Comfy, looks sharp, not too durable

These are my second pair and I love them. Only issue is the back starts to rip from wear and tear from sliding my foot in and out of them, which is why I had to order another pair after a while.

Very solid running show! I had the same running shoes for 10 years and decided to upgrade to these. Planning on training for my half marathon in these.

I got these for back to school for my middle schooler. She’s been picky about shoes but she loves these. We got the grey/green/black color. They’re hard to get on though. The one thing I would change is being able to loosen the laces easier for getting them on and off. I think it’s the thin green loops and the main lace slots themselves all together it’s just difficult. She’s a big kids 3.5 and I bought her a size womans 5. It’s her first serious running shoe and woman’s shoe at that and she loves the comfort.

Bring back the Propel 4!

Originally posted on New Balance US

No, I don't recommend this

Bring back the Propel 4!! This version totally changes the way you step - a completely different feel with too much cushion in the back and too narrow through the middle . Feels nothing like the 4. It’s nearly impossible for me to find shoes that don’t cause pain as someone with scoliosis and neck damage and I could walk all day , upwards of 30k steps in the 4s with no pain at all which has never been possible for me & I am so bummed the 5 feels so different . It doesn’t feel nearly as balanced and has too much cushion which causes Knee pain and aggravates my neck issues .

These have extra padding that definitely gives your feet that jolt and comfort but it’s not too much where you feel disconnected. It’s my first time trying this model and it will be my new standard!

Worth it for bone spur

Originally posted on New Balance US

Yes, I recommend this

Finally had to retired my favorite pair of NB shoes and was scared to get a new pair. Specifically I needed a pair for how active I am outside and the fact I got a bone spur. These shoes feel like moon shoes. Lots of cushion and definitely has helped with my bone spur. You don’t realize you need shoes till you really need them sometimes. Glad I bought these. Definitely a little worried about the material wearing down faster than my old ones. Old NB one I would change out my insert because the rest of the shoe held up for…15years

They made me overpronate because they were so soft on the inner half of the sole

Took some getting used to, but now love them!

Originally posted on New Balance US

These shoes took some getting used to as I usually did not wear runners with this much cushioning (thick midsole). My ankles would actually feel sore during/after a run as they were working harder to stabilize than usual. At first, I did not like the feeling, but after getting used to it the ankle pain stopped (did they get stronger?) I then used a different pair of runners I had without the thick midsole, and they felt awful! So, I bought another pair of these when I needed new runners. All in all, I like them, even though they may take some getting used to. Also, not recommended for uneven terrain (unless you like rolled ankles lol).

Broke then in in Disney World

Originally posted on Joe's New Balance Outlet

Yes, I recommend this

These shoes went beyond my expectation. I have very flat feet and they pronate inward. Shoes will make or break my knees! I just wore them for the first time while in Disney world, yes a bold move on my part, and I walked no less than 7 miles a day for three days. They were comfortable, fit well, did not cause any irritation to my foot. I took a chance on these shoes and it paid off!

Really comfortable although they come up very slightly small, so I suggest everyone goes for a size up

Super comfy and cushioned sneaker that’s great for running and walking. It’s a great neutral white with a pretty blue logo. Bought them online and love how the sizing with NB is so consistent. Never have to worry about ordering my size and needing to ship back!

This is the most comfortable walking shoe I’ve ever worn. I am a runner, but when walking these are my go to shoes. They’re great.

I found these trainers very uncomfortable. I had to return them. They made my heels roll inwards when walking. I would not recommend these.

Too bulky.

This had to be purchased one-half size up because my regular size was too small. It really looked too bulky on my feet.
