New BalanceMen's Vazee Rush V3 Running Shoe

Everything about these shoes were perfectly thought out. Starting from the bottom, The treads have good grip. The treads are in no way showy, but that's a good thing. In particular, I noticed more mass on the inner ball of my foot, when compared to my old sneaks. The added mass gives each step a little more pop an pep. The foam is soft, but not spongy like newer addidas shoes: once again, a plus.The mesh is a pearl color in person. I'm not worried about them getting too dirty because it's not an optic white that shows dirt too easily. The gold flecks are tactile and sewn on. Finally the shoe laces are a little strechy which allows easier insertion. You won't be able to mash your foot in these and just magically slip them on, but they're not difficult by any means. Once on, they feel like a light hug all around the foot.Size is perfectly in line with the last New balance pair, the 520 V3

I love New Balance sneakers, but I had to give these away because they ran a little small and I'm too lazy to send anything back to Amazon. No biggie. I ordered another pair. Thing is, I think my feet have actually gotten a little longer and wider with time. Being 40 pounds overweight, that additional daily pounding has to be doing a number on my former 8 1/2 2E's.The New Balance size that actually fit? 9 4E's.A big part of the problem is that the pleasure that food gives me is way better than any "runner's high" I might get. So I eat instead of workout. When my dad passed away in December of 2015, my mom blurted out that I was a "heart attack waiting to happen." Don't feel bad. She's always said things like that, being a bi-polar dry alcoholic. What do parents have to say such hurtful things to their kids? They're the real bullies sometimes.Anyway, I hope my friend enjoys these sneakers, which were too small for my fat middle-aged feet.

I have 4 pairs of these shoes in different colors and LOVE them. I can't praise them enough. It's very difficult for me to find running shoes that fit properly, as I have rather small boned feet. I realize that most men on here have complained that the shoes are too short or too narrow. That is precisely why I love them! In stead of being the usual men's shoe that swallows up my feet and feel to loose...these fit perfectly! I'm planning on buying ever color they have because I am rotating them, in order to not wear them out too soon. Plus...my podiatrist really encourages New Balance shoes for my planters fasciitis .

I bought these shoes and loved the looks when I got them. I ordered two different pairs of New Balance running shoes and as soon as I pulled them out of the box, I could tell they were smaller than the other pair. They were also smaller than other pairs of New Balance shoes I have in the same size.They looked great and when I first put them on, they were very comfortable. However, after about 30 minutes I found my heel began to ache. I wondered if it was just something about that day so I tried them again a while later and had the same problem. When I looked at them closely, there seemed to be more of a bump at the top of the heel area than my other New Balance shoes. I have plantar fasciitis so my feet are more sensitive now than they used to be so it might not bother others.I loved the looks of these shoes and would have loved to keep them but with the heel discomfort, i had to send them back. The other New Balance Shoes I have don't have that problem so I don't know if it this line or if there was something different in the shoes I received.

New Balance seems like it should be a dad shoe, and that may be why I only got them once I became a dad. They fit well and work great as a casual shoe. They work well with moderate intensity as I wear them walking, running, biking, and hiking. I'm not doing intense activities in them beside running. But they definitely cover a broad spectrum in the mild/moderate intensity category. Exactly the shoe you want when your kiddo wants to do 4 different things in a day.

I have narrower feet so the tighter fit of these was great but, they run very short, My toe was in touching the front. Same size I have had in New Balance and same size I have tries at the store. It's just this model/run that seems to have been made small.Can't tell if they would be comfortable or if I wanted to keep them because they're too small.

I had some old running shoes that I needed to replace as I was training for a 15K. 4 weeks before the race I decided to choose New Balance only because I’ve never heard anyone say anything negative about their shoes,I never owned a pair (curious), and they seem to have a positive reputation. I wish I would have tried them sooner as they are the best shoes I’ve ever ran in.

I put over 290 miles on each of my two previous pairs of the second generation NB Rush shoes, and after wearing these for only a few runs so far, I expect to get the same distance out of these. The fit is similar to the previous generation's shoes. The most notable difference for me was that the upper on the generation 3 shoes seems a bit more structured.
