New Balance Women's Fresh Foam Zante V4 Running Shoe

Love love love… this is my second pair… they are so comfy too

I bought these as a “Deal of the Day”. I have been running 30-50 miles a week, outside, in just Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 33 (and now 34) size 8.5 B for the last year, but these New Balance were a great deal and I thought I’d try them out since it is good to try different running shoes once in a while.So far I have only used them on the treadmill indoors (they are my “indoor” shoes, for now), so making comparisons of these to outdoor running isn’t completely fair, but these are performing well for me. The top of the shoe seems very soft and meshy, but seems to work out ok indoors.These shoes fit ok, but towards the end of my run, my toes feel a little crowded and uncomfortable. I don’t think this is a length issue as much as toe box size issue, and all people have different toe box requirements in running shoes. When I bought New Balance as my running shoe of choice all the time a few years ago, 8.5 fit fine, and I wear 8.5 in Nike Air Zoom Pegasus’s and Asics, so perhaps these New Balance run small, perhaps I just need to break them in for longer. I have had no problems with blisters or soreness after runs.These feel cushiony and bouncy, but I can’t tell if that is from the “foam” or from the fact that I am running on a treadmill versus running outside. Anyway, this is not a complaint, they feel good to run in.Overall, I am very happy I tried these. My only minor issue is not enough room in the toe box for my toes to spread out comfortably, but this hasn’t stopped me from running in them. They are light and springy, and fun to run in, and a great change from my normal Nike's. It is hard to recommend a running shoe because all people have different requirements when it comes to running shoes, and what works for me might not work for you, but I like these shoes.

I am a size 8 (women) and ALWAYS buy 8 1/2.I really like these shoes for casual-running errands type of wear, but I should've bought a 9 to make the most out of it.Instead, I lined the insoles with no-show socks and wear them as slip-ons.

I have been a long time Zante user. I really loved the Zante 3, so I thought the Zante 4 would be comparable, if not better.In general, the shoes are cute. Sizing was off. I always wear a 9, but after purchasing a 9, I quickly found out that in these, they run small. I had absolutely no room in the toe box, so I had to go up a 1/2 size.I was running in a pair of Brooke’s right before purchasing these, but the lack of room in their toe box left a sour taste in my mouth...and pain in my toes/pads of my feet. Ever since I found the right size of these Zante’s in have not had that problem whatsoever. I do now struggle with extreme knee pain since wearing these. I average about 20 miles or so a week. I am going to try a good insole and see if it resolves the issue. I’m not completely giving up on them yet.Like the shoe, but not enough to be in pain.

Most days I wear a New Balance Fresh Foam with a lot more support and stability. On days when I’m racing a 5k or doing a tempo run the Zante is my go to shoe. Order up a half size.., they seem snug to me

One of the most comfortable pair of shoes I have ever worn. This is my second pair.

This shoe is extremely lightweight. Major plus! I run on a treadmill and the road. They feel good on both but I noticed after running for 3 miles or more, the ball of my foot hurt slightly. I don’t run on my toes so that surprised me. However, these are great shoes and feel great for every day wear or running/walking. 4 Stars because I’ve had better. Saloman shoe owner prior to this and they were more supportive...but clunky. Glad these are lighter. The colors are so neutral and the pink “N” is reflective and not as noticeably pink as the picture.

They’re so cute! I got the blue style and I really like them. They’re comfortable to wear and walk around in. They definitely need to be “broke in”, the first few wears the backs rubbed on my ankle. I haven’t worn them to run in yet, but maybe they can be my reason to go for a jog!***Update***There were fine for going on a short jog! I did wear them working one day. I was on my feet and walking around all day and after about 4-5 hours my feet were just aching. I think these shoes are good for short bursts.

My favourite trainers I've ever had. Definitely run small, had to return and reorder twice and ended up getting shoes two sizes up

Just what I wanted

the shoes are really good. very comfortable. satisfied

Great trainers, I had a pair before, comfy, great for running and a great price! I will order again!
