    Fantastic running shoe

    These are very light in feel when running. Great bounce response with each stride, legs never get fatigued when out on the road

    Excellent everyday runner shoes, I have tried many variations of the NB running shoes and Propels are one of my favorites. When I am looking to put in a good run I don't hesitate to grab the Propels.

    A bit snug, but not bad.

    A little more snug than most of my new balances. But it has a good feel and nice bounce for training.

    I love these shoes they are very comfortable for me to stand in for a good moment of time, I feel less pain my feet now got these pair. I'm going to try and grab another one different color but I do enjoy this. I will be honest though I wish they were a little bit waterproof.

    Poor quality, too synthetic. Feet don’t breathe and feel hot all the time.

    Great fit, terrible for exercising

    Originally posted on New Balance US

    No, I don't recommend this

    The shoe fits comfortably, and the mesh upper feels snug but not tight. Like a well-fit glove. However, the "fuel cell" midsole feels like im walking on a damp sponge. My heel crashes all the way to the ground with every step and there is very little support. I do not recommend this for anything more than strolling around the grocery store.
