These are cute and made my feet look small (sz9) but they were narrow and snug all over. Order a 1/2 size up and get a wide. I returned.

I have been wearing NB Fresh Foam for several years and decided to try the Arishi V4 in wide width. The shoe did not disappoint as I was pleased with the soft fabric and comfort.

I ordered a half size up and it was needed. The length is perfect. I will have to use my orthotics with this shoe because there was no arch support, The ball of the foot area is very wide. I decided to keep because I can cinch the shoe with the shoestrings and it will negate the width problem. I can wear my orthotics and the overall sole of the shoe is nicely padded. I like shoes that do not scream "LookATMe!" and these fit the bill in looks.

I was careful choosing this shoe (looked at measurements and many reviews) and surprised to find my toes hitting the end of the shoe in my usual 9 wide. I will exchange for a half size larger and keep fingers crossed..

I love the look and cushion of the runners but they definitely run small, I ordered a half size larger so I can use an orthodic insole but it's way too small. And as another reviewer said there is zero arch support in these shoes so I need my insoles. Have to return them.

I ended up ordering a half size larger than normal which is the second time I've had that experience with New Balance. Otherwise I love the color (blue) and the comfort. Great for everyday workouts.

Love these! I only use them for walking and they're very comfortable. True to size, stylish and sporty.

Comfortable and very stylish (love the little pop of bright green to break up the all-white) but definitely less padding compared to all my other New Balance Fresh Foam Arishis. Exactly what I had been looking for!

These are comfy to wear but I added different insoles to provide more arch support for my high arches.

I listened to the reviews and order a 1/2 size larger and an extra wide, not just a wide. They feel great! I can actually feel the ground and my foot feels solid and stable. Am looking for another color to buy. These arent for everyone, but theyre great with orthotics and for wide feet

Great fit, wide toe box for bunions, supportive but not stiff, good cushioning. I insert arch support for my high arches.

These shoes are very comfortable! I’ve been wearing them for 12 hours shifts as a nurse in the hospital and my feet no longer ache after my shift!

The shoes fit appropriately. My only comment is that the shoeplaces are too long.

Take out the card. Type in the numbers and wait for the most perfect shoe ever to be delivered. No seriously, if you are looking for the spring to quite literally to be put back into your step get these shoes. You're welcome.

The shoes are the exact pretty shade of smokey blue like the photo. They are light weight, yet have a supportive structure and feel secure on your feet.

I always wear an eight, but in New Balance you need to size up 1/2 a size. so these are perfect in 8.5
Great shoe

I am glad I ordered two sizes. I feel that you need to order 1/2 size bigger than normal. The shoes are super comfortable in Wide. There is no seem on the top of the shoe, and the fabric is very light and stretchy. The heel is not too large or too tall and does not hurt my Achilles tendons. Even my bunions don't cry. There is NO arch support, but I am using my own orthotics. The color is awesome, the morning fog. Not too white, not too blue. The cushioning is just right, without impeding the stability. You can walk and walk and walk.

I purchased these sneakers for my mom who is 84 years old and she absolutely loves them. She said these are the most comfortable sneakers shes ever had.

These were cute on my feet and seemed true to size. I took a chance that a wide (D) would fit my 4E feet - nope. But I think they would have been great if they came in my width. My feet: short, wide, slight bunions, high arch, high instep (i.e. bricks). I got the arctic grey, which is really more blue. But it just wasn't meant to be so they're going back - thanks, Zappos!
