Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam Beacon v3

New Balance have been my go-to shoes for 15 years because they are wide through the toe box yet narrow at the heels. This pair was the opposite, too narrow through the toes and too wide at the heels. They are also higher than usual at the back and irritated my Achilles tendon. They are super cute and lovely color but not for my feet.

Wanted this super cute shoe to fit but I tried two sizes and it just didn’t. LOVED the color!!

Loved these shoes right out of the box - they fit perfectly, they look great... but the heel has NO lateral stability. Just standing still, I felt that my ankle would roll. Sadly they're going back.

Bought the Wide. Not a true Wide, more like a medium. Also New Balance seems to have lost have a shoe size on all of their sneakers. It is too short. Also the cushioning on this level of their shows are not at all cushioning.

I have a wide foot and bought the wide size, but knew right away it was going to be too painful to wear. All I can say is if that was a wide, than the regular size must be fitting a narrower than normal foot. I had to return them.

These shoes are super wide.

very light support for a court shoe

no arch support. very hard sole

I wish I had returned them! The toe box was really much too small! My toes were pushing the top, realized it after I had worn them! Expensive mistake!

I want to like these shoes and they have a lot of plush padding….. but the removable inner footbed is basically garbage- it has really no arch support or extra contour to it. Discard! Aside from that these shoes hurt my feet something really BAD right across the bridge of my foot (from the underside) after walking not even a block unless I leave the shoes completely untightened. So I don’t know if I can return them Now b/c I have worn them out of doors b/c that’s reAlly the only way to get a good read on them, with some wear.

The size was OK and if it was OK, however the comfort level was not OK. Walking around the house they seemed fine however after about eight minutes of moderate aerobics I had to take them off because my feet hurt so. Very little cushioning under the ball of my foot. So they May have fit snd may have been cute but they are on their way back

Ran a little small. especially in the big toe area, it rubbed on the top of the shoe and got uncomfortable and annoying pretty quick. Maybe just because was a little small, maybe not?

These shoes caused pain to develop on the outside of my feet. This pain was so severe after walking a while that I tossed the shoes. I don't know why because the fit seemed good.

Too small and too narrow for a 12 wide.

Super disappointed in these shoes. They are fairly hard and uncomfortable in the sole. My feet are sore after wearing them. Worst of all, the wide are not really wide. The outside of my foot hurts a lot, more on one foot vs the other. I feel pain the whole time I wear them. Huge waste of money.

The soles are pink!

There was almost room for both of my feet in one shoe. These shoes had to be the wrong size and width. Back they go!
