Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam Cruz v1

Exactly what I was looking for! I got a half size larger as other reviewers suggested. Glad I listened. I want to mention that the floral pattern is not identical on the right and left foot.The color scheme is the same, but the floral placement is quite different. The way the shoe is depicted online does not give you that information. I find it appealing. My 4 daughters in their 20's love them, want them, and think they are cool. The actual shoe reflects what you see online and the "N" on the side is subtle. Lastly, Shopping with Zappos is a wonderful experience. Free shipping. Free EASY returns. I do not find many companies that actually pleasantly do what they promise.

My feet are a mess...narrow heels, bunion surgery, hammer toes--a nightmare! But these shoes are just great and I look down and see someone else's feet! The soft top of the shoe is like a thick sock so no rubbing. Because you slip into them, no heel slipping. And they come in a wide width. I'm normally a 7.5 in a wide but the 8 wide in this is perfect. Have worn them to an exercise class and just walking around. Happy as can be.

Super Cute however, my high instep made it impossible to be able to get these shoes on my foot. Not sure what the laces are for other than looks. Sadly these have to be returned.

I wear a 7.5 to 8 and ordered an 8 in the white floral. It fits perfectly. Very comfortable and the first day I wore them, I got several compliments from total strangers. So cute!

LOVE the look of these shoes. Was so excited because they fit so perfectly. I ended up having to return them after noticing the sole has no support under the toes, and is very high under the heel, so my feet were constantly sliding down at an angle, which hurt my toes. Had to return.

Was super iffy on which size to order as some people say it’s too small and others say it fits just right. I am a true size 6 and I have pretty narrow feet. I went ahead with a size 6 and they fit snug width wise and fit TTS size wise. Luckily i like my sneakers fitting pretty snug so it doesn’t bother me at all. If you are a true size in whatever you are and DO have narrow feet, you should be fine! I’m glad I didn’t size up.

These are awesome. I had to return to get a 10 wide vs a 91/2 wide. They feel like your foot has slipped into a custom glove. I have bunions and also need a deep enough toe box and these are perfect. 2 pairs for me.

Love these shoes! Super cute and casual for running errands or wearing with a pair of jeans. I would not run in them or use them for athletic shoes since there is no support but they are adorable and comfy. I am always a true size 8 and I had to return these for the 8.5 because they run small.

First I ordered the white floral and I LOVE them, so cute! The black floral is also very cute so I ordered them too. Based on reviews I ordered my original size 9, pretty perfect. However I ordered wide, which I normally don't. Again based on reviews I felt safe ordering wide. They are somewhat roomy but actually so comfortable I feel I ordered right. I don't have a narrow foot, more to the wide side and these worked for me. I agree with another viewer that the patch of black that comes up the sides with a N on it takes away a bit from the overall pattern, same with the white, there is a plain patch of white with a N on it. If I could I would cut those off. Another thing, the ties are USELESS, simply decoration. These are pull on shoes. Enjoy the shoes, they really are great.

I'm normally a size 8 1/2 but often size up to a 9 1/2 on running shoes. Based on the reviews, I sized up to a 9 hoping they would fit. Too tight. :o( Should have stuck to my gut. :o/

Had to return for 1 while size larger

Fun style! Perfect fit! Really comfortable. Bought them in black & white, so glad that I did! Great price too!

I bought these for my 95-year-old Mama. She loves the fit and the steady support.

I fell in love with the white floral and the black floral prints. The shoes fit wonderful and are easy to walk in for long distances. I wear a size 6 shoe and New Balance is very true in their sizing. I look forward to wearing the white floral Fresh Foam Cruz v1 on a walking trip in Seattle.

I love these sneakers. They are so comfortable and stylish! I added insoles to get a little additional arch support

I've been looking for a comfy walking shoe since I had bunion surgery over a year ago. The fact that this comes in Wide is great. I got the colorful pair, with the flowers and flamingos. They are bright and cute, fun shoes to wear around. I'm not a runner, so can't comment on how they would work for that, but the are comfortable and fun shoes to wear to the gym or running errands. They are VERY light and fit like a glove. The body of the shoe is like a soft sock that laces around the insole. Very happy with the purchase.

These are EXTREMELY comfortable shoes with LOTS of toe box room. I read the reviews and as for the difficulty in getting them on, I can say, the 1st try was more challenging. After that, pretty easy if you hang on to the loop at the heel (so the back won't go down inside the shoe) and push your toes in as far as you can, just pull on the loop and voila! they are on your feet! And sooo easy to just slip off your feet. The only SLIGHT negative I can say is that after 6 hours of shopping Costco, Walmart and Grocery etc., i had a very tiny pressure point on the left shoe up at my ankle, right of the fake tongue where the inside seam is. I'm not very concerned about that given all my surgeries and how long I wore them today - No biggie. Again, VERY VERY comfortable and so cute! I really wanted the white ones as well, but sadly still out of stock :(

Happy summer shoe!! Got the black floral/tropical print. FAB design that gets a billion compliments and especially looks awesome when channeling Mr. Cash in an all-black outfit. Went a half-size up w/ regular width, but even with my wide foot, these are still pretty roomy. (Wondering if I could have kept with my usual sneaker size?) Nonetheless... very cushy/comfy and was happy to find the top material isn't completely porous on summer's finest torrential rainy days. Sweet goodness from New Bal. here!! Thanks, Z's! :D

Love them felt somewhat long afraid if I get smaller size it would be to hard to slip on. Sending back??

Colors are not true to the picture

Still wear this all the time after a couple years. Hope they last a long time.
