Customer Reviews New Balance Hanzo S v2

I love these shoes. Love the color. The shoe's tongue sometimes doesn't lay flat so it can pinch but I just have to watch it when I tie them up. Not well cushioned on the sole area so long walks make for rather sore feet. BUT because it's New Balance...they feel broken in the first time you wear them!

These shoes feel and look great. I liked them so much I immediately bought another pair.

There is so much to love about these running shoes! They are my first ever pair of NB. They are the most lightweight running shoe I’ve ever tried on. They are low profile, yet are cushioned enough that I don’t feel barefoot. The grip on the soles is excellent. They mold to your foot and move with you. And the colors are just amazing. My only complaint is that the sizing is way off. I’m almost always a 6.5 and rarely a 7 in running shoes. But these ran a whole size too small for me. I had to order 3 different sizes before I found the 7.5 to be just right, no pinching on my toes. They hug my feet, which are very narrow, so these sneakers definitely won’t work for wide feet. I can’t wait to take them out on my 4 mile runs and also on the stair climber.

I love these shoes! They fit perfectly and they're ridiculously cute too!

I should have listen to the previous reviews and ordered a half size larger than normal. I had to return and trade it for half size larger. But Zappos was great about the exchange. I do like the shoe as it allows me to feel the ground when running. It runs a little narrow through the toe box but because I have a narrower foot, it isn't a problem for me. Great traction on the sole. I will buy it again.

I'm normally a 7 1/2 but I size up a half step for sneakers. I found that the sneakers were still too small. Everything else about the sneaker I love, especially the tred on the bottom.

The toe box was narrow compared to what I was used to with the new balance trail minimus. Too narrow for me, will return.

I typically run in the New Balance women's Minimus but decided to give this shoe a try. It's incredibly light! I ordered a half-size larger than usual because I planned to wear thin socks. I'm returning the Hanzo because my big toe rubbed on the top of the shoe. This could be my foot and not the shoe. My observations on this shoe are: seems pretty narrow; full coverage on the foot (probably won't let in small rocks like the Minimus does; very light; cute; just a tiny bit of cushion, which is nice; but not for me.

I prefer lightweight and more minimal shoes. I was looking for something for walking mostly on pavement. I got half a size smaller than normal for me and they were still to small. The look is great I like how lightweight they are but the toe area is way too narrow for me to be comfortable in a size that would stay on my foot.

Not a good running shoe.
