Good for walking

It’s not good for running in trails but good for walking.

Tongue is not waterproof

Originally posted on New Balance US

No, I don't recommend this

The tongue isn't waterproof. If I could convince the rain to only land on my toes this would be fine, but unfortunately rain hits the top of the foot as well. This means your feet still get wet with the added bonus of taking forever to dry because the goretex traps water inside. Worst of both worlds. If my feet are going to get wet I'd rather just have non waterproof shoes so they dry quickly. Most other waterproof shoes have a gusseted tongue to prevent this. Sizing is also terrible. Other than that they're comfortable and they look nice.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear the waterproof design did not perform as expected and that water was able to enter through the tongue, leaving your feet wet and the shoes slow to dry. We also appreciate your comments regarding the sizing, and if you have any questions or would like additional support, our Customer Care team is available to help.

I’ve bought these twice now

Originally posted on New Balance US

I’m not sure why there are so many negative reviews on these shoes. For me these shoes have been extremely comfortable. I usually wear a size 7 in medium width. These shoes are not too narrow and for me they have been true to size. My foot feels well supported. I am a registered nurse who has to wear Caribbean blue scrubs and these match perfectly. I get so many compliments at work because they look great with my scrubs. I work at a hospital and take care of acute patients so I am always on my feet, running around, walking on slippery surfaces. I have never slipped in these. I actually finally bought a new pair after 2yrs of wearing the same ones, my feet finally started hurting in them after that long. The new pair has fixed that. I usually wear my compression socks with these shoes and I never even think about my feet or legs while working, they simply don’t hurt like they used to in other shoes. Even when I wear normal socks, these shoes don’t quit. At the end of a long shift, my feet don’t even hurt. I got lucky that they still sell these.

Gorgeous shoe. Way too tight and really hurt my toes. Order in a larger size!

NB doesn't seem to run as wide as it used to

Originally posted on New Balance US

No, I don't recommend this

I have an old pair of New Balance trail shoes that I absolutely adore, but they don't make them anymore. So I ordered the DynaSoft Nitrel v6 Gore Tex in a wide width. I always order my running/trail shoes a full size larger than my regular shoes to accommodate for swelling, but despite that and the wide width label, these shoes are not nearly as comfortable as my old ones, the toe box is not wide enough to prevent my toes from being squeezed together and blistering, and they also blister the backs of my heels. This is actually the second pair of New Balance I've had since the beloved pair that has disappointed. Unfortunately, it's time for me to find a new brand.

This is my second pair of Gore Tex shoes from New Balance. They are great for traveling to Alaska, Mediterranean, Northern Europe, etc for dealing with any rain. Great for alot of walking and hiking. Great on irregular pavement, cobblestone streets. Good arch support, and reliable tread.

Comfy Fit

Originally posted on New Balance US

Yes, I recommend this

Once I realized I needed to go up a half size, this shoe became an instant favorite. The DynaSoft Nitrel v6 Gore‑Tex has a great colorway, solid quality, and a clean overall style that works on and off the trail. I work in a garden nursery, so I’m on my feet all day — walking long distances, standing for hours, and moving across different surfaces. These shoes handle all of it with no problem. The Gore‑Tex keeps my feet protected, the cushioning feels supportive, and the fit (once sized correctly) is extremely comfortable. Versatile, durable, and stylish, exactly what I needed for my work environment and everyday wear.

Style has been changed in the last year - shoe has been narrowed out. A wide is no longer a true wide!

We’re sorry to hear the recent style update has changed the fit and that the wide option no longer feels like a true wide. We understand how frustrating it is when a shoe you rely on fits differently than before. Please reach out to our Customer Care team so they can review your feedback and help explore possible next steps.

L O V E them! Perfect for everything!

Originally posted on New Balance US

Yes, I recommend this

I love these shoes! They’re probably more comfortable for me than the 990s. Super light and stable. I have a fused ankle so my foot is really picky. I bought these for hiking in Puerto Rico…the grip was excellent! I have a tendency to slip easily, but I was solid hiking on rough and wet terrain in the rainforest. When it comes to waterproof, they’re good during the rain, but not cliff jumping into a river and swimming through caves. My feet were soaked. So could use improvement on that (joking). I wish more colors were offered. Would definitely buy them when these wear out!

10/10 Would Recommend!

Originally posted on New Balance US

Yes, I recommend this

These shoes are SO comfortable! I have issues after breaking my ankle, getting a fusion and chronic arthritis for 15 years. My foot is annoyingly picky when it comes to shoes. These are super light with good stability. I bought them for hiking in Puerto Rico in two weeks. I’ll update on hiking/waterproof when I’ve worn them more. I did have to send back for a half size larger - I normally wear 8.5 or 9 and had to go with the 9. Would love if there were more color options. As of right now, these are my favorite…even over the 990’s and Hoka!

Loved the fit and feel, but the tread wore very quickly. In less than a couple months, the tread was worn flat - I only hiked in them a few times a week.
