Runs small and hurts the top of your feet
Terrible fit. They run very small and hurt the top of your feet to where you can’t walk the next day!

Stop w/cheap foam tongues w/glued on material.
The shoes look nice, but I hate the exposed foam on the tongue of the shoe. It’s cheap looking and the material will come unglued after a short period of time. I probably would have passed on these shoes if I noticed this in the pictures before buying. I’m still considering returning them.

Not worth it at all
These are a very poorly constructed pair of shoes. The quality of everything was terrible. I was hoping to find a pair of nb that wasn't so harsh on the eyes since most of the stuff you make is full of very harsh colors and color combinations in I thought these were decent as they were softer looking. It's unfortunate that the one pair you had in a nice palette was so uncomfortable and cheaply made
New Balance US response
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the shoes didn’t meet your expectations in both quality and comfort, especially after choosing a softer color palette. Please contact Customer Care so we can assist with a return and help you find a pair that better suits your needs.
