Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam X Vongo v6

I loved the shoe and wish it fit my wide foot. 4E

I have been wearing 860s for years and decided to give these Fresh Foam X Vongo v6s a try. They fit even better than the 860s, lacing up tighter and providing more snugness and lateral support for my foot, which is a bit narrower than average. There is more cushioning than the 860s and similar stability. The toe box feels fairly roomy. The styling is fairly plain, but that's fine by me. Having worn them just a couple of weeks, I think I have found my new favorite.

Best shoe for my 2E feet, EVER! I have gout and a wonderful bunion on both feet. This is by far the best support/comfort I've felt. Will be purchasing another pair soon!

The size and fit were great. Really comfortable shoe. 4th pair I bought

Relatively firm but solid support. Overall very comfortable

Love wearing them. It would have been great if more than one color was on sale but, for me, these are more for performance than style.

Perfect fit

They are awesome

Feels great! Mild arch support.

Perfect fit.

I tried the Vongo v6 alongside the New Balance 860v14. The Vongo feels almost the same as the 860v14, but with a bit more padding in the sole. But like the 860v14, I felt that it was too tight through the toe box (both width and height), and my feet run a little narrow. It also did not have as much arch support as I need for my flat feet and over-pronation. I ended up returning these and going with the Saucony Guide 18.

I like the look of New Balance but I still prefer the fit of Brooks Ghost.

Good looking shoe that provides decent arch support and has a normal toe box space compared to some that are wider or more narrow. I did have to go up a size. But, happy to do it to get the right show when paying this kind of price.

I really loved this shoe, but unfortunately, the toe box was not as large as the NB 928's I have been wearing since they were introduced.

Loved the shoe, but the toe box was too small. Had to return

Good cushioning

This shoe has a lot of heel slip ... even when using lacing to lock-in the heel. I have several other pairs of NB shoes which do not exhibit the heel slip issue

New Balance shoes are true to size and width as usual. However, the toebox is too shallow for me, pressing my toes down in the shoe.

too narrow

I love NB generally the only shoes I wear, but not these. They just weren’t comfortable. NB usually provide me support and stability… these did not for me. Sent back

Good fit and size for 11 and 2EE. However, no bounce, dead feel, and this color plus size looks like a clown shoe.

just didnt feel right

Too short, too narrow

In Nike Court sneakers, I wear a women's 8.5, in UGG Adirondak a 9, but in these I need a 10 (men's 8.5). I bought these as a supposedly more stable version of 1080v13. The color I bought, Aluminum Grey/Brick Red, is a classy cool-tone grey color. They have surprisingly good arch support, but are not as squishy as 1080s and distressingly more narrow. The line from the heel to the ball of your foot is basically straight. The website pictures are accurate. There is no space for the big toe, but the conspicuous white sole remembers something should be there. Fine if your feet are shaped like hot dog buns, I guess.

I had a Fresh Foam Vongo and loved it. I loathe the new one. I had to take it out walking to find its weaknesses. The foam compresses and stays compressed so all the lovely cushioning and spring you feel when you first put it on disappears. Now the shoe is loose and my foot slides around. I hit a soft spot on the trail today and the shoe went down hill, my foot went forward and my ankle went up hill. Totally unstable.
