New Balance Women's FuelCore Nergize V1 Cross Trainer

Comment

I bought a pair of these in 9 medium at Meijer. Figured maybe the fit was just small because I usually wear a wide. I liked them the first few times I ran in them, but they were too narrow. Ordered a pair of 8.5 wide off here, and they are EXACTLY the same width as the medium! And too tight. There is absolutely no support, and I can feel my ankles rotating inwards every time I take a step. These are just glorified slip-ons with fools laces. Too mushy, and the sizes arent true.

I like the look and feel of these shoes but definitely do not feel they are appropriate for extended wear. The sole is thin and you can feel every rock you happen to walk on when outside. I would never wear these shoes for extended wear like for Disneyland or while traveling. Barely any arch support and lacks the firm support needed for day long walking. I had hoped to take these to Europe due to them being so light weight. After wearing them for a day around town though I know they won’t give me the support I need for extended sight seeing. THINGS I LIKE: 1: light weight, no socks needed! 2: roomy toe box, no pinching 3: easy on and off WHAT I DO NOT LIKE 1: no arch support 2: no overall support (if you are prone to twisting your ankle this shoe will do nothing to protect you) 3: shoe runs small, order half a size up 4: thin sole that almost has a slipper feel EDIT: after wearing them a little longer I noticed they give me lower back pain when wearing them for walking around town for 1-2 hours. The lack of structural/arch support made me decide to downgrade my rating to 2-3 stars.

I like how lightweight these shoes are! I also like the unusual design of a tie-look shoe that actually pulls on without a traditional tongue and lace front. The design has ties that can tighten the shoe, but it is actually a slip on ... no tongue that will slip to the side. I also like the low cut under the ankle bone which is much more comfortable than many of my other sport shoes.

4/4 UPDATE - 2 weeks in.... sole is coming apart... worn only indoors at the gym. Im going to contact the seller to see if they can replace it, maybe this was just a fluke. Still love these shoes and really hope this is an isolated issue. Original Review Below: Love these shoes! I’ve been actively going to a cross-training fitness class 4/5 times a week for about 5 months now and was in dire need of a replacement for my running shoes, but not ready to spend a fortune on cross trainers. I’ve had these for about a week now, and so far very happy. These provide much more support for this style of workout, and my foot/ankle feel far more stable performing the different excersizes and movements. So far they seem like a great choice and I’m very happy with the price. I’ll provide an update if anything changes as I use them more.

This was my first time trying out New Balance. I LOVED these shoes when they arrived!! For the first two weeks they were my favorite shoes of all time. Comfier than any Nikes or other shoes I had worn, & oh so cute! I loved how light weight they were, too. However, they only lasted two months. TWO MONTHS! Their sole has already lifted up & is all wonky & junky. The memory foam is VERY short lived, & after a short time it is no longer supportive or cozy in any way. Also, the material is all stained, & despite my best efforts, does not clean well. I will never buy a New Balance shoe again. Severely disappointed! At least my Nikes lasted me a whole year of daily wear.
