Soles to rigid
The soles were so stiff , inflexible and rigid these shoes felt like I was walking on boards.

Very low toe box
Can't speak on durability yet but the upper protects against ripping since there's rubber on the upper. The toe box was a very low height and gave my pinky toe a blister from rubbing against it even though the length and width are my correct size.
New Balance US response
We’re sorry to hear the toe box felt too low and caused discomfort despite being the correct size. Please contact our Customer Care team so we can review your concerns and help address this issue.

ruined it
c'mon. why did you ruin this great shoe? 996v4 and 996v5 both good. now this one? who designed it? it's tight and pinching and so stiff and it just doesn't fit at all the same for all of us who have been wearing 996s forever. Take a note from Brooks Running. They keep their shoes the same or make minor improvements so you can keep buying them and they fit and they work. so sad.

These shoes used to fit without them needing to be broken in, now I have shoes that will break my feet before I can wear them and enjoy, what happened?
New Balance US response
We appreciate your feedback on the fit. A proper fit is essential for comfort, and we’re sorry this pair didn’t meet your expectations. Our Customer Care team can assist with finding the right size or alternative options.
