert, so I don't know if is designed to come out that easily?

Update: I ordered a half size larger, in white, and that shoe is much looser, alleviating several of the problems experienced with my "regular size". However, I had to cinch up the laces to keep the larger size in place. All in all, I had trouble finding an ideal fit. I can't imagine these being good for walking any distance, let alone running.

I wouldn't recommend this shoe, but at under $20 the all-black version is not bad looking. You may want to size up and give it a try for yourself.

I have a pair of the NB Arishi Fresh Foam that suffer none of these issues (but IS pretty ugly). Good luck...

Beautiful light shoe with a bump in the middle

25 December 2018 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

The first time I wore these shoes they felt like soft slippers. Super light, very soft, felt great, almost like not wearing shoes at all and walking on grass. They also look nice and have soft cushioning behind the Achilles tendon, without causing any discomfort at all. After walking though with the shoes for about half an hour, I was bothered by a bump in the middle of the shoe, starting at the arch support and going all the way to the other side. It did not seem like a manufacturing defect, because both shoes have the same bump. I guess it may be a feature of this shoe and not bother most, but it felt uncomfortable to me. Too bad, because for the price I got this pair ($20) I do not believe I can find more comfortable and well constructed shoes than these.

Every Day Is My Birthday

Sneakers look like irregulars but are comfortable.

16 April 2019 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

I paid about $21 for a pair of the white sneakers from Amazon. I have wide feet so 4E or XW by New Balance have a nice comfortable fit.

However, if you paid more than $25, look elsewhere. New Balance used to be a high quality product and brand. The materials used for the sneakers are thin and flimsy and are wrapped in a loose fitting mesh. The entire front portion of the sneakers where the toes are to where the laces begin are all baggy. The sneakers look like irregulars. Maybe that's why they are priced at $21.

If you are an active person, I can see where your toes would rip right through the material if you were running. It's that thin.

I will still give these sneakers 3 stars because they do fit and are comfortable as walk around shoes. I deducted 1 star for the flimsy material. I deducted an additional star because the looseness of the material around the front of the sneakers shows lack of quality control by New Balance. It's a shame because this could have been a 4 star product.

One of my best shoes to wear for now!

28 September 2018 - Published on Amazon.com

Everything about these pair of shoes i like instead of one small thing, it is a little little bit small on the toe, but i can't blame the shoes since my toes are lengthy, i have a 31cm size foot, not enough to deduct even 1 star cuz the shoes really really look nice, if there was a 13.5 i would definitely go for it! amazing!

Light Weight

17 November 2018 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

I have arthritis in both ankles and have to wear lightweight shoes. I found them to be a little narrow but lightweight and comfortable. Its only been a day so my opinion may change.
Update: I wore them around the house for a day and when I woke up the 2nd day my little toe on one foot was sore and the midsole on the other was sore.
They run narrow and a tad short. I returned them.
