Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam Sport v2

I had ordered these same shoes before and they were perfect. Unfortunately, they changed the styling, and used the same name. The previous style had an actual "tongue". The new style does not - it is all one part. This makes it uncomfortable for those of us who have a top of foot that is high. Unfortunately, I have to return them.

The shoe looks great, fits perfectly and are definitely wide and light...however, if you have an orthotic, it won't work. Since the arch support is only moderate, I can't use them. I'd have to go to another whole size, which I rather not do. Thus, the shoe doesn't work. I have found other brands where I don't even need an orthotic, so, I continue on my search.

I liked the fit of this shoe. They are very light weight and give the foot some room in the toe. The tongue of the shoe is part of the shoe, not separate like most shoes. The only problem is that it makes the shoe a little tough to get on. I wish the tab on the back of the shoe was little larger so you could grip it to pull up the back! I I felt like the fabric of the tongue extended up too far although you can fold it down which is what I did.

These were the first of three pairs of shoes I tried on and noticed immediately they seemed to fit like a glove. My only complaint is the tongue rubs a bit on my front of my leg. There is padding inside and they are so extremely light weight. I hope they hold up for walking! The color is a gentle sort of mauve and not obtuse in any way. I knew the minute I put them in they were likely the ones. I’ve been trying to find a new walking shoe for five or so months! I’ve always been an ASICS water but none of them seemed right this time. I think they changed their design?

Fit too large, and the toe box fit like a wide not regular width. Size down & probably would work well for people who have a “hammer toe” etc or need a little extra space in the toe box.

Fresh Foam Sport v2 looked great. However, I have a high instep so I wasn't able to get them on. So I can't evaluate them for fit.

These shoes are very comfortable and stylish but not durable. They're very lightweight, and I love that they come in wide width. I'm disappointed because I've had mine only 2 months and the soles are already worn out at the ball of the foot. I only walk 1-3 miles a day on the sidewalk or asphalt bike trail, so I was very surprised to see how much they'd worn out already. I'd say these are better as a casual street shoe or indoor exercise use.

After a very long hunt for a comfortable walking shoe these arrived. I'm an Asics gal for years and years but none of them were fitting my feet correctly. I think they changed their style! These shoes are so lightweight, comfortable and stylish that I don't even feel like I'm wearing much when they are on. I cannot wear as well into winter as the cold does come through sadly! I wasn't sure if I liked the color but my husband liked them out of the box. They do show dirt fairly easily which is a nuisance to me but they are still so comfortable I'm wearing them around the house daily even when I can't walk outside with them. The only little thing was the tongue which I originally felt rubbing a bit at the top but decided it would be worth a little inconvenience and that issues has resolved as they have gotten broken in. With socks it wasn't a big deal. Haven't worn New Balance shoes for probably 40 years. I do like these though and would buy again!

Not very cushioned. Nice looking shoes but not as comfortable as I thought they would be.

These cute shoes run true-to-size and they are SO comfy! I own them in 3 colors now. Usually, I have to break-in new running shoes but these are fine right out of the gate with zero blisters.

I wasn’t sure what to expect, since these shoes are a different NB model than the ones I was replacing. However, I’m very pleased! They fit snugly but aren’t tight. There’s plenty of room in the toe box for my wide foot. It’s a very comfortable, lightweight shoe overall, with plenty of sole cushion and arch support. I don’t typically favor pull-on shoes but the laces help adjust the fit. I’d recommend.

The fit and size were perfect. I felt like I was walking on a cloud.

Super comfortable and light weight! My new friend for exercise class!

This is my first purchase of NB shoes (a friend recommended for walking), and so far, so good --- definitely more protection for the soles of my feet in comparison to a fairly new pair of Skechers. Did not need to break-in, either. Ordered W width, and is perfect. "storm blue" seems a bit more seafoam to me, but it's still attractive and fun to wear.

Super comfortable! Great for long distance walking/running.

They were tight across the top of my foot. Otherwise length was fine.

Love these. They instantly fit perfectly and did not need to be broken in, I went to the gym with them right out of the box with no issues. They’re super light and I would definitely re-purchase.

The fit is utterly amazing. Sporty and feels like walking on a cloud. Couldn’t be happier and I have terrible bunions. Can’t tell it’s a “wide” shoe !

I always take a half size larger with New Balance, so the fit was perfect. The sneaker is very lightweight, so its great for aerobic exercise!

Because Ive worn New Balance in the past, I ordered an 8.5 as ususal. The 8.5 was too big overall. The 8 fits! The toe box is roomier than many brands, and I like that. Thank you, Zappos, for being my "go to" place to buy shoes. Ordering and returns-f needed-are easy!

These shoes feel and look great!

Comfortable, wide area for toes to spread, very light and cute color

These are great. They do have a bigger toe box but that is something I like. Wonderful for walking on pavement and hard surfaces.

These shoes are extremely comfortable! I love the dusty pink color too!
