Find a different NB shoe

They look great but are the most uncomfortable new balances I’ve ever worn. They are not soft to walk on and the back inner heel material is some sort of cheap plastic/fake leather material that is HORRIBLE. It gives you blisters, makes noises when you walk, and just completely ruins the shoe. First pair of new balances I’ve bought that I have been absolutely disappointed with.

Not For Walking

Bought these for a vacation where I expected to do a lot of walking…big mistake. They have zero arch support, rubbed against my ankles and caused blisters, and the narrow toe box left my feet sore. I couldn’t wait to kick them off!

Too Tight

Ordered same size 6 as other New Balance, unfortunately these are too tight on the foot and feel very uncomfortable. Also extremely hot for a sneaker.

Clunky wear.

The shoe is really stiff and rubs awkwardly around the back heel and ankle.

Love the look but run small/tight & narrow toebox

These run small and are very narrow in the toebox. They look great I love them and the materials are awesome but I’m normally a 10.5 or 11 and I got an 11 and they’re very tight on me. Can’t tell if they run small or just super narrow. And I don’t have a wide foot, I’ve never had to buy a wide/EE fit sneaker.

Surprising Quality

Been a Nike guy for as long as I can remember. Got these to change it out and was blown away by how much better the materials are when compared to Nike. Solid shoe for sure.

Good shoes

Overall a comfortable good looking shoe. Hope it’s not discontinued. I like the materials overall, would also like a USA option but the price point is good.
