My favorite NB sneakers so far

I usually deal with plantar fasciitis every few months, but since I started wearing the Fresh Foam X Cruz v3, I haven’t had a single flare-up. I actually bought two more pairs because they’ve helped so much. I remove the insoles, machine wash them, and they air-dry very quickly. I only have the white pair at the moment—black and gray were sold out in my size—but I’d love to see more color choices in the future.

Great sneaker

The only reason it’s not 5 is because the tongue is not moveable. Felt too tight around my ankle so I cut the sides on the tongue lol! I love New Balance!

Keeps getting a hole in mesh

This is my second pair of these shoes and they always get a hole in the mesh part. Same place as the last ones I had. I’ve only had them for a year I’d write a better review because I actually like the shoes but poorly made why do they keep getting a whole

Not great support

If you like a soft shoe this is the one for you. The support is not enough for me.
