New Balance Women's Fresh Foam 520 V9 Sneaker

I'm so happy with these! I read tons of reviews, tried on the pricier name brands (they were either uncomfortable or visually unappealing) and came back to my old favorites - NB. This is my third pair of New Balance running shoes. The style is what caught my eye; the reviews are what sold me. As other reviewers have mentioned, they're not bulky, are lightweight, and are extremely comfortable. I've had no breaking in period. I put them on on Day 1 and hit the road comfortably. Unlike other reviewers, I did not need to size up half a size. I ordered my normal size 7 and have plenty of room around my toes.

These are my first New Balance shoes and I Luv them!! They provide stability and comfort to my feet, my knees, and my back. I can’t believe that I waited this long to give them a try. Great looking style at a price that will not break your wallet. Since, many reviews were suggesting to sizing up, I went to DSW store to try them on. And I did size up. These shoes feel like I’m walking on air…that’s how comfortable I feel in them. I would definitely recommend these shoes. Try them out for yourself.

I ultimately had to return these, because even at size 11 (which is what I normally buy) they were too small. I don't know if NB has changed the way they measure or what the deal is, but they didn't fit. And this isn't the first time in recent months that I have had this issue with New Balance shoes. They're still my favorite, preferred brand for tennis shoes, so I'm going to keep trying, but I was definitely disappointed. I don't have a DSW anywhere near me, so returning is always an ordeal.

My feet felt better the first time I wore them. I waited longer than I should have to replace my previous shoes – to the point that my feet were killing me. I found a good review site online that told me I needed neutral stability shoes for my supinated feet. The New Balance Fresh Foam line was one that was recommended, so that’s what I bought. These shoes are great for all around fitness activities. Very comfortable and supportive and at a good price.

Love this shoe series! Super comfortable and supportive for all day wear. I'm a nurse and on my feet all day and I don't have any foot or joint pain or fatigue after a long day. I have mixed feelings on the off-white overlay color. Part of me feels it looks a little dirty/aged against the white sole but another part of me likes that it is less prone to showing dirt. Definitely recommend these shoes! Colors are true to the photos.

As many have stated these shoes are very comfortable. True to fit though is relative, I have wide feet and it is hard for me to find good, nice looking shoes of any kind in wide. I normal take a size 9 but took a 9 1/2 in this shoes to give me more space. If you have a narrow foot these would be true to fit, but if you are like me and have a wider foot make sure to take a 1/2 size up.

Worst NB shoes I’ve bought to date. Granted I’m used to the 880’s but these were NOT a wide fit at all. And they were not comfortable at all. Very disappointing. Maybe thats why they were on sale and pretty cheap? Not NB quality standards at all. Returned immediately and bought the 880’s (tho very disappointing that there’s no black for this season).

I love how these running shoes look and while they don’t have the typical padding inside the soles that I’m used to having in many of my previous running shoes, they’ve been comfortable and sturdy running shoes. My orthotics fit nicely in them, and I don’t feel like they’re too tight (even with my slightly wider feet). I’m happy with them!
