Not very comfortable

I own quite a few new balance runners. I always order wide. These do not feel wide at all.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear the wide width did not provide the fit you expected, especially as a longtime New Balance customer who regularly orders wide sizes. We'd be happy to have our team assist in reviewing fit options that may better meet your needs.

These shoes were very comfortable straight out of the box. I brought my old shoes to work (I’m a mail carrier) just in case they needed broken in but they were great! I loved the cushion in them. I felt light on my feet and energetic! Definitely will buy NB with soles like these again. Very happy with the fit, style and soles of these shoes.

I bought Hoka’s, Brooks and Adidas. Took them all back. These new balance are fantastic. I am on my feet from 4 AM to 8:30 PM. And my feet do not hurt. The sad thing is is they’re discontinuing them. So I did buy another pair. But what am I gonna do when they’re gone?

The New Balance Fresh Foam 520v9 are incredibly comfortable. The Fresh Foam cushioning feels soft and responsive, and the shoes provide great comfort when walking for a long time. They fit well, feel lightweight on my feet, and the overall quality is excellent. I’m very happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend them.

The shoes are very comfortable and don't squeeze the foot. I've worn them for a hike and was pleased that they felt good the entire time.

Mesh rips very easily.

I bought these shoes on May 19, 2026. Within a week of wearing them, the mesh is ripping in several places. Although they are very comfortable, they are not great quality and I would not purchase these again.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the mesh began ripping in multiple areas after only a week of wear, despite the comfort the shoes provided. We'd like to learn more about your experience, and our Customer Care team would be happy to provide additional assistance.

They are cute and soft, but unfortunately they were too tight on one foot for me so I returned them.

These are my working shoes and I love them! The only glitch was the sizing as I had to take a full size larger than my other New Balance (different model). Something to keep in mind.

Love this shoe series! Super comfortable and supportive for all day wear. I'm a nurse and on my feet all day and I don't have any foot or joint pain or fatigue after a long day. I have mixed feelings on the off-white overlay color. Part of me feels it looks a little dirty/aged against the white sole but another part of me likes that it is less prone to showing dirt. Definitely recommend these shoes! Colors are true to the photos.
