I exceed 20,000 steps a day and the shoes are amazing and are as comfortable, if not more so, than Nikes that are $100 more expensive. I am always looking for a high comfort shoe had a good price and these are perfect.

I was orginally wearing sketcher shoes that had dr schols working insules. As a pharmacy technician it helped, but my feet still hurt from standing all day and it was starting to affect my knees. But once I wore these the difference was night and day. It felt easier to walk, it felt like I was walking on a comfortablely firm cloud, and the ease of slipping on and off makes it easy to get ready in the morning. Definitely worth the investment without a doubt, and they aren’t anywhere as expensive as hokas.

Cons: Yes the sides will wrinkle and get stained over time. As for the wrinkles not sure how to fix that, but the staines just warm soapy water and a wash cloth/paper towel works fine. Also there is two areas under the shoe that don’t have rubber and touch the floor constantly, but so far it’s not a big issue.

First off, I’m a shoe nerd. I admit it. Growing up my Dad would buy us only 𝙏𝙃𝙀 cheapest shoes he could find. They were so bad that we’d wear them out in a couple of months and I should be honest, I am not hard on my shoes, either (my older brother was a different story). Didn’t make a difference. My Dad would rather buy us a pair of new shoes for $20 every couple months rather than spend $35 on ONE pair that would last at least a year (if not more). As a result, when I finally got a job and could buy my own, I had quite a collection. A habit I continue to this day.

With that in mind, within the last year I’ve purchased 2 other pairs of New Balance trail running shoes which were (at that time) the most comfortable pairs of shoes I had ever purchased. Since then I bought a pair of Brooks Ghost Max which replaced those as the most comfortable pair of shoes I had ever owned.

The Fresh Foam X have now replaced (by a slim margin) my Brooks for sheer comfort. I don’t really run, but I DO an awful lot of hiking and walking. So strict comfort is pretty important to me. These shoes are simply brilliant in how comfortable they are. The previously mentioned New Balance Trail runners were, for a lack of a better term, had almost too much cushion. I know, how can a shoe have TOO much cushion? Well, those do…at least for me. For instance, I would never wear them for weight training, especially doing the dead lift. The cushion is SO pronounced that I’d be worried they could pull me off balance a little too easily. But then again, they aren’t designed for weight lifting, so just keep that in mind.

The Foam X shoes are a perfect balance between great cushion and sheer comfort. It must be hard for companies to achieve that balance without going too far but Kudo’s to NB for pulling it off. The soles aren’t as durable as the trail runners perhaps, but oh man are they a joy to wear. Again, since I don’t run I cannot speak to how stable they’d be at doing any long/short distance running but man am I happy with mine.

Overall 𝙏𝙃𝙀 most comfortable shoes I own (and I own a LOT). I am VERY satisfied with my purchase.

We all have our own ideas of what it would be like to walk on air, but it is truly like walking on air when you put on these sneakers. The support is firm yet not stiff. The cushioning is deep yet not too bouncy. It’s the ultimate Pinnacle of technology and design. I will only buy this specific model from New balance going forward. It’s hard to imagine they could improve on this

Unfortunately, I found these shoes to be quite limited in their use. They are specifically designed for running, but even in this context, they have significant drawbacks. The shoes feature a rockered sole, which can be hazardous on uneven surfaces or stairs. This design makes them less versatile and potentially dangerous in certain environments.

When it comes to cushioning, these shoes offer an exceptionally soft and cloud-like feel. While this may sound appealing, it requires your body to adapt to the new sensation, which can be challenging if you switch between these and standard running shoes. The extreme cushioning makes it difficult to maintain consistency in your running form.

I would not recommend these shoes for treadmill use either, as they seem best suited for running tracks. Overall, while they have their merits for specific running conditions, their limitations and safety concerns make them a less than ideal choice for many runners.

Tienen un sistema de amortiguación y retorno de energía que sientes que este par caminan solos para ti.
Literal tus pies van por la nubes.
Aunque están hechos para la carrera, sirven muy bien para trote y para caminata urbana. No vas a querer quitartelos.
Estéticamente destacan por ser tan bonitos, aunque si se notan muy deportivos.
Son amplios de la base del pie, pero algo ajustados del empeine. Si eres de empeine alto, deberás agregar de medio número a uno completo extra a tu talla.
Son a mi parecer, la mejor amortiguación de NB y top 3 de running shoes en el mercado.
