New Balance Women's Cruz V2 Fresh Foam Running Shoe

Comment

These shoes looked adorable in the picture and I couldn’t wait to get them. Well, unfortunately, the majority of the other negative reviews are correct because they are just impossible to get on. I was so upset! There is no pull tab in the back of the shoe so it can’t stretch and there is also no tongue in the front to bend it forward. You literally just have a hole on top of the shoe to somehow magically squeeze your entire foot in which did NOT work for me. After contemplating buying a shoe horn (which seemed a bit daunting to have to use every single time I wanted to put these on) I finally managed to cram my foot in the whole shoe (and chipped my nail polish in the process) and realized they were super tight. I’m a true to size 7.5 and always have been and these were SO tight. So if you think the idea of shoving your foot into the top of your shoe is for you, make sure you go up at least a half size from what you normally wear. Oh, and buy a shoe horn.

Material for the top of the shoe VERY thin, I worry it will not wear well. Quite difficult to pull on. General fit was good, and comfortable, and maybe if you are looking for the lightest possible shoe with good sole support, this may be a good choice.

I have arthritis in my knees and its a struggle to find shoes that dont add to my pain. They are harder than I thought theyd be, but they do have good arch support. I can walk a little farther and stand a little longer in these shoes. Its a small difference, but its makes a huge difference to me. Most shoes cause agony immediately, but these alleviate the painful impact on my joints. I bought these because I liked the mauve color, but they have been great. I never want to take them off.

I originally saw these shoes in person at another store, but looked on Amazon to find them on sale, so glad I did. I sized a 1/2 size up, which I usually do for athletic shoes- fits great, shoes are comfortable and look adorable. I’m wearing them as every day shoes rather than to workout, so hopefully the knit on top won’t be ruined as early as other people!

My only tiny complaint is that I have pretty average size 7 feet, and they are a tiny bit loose on my, but nothing a thicker sock wont fix. Other than that I love everything thing about them. They light, comfy, classier looking than most sneakers, but still casual and athletic looking. I like how the top is more of a slip-on than a regular sneaker, but I can see that catching people off guard and them not liking it, but I do... Also I LOVE the shoe laces. I wish all shoe laces where like these! I dont even quite know how to describe them, but they are soft, durable, easy to tie, and they lay flat/nice, so they look good.
