I love these shoes. Since my first half marathon, I have been a NB girl and the light, easy, neutral 890 has been my shoe. They strayed from this one for a while, but the 890 is back and while I was concerned about the style changes with the v7, the fit was an instant hit. The heel looks crazy, but it feels wonderful. I'm super fussy about fit and cannot even feel that little tab in the back. When fitted for shoes the first time at the NB store, I was told that the shoe should cup the heel comfortably and allow the toes to wiggle freely. These shoes do exactly that, even better than the other versions I have had in the past. They are balanced, provide shock absorption without being squishy, and are also very cute to wear (least important, but a bonus). I am looking forward to training in these.

These shoes are very cute. Top and sides are mesh, I can see my colored socks. I'm going to use them at the gym and they will be inside only. Would not recommend as daily shoes as they're likely to get wet/dirty easily. Heel tabs are high, works ok with ankle socks but would rub with shorter socks. Walked 4 miles on the treadmill this morning with no issues.

Fit perfect for my achy, bone spurred feet! I can actually walk and stand in comfort.

Very cute shoe, length and width were perfect in 8.5W. Stylish in its own unique way. Had to return as the tiny tab thing on the upper back of the heel digs into my heel.

Arch support was in the wrong place for my foot, so they are going back.

The back of the shoes rub on my ankle bones so that it’s painful. I am either going to have to get super high and thick socks or I will have to get a different pair. I have scabs on the back of my ankles from wearing these shoes. It’s too bad because they are so cute and otherwise comfortable.

The right shoe fit perfectly tho no arch support. The left shoe wasn’t made properly and while walking it made my ankle turn in and was very uncomfortable. Sorry, but they have to go back due to the left shoe not having been made properly.

Great for wide feet! I struggle to find shoes to wear for work because of my wide width. These wide shoes fit perfectly!!! My feet don’t hurt after a 10-11 hour shift. I want to get them in all colors!!!

These shoes are super lightweight. No support around heel or ankle. Minimal arch support. Hot pink color is so loud and fun! Wide width felt a tiny bit narrow. Overall, I really like them for the gym!

I first bought these in white, once wearing them for a while, I bought two more pairs! I have bunions, so it is difficult finding comfort.
I am on my feet for a good part of the day, so these are very comfortable and don't leave my bunion painful and red. I would highly recommend!

I’ve been running in new balance 890s for years! The style changes a bit but the shoe always works well for me!

I REALLY love these shoes! I needed something for the gym and after an exhausting search of every store around, I relented and came here and I'm SO glad I did. These shoes are basically socks with a shoe bottom. They're very flexible and breathable. I can't say enough good things about them, I want to buy several and have some on hand at all times!

The size and fit are perfect. I typically wear 8.5 in sneakers, occasionally 9. Sometimes if I order 9 it's too big and if I get an 8.5 it's too small. I have a New Balance and a Nike in a 9 I want to return but of course they are out of stock in 8.5. Can't win sometimes!:) These are perfect in the 8.5 and feel as though they will work well for me. I have not gone for a run in them yet but I love the fit and style.

I was looking for a comfortable, stylish and light tennis shoe and the New Balance 890V7 are perfect! I have owned numerous pairs of NB over the years and have always liked the style and comfort so I decided to try these. I normally wear 8.5 in tennis shoes and decided to try the wides and man these are the most comfortable pair of tennis shoes I have ever owned. I love the color (light mint) because they go with everything (grey, black, navy, etc) and give me a pop of beautiful color. I have traveled (by car and plane) in these over the past few weeks and they are perfect for traveling. Feel great running outside and with a quick spot clean look brand new.

I found these when I searched for shoes to travel in that are also a good running shoe! These are perfect! I can wear them for sightseeing and walking as well as getting in my run while traveling! They look great with shorts and summer dresses- New Balance always meets my needs!
