Grippy GRIPPY Grippy!

Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2019

Verified Purchase

I bought these NB Zante V1 Trainers in the Rain Cloud color. LOVE them! I usually wear size 7.5 - 8 but I'm an 8 in New Balance. I got these trainer from the recommendation of a couple of America Ninja Warrior friends and they are the grippiest pair I own. I didn't even have to wear them in before using them at the gym. I did that purposefully because I wanted to compare them with the NB Minimus that's also one of my favorites to wear for Ninja. I like that the tongue on these is part of the shoe and not its own piece. Nice to not have to mess with it while putting it on. Not only are they great for Ninja, they are really super comfortable to wear as everyday shoes. Yes, these are roomy in the toe box and this is typical for these types of New Balance shoes if you're not familiar with them. That's one of the things I like about them is that I can move my toes naturally and that helps with maneuvering around the obstacle course. I like them so much I bought a pair for my son. I really wish NB would make the same shoes for younger kids!

Loving this shoe!!

Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2015

Verified Purchase

Had these shoes a week now and have run 20 miles in them. Farthest run was 8 miles others were a few 4s. I have done all road running and run at about a 8:45 min pace. I'm a lean runner and generally run in a neutral shoe.
I was really hesitant to buy this shoe because I was associated it with a Nike free kind of shoe - which I hate for running (cross training is good though). I finally bought after reading a ton of reviews.
I love this shoe! I am buying a second pair to rotate with even. Really light weight, great cushion and support. The no seam top is crazy comfortable. The toe box is a good for me- not too big or small. I did order half size bigger.

Parched

5 C (wide) and when they arrived I thought they looked pretty small. They are narrower than other New Balance ...

I usually wear an 8.5-9 depending on the shoe. I got these in an 8.5 C (wide) and when they arrived I thought they looked pretty small. They are narrower than other New Balance I have purchased, but the upper is stretchy and not uncomfortable. They are also slightly too short. The first day I wore them to work my toenails felt bruised. I relaced them with a lace-lock and now they are perfect! I would probably re-order in a 9 though. They are super cute, light-weight and comfy. No back, ankle, knee or arch pain - even after wearing them all day and walking around farms.

Runs a bit large, nice and wide (for arch supports) great buy

Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2016

Verified Purchase

I got these because I intended to take up jogging. I got a 9.5 because they say go up 1/2 size for feet swelling when working out. Also I put arch supports in. I have narrow feet so these are wide for me and I tied the laces tight (but not a deal breaker at all.) (Note, Nikes run narrow and they are perfect for me so if nike's are too narrow, these would be great.)

They are pretty cheap but very comfortable. I also bought the W720V3 for $35 and returned them. They weren't cute and didn't have enough support.

I don't do as much exercise as I should and I ONLY use these to work out so I can't say how durable they are (I have several fashionable pairs of nikes) but I will say this, the nike's I usually wear were 70 bucks and they don't have the arch support as this shoe. The shoes run big, so for me, my foot moves a little in them with regular wear (even with the arch support) so next time around I will get a 9. I am a little surprised because usually I'm an 8.5 to 9 (depends on the shoe).

If normal gym shoes and socks had a baby the result would be this shoe

Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2019

Verified Purchase

These are so comfy! They fit perfectly! They don’t pinch anything or rub anywhere. The top of the shoe feels like a stretchy sock. It’s thin and breathable and move with your foot. the bottom has plenty of support. i have flat feet and can totally feel the arches in these.

i like that the tongue of the shoe is just part of the top of the shoe, so there actually isn’t a tongue (tried to take a picture of this).

Also, for the record, i do not run. I bought these just as casual gym shoes to replace a pair of Skechers Go-Walks that finally bit the dust , so i can’t say how good they’d be for running. I wear 10.5 and have narrow feet. i got the normal 10.5 and there’s still some room (not tight. not loose. they’re just right.)

Love!

I love these sneakers! They fit comfortably and go with most outfits. I have had my pair for a few years now and they still fit great, nothing is too worn and they wash extremely well. I throw mine in a garment bag unlaced and put the inserts in the bag separately, too. I just spray them with stain remover and let it sit for aobut 5 mins and then wash it on cool with some light detergent and and air dry them in front of my fan and they're good to go! I've washed them about 4 times without any problems.

If I could have these in multiple colors I would!

Very satisfied with these shoes. I'm a novice runner preparing for a 10k and I have 3 other old, worn out pairs of New Balances - always been a fan. I did want to go to a running store and try shoes on for fit and comfort before purchasing, but with the holidays approaching, I couldn't find the time. I ordered these based on the reviews and I'm very happy with them. I'm a true size 7 and ordered a 7.5 and they fit just right. I suppose my feet are on the narrow side but I am fine with the overall fit length and width-wise. They are extremely lightweight yet supportive. The tops are so breezy that your feet would be chilly on a cold day, and when you're running, you can barely tell you have shoes on. I'm a fan.

Irritating left ankle

Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2020

Verified Purchase

I wear a size 7 in Nike's so I went with a 7 here and they fit the same. They sole feels comfortable walking around the house but of course I haven't put them to the real test going outside. Reason being, I don't think I'm going to keep these. The right shoe feels fine around the ankle, the left shoe is irritating the back of my ankle. I can't understand why because the material feels the same in both shoes but the left one is irritating my skin. Bummer because they are pretty stylish but I can't do intense cardio in them.
