New Balance used to be an easy fit all the time - put them on and they feel great but a few years ago, they changed somethings so that you have to watch for somewhat narrower fits. Sometimes you can fix the problems with laces and sometimes not. I did notice that these run a little bigger in the heel as there's a little more flopping around back there but I can live with it.These look great and the color is good enough for office-wear (all-black works okay). The laces are great - they didn't loosen up on a run - New Balance has had problems with slippery laces over the last couple of years. I have put these back in the box and will probably take them out again next spring for trail running. I'm running on indoor tracks and treadmills with the colder weather and I haven't gotten my cold running clothes act together yet. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best size 14 hiking / walking shoe I've found.... *by L***. on November 18, 2017* The NB 481 series is the best shoe I've found for hiking / walking.... ....since Nike ruined their Air model 15 or so years ago. I'm 6 ft 4 inches tall and weight 300 -plus lbs, I buy a size 14 M. They seem narrow in toe at first, but with some slight adjustments they end up perfect. I need a fairly aggressive arch support, and these shoes give me that, as well as an excellent anti-supination action. If you like a lot of arch support, these are for you and if your feet tend to roll outward, these will correct that if you let them align your feet per the design. Don't fight it! 6 stars! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Adequate arch support, thin cushion, made in Vietnam....good but New Balace may be losing its cachet *by D***E on September 15, 2016* For years, New Balance shoes have been my 'go to' and practically only shoes for working out. This was largely due to comfort, durability, and the fact they were made in the USA. Having high arches, comfort during a workout is important. Putting on a pair of New Balance shoes almost gave my feet new life. With that being said, I purchased this model and have worn them several times to my gym.These shoes have arch support which is adequate; however, the arch is not as high as other New Balance shoes I've purchased. It could use more cushion. Currently, the cushion is sufficient but feel as the lifespan will be a few months, requiring a replacement of the cushions or shoes. The construction of the shoe seems durable and should easily last through normal wear and tear. On a personal note, I do like the color and the laces are nice. but I'm a little different that way.Unlike previous New Balance purchases, this pair is not made in the USA but in Vietnam, a first for me. From some research, it appears the more expensive models are still made in the US with the less pricey models produced elsewhere. This does disappoint me and may make me reconsider my next purchase of athletic shoes if I can find a comparable, reasonably priced pair made in the US. Somehow, I doubr I will find one but there is time for research.Overall, a good pair of shoes that wears well and, with current availability of shoes which meet my needs as well as the price, I'd still buy them. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/490241068-new-balance-mens-481v2-trail-running-shoe](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/490241068-new-balance-mens-481v2-trail-running-shoe) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-25*
