Best of Thingtesting4.6

New Balance earns strong reviews for comfort, support, and durability—many cite pain-free long walks and years of wear—yet aesthetics divide, sizing runs inconsistently narrow for some, and certain models show flaws (cracking leather, weak tongue elastic, cleat failures). Reviews of New Balance highlight standout lines like 550, 574, 1080 Fresh Foam, 990v6, and 327; buyers should match model to use, as lifestyle styles can feel tight or less cushioned for long distances while running lines excel for arch support and mileage.

    I have high arches and my feet pronate, so I have custom orthotics. New Balance is the best running shoe that I have found that accommodates both! I like the fun colorways that the running shoes come in as well.

    As a wide foot girlie, I've always appreciated the width options offered at New Balance. And they're still cute too, not like a narrow shoe that's just been widened without any thought to how proportions change, etc. I got these shoes specifically for my 10k step walks and they can definitely take the impact. My knees feel so much better. They also didn't require any breaking in at all, which was great. My only issues are that they do get a little heavy and aren't super breathable. The upper is made of leather, which is great for longevity, but not so much for a light and airy shoe. And since I got these for walking, not for a long day on my feet, they can get a little sweaty and stuffy.

    The best shoes I ever owned comfy and also very cute. I like them because they are not bulky and your feet still looks very good on it. Good for airport outfits. Can’t wait to style them with all my looks!!

    I love my new running shoes!! I love that they are off white and they are so cushioned. I usually run in Ons but wanted to give something else a chance and I don’t think I’ll run in anything else. Comparable to the brooks ghost max which I also love, but more cushioned
