Buy Them! Very comfortable for pronated flat feet. Arishi V4
First off, these New Balance Arishi V4, running shoes are very comfortable, do not drag when walking. They put a spring in my step.One might say I have too many shoes. Maybe. But I like having variety and I'm always looking for comfort as wellI wear a size 12, I am 6 ft 1 250 lb and I frequent the gym 4+ plus days a week. I am lean but do like to do cardio. The feeling, sweating it out.I was looking for a pair of comfortable shoes to walk around in. Just randomly browsing. I was looking for specific shoes to help with my arches, which I barely have. I have flat feet and my left ankle pronates. It's an injury from my skateboarding and boxing probably more than 20 years ago. I am not sure as one day I noticed my ankle was off. Maybe I am just made this way LOL. I wear a special insoles made custom. I have many other decent insoles, full and 3/4 length. It's not as bad as it seems, at least I say that lol. Came across these and the Asics gt-2000.For the price that I paid for these, they were very worth it. They were on sale, I saw my size, and ordered them.The shoes look very good in person, is good as in the item picture.Weight - they are very light, I'm not getting too technical by weighing them, but as light as some of my lightest running shoes are.Material - the material and style of the outside of the shoe is particularly interesting. I like the way it's got a fuzzy kind of soft material. The inside are very comfortable and support and comfort the foot.Ride - The ride is smooth, good for heal strikes. Very good ankle support. These definitely are a 5 star shoe. Some weeks I can do about 20+ miles on the treadmill, mostly walking at an incline. So I need good shoes.I also purchased the Asics GT-2000.The New Balance Arishi V4 and the Asics GT-2000 are similar and different. The GT 2000s are a more of a serious running shoe, hold the heel in place better, are bouncy. They are meant and can't work for longer distances. That isn't to say the Arishi V4 isn't great in their own right. They do it 90% just as well for a fraction of the price.So if you're looking for a running shoe or walking shoe, generally a decent shoe and you have flat or pronated feet, look no further. These are the shoes for you. I noticed they don't have many reviews, so trust me definitely worth trying. For the price I paid, < $30ish, I think they are better than other running shoes I've owned. The tech must be getting better, new innovations. I can go on and on. These are great shoes.

Pretty, supportive and lightweight
I absolutely love these New Balance. They are lightweight yet supportive and not too bulky. I have high arches and required good soft support. No blistering, rubbing and they also don’t make my feet too hot, so they have good ventilation. The colors are great neutrals that go with anything!

Favorite shoes for walking
True to size super comfortable and cute - My favorite tennis shoes, I’m on my second pair (but my first pair lasted 2 years and I wear them all the time).

Comfortable and light weight
I absolutely love the fit and style of these sneakers! They are lightweight, with cushy yet supportive insoles that make them comfortable for extended wear. The mix of textures in the fabric and sole adds a stylish touch while maintaining great functionality. Please note that I am not a runner, so I cannot comment on how these are for running shoes.My only issue is with the laces. When pulled tight, they tend to thin out and feel more like a string. At one point, I tied them too tightly, and they pressed uncomfortably into the top of my foot. If you check the zoomed-in photo, you’ll see how the lace loses its thickness when tied versus when it’s loose. While the shoes remain very comfortable, I’ve found that I just need to be mindful not to over-tighten the laces.

Buy them!
I needed good support sneakers to go to Disney, this were the perfect choice!The support is great, i walked for 12 hours aprox. per day and they felt like a cloud, super soft, light-weighted and perfect for hot weather.Super good quality, neutral color. Loved them!

Too wide
I purchased these shoes in a women's 10(regular not wide). I like them but they are very wide. I usually struggle with shoes bc they are not wide enough. To me it seems like these are "wide fit" even though I know they offer a wide option that is not what I purchased. I bought the regular fit and they feel too wide. I have to wear thick socks with them and tie the laces tight so they won't feel so big. This is the reason i gave them 3 stars. I like the look and feel over all.

Love that fabric!
Fit great, comfy, but I really purchased them to havesomething to run errands in that wasn’t so blatantly a tennis shoe. I really like the color and fabric.I wouldn’t get these for work if I had to be on my feet all day. There are better New Balances (or Hokas) for that.

Comfy. Not Hoka but good for the price.
Good shoes for the price. Not quality of Brooks or Hoka but fine for walking.
