New Balance Women's 996 V4 Hard Court Trainers

Okay I have to admit I have a very hard time finding a running shoe that doesn't cause me problems either while running or afterwards. Blisters, black toe nails, pressure on top of foot from laces, you name it. So I decided to start a process of elimination until I found the shoe that worked, even trying multiple sizes of the same shoe. Well I'm happy to report that I have found my perfect shoe in these New Balance Fresh Foam. I wear an 8 1/2 everyday shoe and found that I needed one size up and a wide width 9 1/2 Wide. The toe box has the most room of all the shoes I tried (Avia, Asics, Brooks), also by getting the wide width it gave me even more toe room. I tried the shoe in a 9 Wide and the fit was a little too snug, the 9 1/2 regular didn't give me as much of a toe box as I like, but the 9 1/2 Wide was the perfect answer with minimal heel slip. To eliminate heel slip I use the heel lock lacing and tying method (many examples on you tube) which also keeps the laces from coming untied even with only one knot. Who knew?! As a side note, to prevent black toe nail syndrome I have always worn gel toe caps on my hammer toes but have since learned (you-tube) how to KT tape the problem toe and it has been an absolute blessing and no gel cap needed. Hopefully this review gives you the help you need in selecting your next pair of running shoes, and even if you don't run, foot comfort is huge! Keep moving and stay fit.

I bought these same running shoes last year in Germany and as I travel a lot and use them also for hiking because I love them so much and they are so comfortable I googled them while being in the U.S. and found them here on Amazon. You never know if they are the same but I ordered the same size and they are as awesome as my previous ones. They are super comfortable and perfect for me. However of course every foot is different and so you might not know until you try it out. But I love them and even the color is super great. All in all I'm super happy and would buy them a 3rd time if I had too :))

10.5 wide feet, a curse! Before pregnancy, I wore a 9.5 and had a moderate arch. 6 years later and I somehow went up a full size between then and now... and now I have nearly zero arch. Most women's shoes stop at size 10, and of course aren't found in wide. I have back and knee pain and am an overpronator. This shoe ticks ALL the boxes! I just walked 3 miles with absolutely ZERO discomfort. In the past 2 months I've tried maybe 20 different shoes trying to figure out how I can exercise without pain flare ups in my feet and knees and back. Brooks, Hokas, Nikes, and Asics failed me. None of them gave me the comfort these shoes have. There's just enough support in the arch without pinching my foot, and perfect room in the toe box. If I had one criticism, it's that it needs a hair more support in the metatarsal area. There's not much going on there. But not a deal breaker for me. Buy them!

I saw these recommended in Wirecutter. I'm on my feet a lot, and these are really comfortable for my job. I bought the black, and I like that they're very simple and not flashy at all. They kind of just blend in with most of my outfits. They have a lot of cushion, almost sponge like, which is a big relief. I wear these as my "Friday" shoe to give my feet a break at the end of the week

Out of all my other tennis shoes (acsics, hokas, onclouds, sorels), these shoes give me the support I need when walking and don’t result in shin splints! This is the 3rd pair that I have owned and I love them. I walk 3-5 miles a day and my feet never hurt or feel tired. The shoes are a tad heavier than the others, therefore I wear the others when I workout and wear these strictly for walking. I normally wear 7.5 and found that size 8 fits me better in these great NB shoes.

I have difficult feet - 8 4A with a 6A heel. These shoes in 8N, with an added superfeet orthotic, have been perfect. Great for working out, comfortable enough to be a street shoe for city and trail walking. The soles are beginning to show wear, and I'm off to buy them again. Not even going to try NB's latest version, since sometimes their tinkering changes the fit.

I'm delighted to finally have found the exact same model that I purchased over two years ago. One of the most comfortable shoes.

I have this exact same shoe I purchased at REI. It is my favorite shoe - but this one I ordered from Amazon was not anything like the sole of my other one. I wore both side by side and nope - not even close. I guess they changed out the sole for a cheaper one. This seems to be a practice for sellers of Amazon. (not Amazon's fault - i fault the brand) Kind of like a company makes things for Dollar Tree and they make them cheaper than normal - so no - I don't recommend them. Yes, I could order another insole - which is what I did, but it was hard too. So they were both returned. Just a waste of time.

Super Laufschuhe, passen sehr gut! Die Farbe ist auch schön!

Love the color, fit and comfort! Perfect!

They were an incorrectly marked size - labelled a 6.5 but I held them up next to the exact same shoe and was clearly a size smaller
