New BalanceWomen's FuelCore Nergize Sport V1 Cross Trainer

I work for a moving company. Every day I carry all kinds of furniture on all types of surfaces. I usually just buy my shoes from Walmart because my kids shoes cost a fortune and I destroy shoes really fast. I decided this time to change it up and get myself a cute, nice pair.First thing I noticed is I didn’t have to go through the painful “breaking them in phase”. Usually when I buy a new pair, my back and feet will hurt for the first few days. That didn’t happen this time which is always a plus.The shoes arrived quickly, exactly how they were described and they are really cute!I hate buying the anti-slip shoes because they are so bulky and uncomfortable to walk in, so I always look for shoes with decent tread on the bottom. These do great. I haven’t slipped on the ramp or wet tile so far.The material on the side is a little stretchy which is awesome. I usually tie my shoes the first time I put them on, then I don’t untie them. If they start to feel loose I may redo it (I know that’s not very grown-up of me, but oh well). Although they are stretchy, they still stay on my feet when I’m walking backwards.I also wear them to run or if I’m just walking around a lot that day. They do well in every situation.The shoes also do great for quick drying. If I’m working in the rain or the shoes get sweaty and I need to wash them, they dry quickly and are ready to go the next morning without being smelly. They are great shoes, I will probably be buying another pair for the day I bust out of them.

Great pair of tennis shoes

A few things about these...1. Comfort: They are very comfortable, almost like walking in slippers or booties. This is a good thing if you’re using these for walking around but not for exercise. I don’t think they provide enough support for running or exercise, personally.Color: I got the Logwood/Pale Blue color. I love it. But I think the description and screen color are off. There is no pale blue on these sneakers (just some silver outlining) and they are much more blush/pink on the photos. In real life they have more of a tan/purple hue - which I personally love and think it will make a great casual sneaker for me for wearing around the house and going out for errands.Sizing: They do run small so I would say size up at least .5 a size. I wear 7.5 in sneakers so I got an 8.Conclusion: Overall, I feel they are very stylish, cute, comfy and meet my needs for a casual shoe.

This specific one seems quite different from prior ones. While the cut & fit are about spot on, the white foam seems a much less bouncy, but more rigid, almost heavy styrofoam type vs the bouncy cushiony foam of prior shoes. I’ve worn this one now twice, only running errands for a few hours each time so no heavy use or long wear & then foam has visible stress points & creases. I have well worn pairs from 3 years ago that look like this after probably 50 wears. Disappointed in the foam/bottom part this go round.I love this style of shoe, over the last 5 years I’ve had 4-5 diff black white ones as they get used most & I retire them from nice looking to hiking to lawnmowing lol, so they last a while (& currently still have 7 other colors too that are worn when matched) the cut/opening is flattering even with shorts Or t-shirt/sweatshirt dresses - very comfortable, like a not really conforming yet supportive & flexible shoe. I wear the fuel core shoes to hike, mow my lawn, walk dog, workout & just all around leisure. I have a average foot width but size 10 so slimmer, very high arch but tend to like shoes with natural cushion or support vs rigid support, the ties are adjustable to fit the more narrow middle of your foot & then surprisingly they slip on & off & you don’t have to tie each wear. So convenient & a great everyday shoe. Quality seems to be drifting though suddenly as with most things post 2020.

A client of mine was wearing these and I loved them. They were sleek and lightweight. I feel they run small I could’ve used a bigger size but I wore them and couldn’t exchange them any longer. My advice is size up and you will love them!

I work in the dog industry and am always on my feet. I recommend these for long shifts (sometimes I work 12 hr shifts ). The one complaint I have is their durability. I brought these in December 2023 and now it is feb 2024 & these already have a hole in the toe region. (I buy a size up so the shoe is not too small/tight). For how expensive these shoes are this shouldn’t be happening after two/three months of wear. Kinda disappointed since new balence is my go to shoe! Love how comfortable they are but they suck for durability.

I bought these shoes for a trip to Disneyland and never looked back! These shoes were absolutely perfect. I wore them for a few hours here and there before we left, but they needed no breaking in, they were perfectly comfortable right from the start. When we went on our trip to Disney, I wore them all day, every day, for 4 days and never had a discomfort or a need to switch shoes, and no sore feet. It was amazing, I've never had a shoe do that for me before!I don't wear socks with them (I usually don't wear socks, and these seemed to fit perfectly that I thought a sock might add too much bulk).My only qualm would be durability - I don't know if these would withstand work-outs and things where you are harder on shoes. I've had them for less than 3 months, and have since taken them camping and some other things that are kinda hard on the shoes and one of the pieces on the sole is started to separate.I think it depends how much these end up costing (every color is different lol) on if it's worth it to you; for me, they were worth every penny, and I will buy another pair!

This is my 2nd pair of these shoes, love them. Comfortable, true to size, lightweight (perfect for warmer weather).
