New Balance Men's Fresh Foam Vongo V3 Running Shoe

I despise the feeling of heelstriking. As such, when I run, I land on the forefoot. I also have broad forefeet. These sneakers have the lowest heel-to-toe drop (4mm) of any new balance shoes and accommodate a wide forefoot while their lace-up system(four independently laceable sections of upper) keeps any midfoot region geometry snug. The tongue doesn't run into the ankle at the deepest dorsoflexion points.Biggest improvements over the prior two versions: they added a printed plastic overlay to enhance durability of the outer foot (It's only taken me a year to get through each of my prior two pairs of earlier versions of this shoe. This is wearing them everyday in all contexts(walking totals of around 5 miles a week) and additionally running 10 miles a week.)Very pleased to see NB continue to maintain the core form of these shoes while tweaking them for durability, as they are brilliantly designed for comfort. Having tried Brooks Adrenaline gts, Saucony Iso and Triumphs, and Asic's Dynaflyte, in addition to these shoes, on the basis of runrepeat ratings prioritized by the metrics I care about (low heel-to-toe drop, wide toebox, flexible forefoot), just in case any competition had caught up to the design of these yet, I found these easily overwhelmed the competition in all categories. Really, these so outpace the spectrum of competitors that RR needs to adjust their scale, so that these can demonstrate a 10 and all competitors fall around 6 or 7.

These may be the most comfortable running shoes I have ever put on. I was always a NB client until some years back when I became dismayed about the direction the comfort and build type the shoes were going. So i switched to ASICS and have been a loyal and completely satisfied customer. With Prime Wardrobe, I had the opportunity to try NB again. (Size 17 shoes are hard to walk into a store and try on, so Wardrobe let me try on multiple 17's) This was the most comfortable pair of shoes I have ever tried on. Ever. It was like walking on cloud. The only problem, and it's not a shoe problem but my problem, is these are for Overpronators. I have normal arches so these had feeling like I was walking on an angle, with the insides of my feet raised just a bit too much from the great arch support and putting too much pressure on the outsides of my feet. Simply put, it made me feel like I was bow legged. Sucks for me! But I am still giving them 5 stars because of their comfort. If you have overpronation in your feet, bite the bullet and spend the money for these. I know they're more expensive than other running shoes, but once you try them on, you'll forget all about the price.

I've been wearing Brooks Beast for about 5 years because I have flat feet. I've been looking to try another more economical sneaker with the same level of support and cushion. These New Balance are the bomb. Great support and my joints and feet feel just as good as the Brooks after a long run. I average about 20 miles a week. They actually feel even more comfortable in the toe area for my bunions lol.

I have tried several brands and models of running shoes, all of them in the $100-$200 price range. I have a mild overpronation issue (because of my flat feet) and have been struggling for months to keep my running comfortable after an injury. I finally found the running shoes that keep me comfortable for some more miles. I love the cushion and stability combination of these shoes and the fit was great. I have put about 50 miles on these and the running sessions are great. Only con I can found is tr fact that the laces are stretchy, not a big deal.

They fit correctly according to size and are very wide even in D size. I have a wide foot and I like that.I find these sneakers very innovative. The feet are definitely inclined outwards. That looks and feels very unusual. I only received them and did not walk and run in the street. But made my first steps inside the house and feel puzzled. Attach photos to show that incline.Update. It's August 23, 2020. These sneakers are the best. Ever. I run every day 5 km. They look like the new ones. Superior quality and support. Sad V4 is not even close to V3.

This order was a replacement for a worn out pair. I searched for model # MVNGOBK3 and it came up. The basic item description matched (I can't vouch for the construction details or know where they came from), but the model number didn't. I gambled (was in a hurry) and ordered anyway and got what I needed. New, not worn. Only, VERY minor, complaint is that there was no padding between the shoe box and the outer box, so the shoe box was pretty banged up. No big deal, very satisfied.

Super comfortable shoes. Soles wear out much too quickly for this price point.

This is really a good shoe! I am pronated and the angled soul helps tremendously. It is also just very comfortable. I bought a white pair for going out. I like the fit and feel so much, that I bought a black pair as well for yardwork and ghetto around the house. May buy a third pair as you never know when they will be discontinued. This happened once before with a new balance shoe.

Comfortable fit as expected; ordered my regular size. Use them for the gym; cardio included and have been great support for the feet so far.

Love new balance. I have wide feet and these fit perfectly. Big time cushion in the heel.

Très bon produit mais il faut choisir une taille au dessus de votre taille habituelle

I order uk size 10 and received one with size 9(Left) and one with size 10(right).So much for a 6K shoes..!!pathetic

If I don't wear stability shoes I blister at the top of the arch/lower big toe. I prefer Max cushioned shoes, Hokas iv'e always found too tight across forefoot and too narrow and I have previously ran in ultra boost ST although I have always found the fit sloppy. I previously purchased New Balance 940v3 which I found to probably be the worst trainers I have ever worn. They were crazy heavy and bulky and almost put me off the brand for life. Vongo V3 are not heavy for a stability shoe as the stability mechanism employs a wedge instead of a heavy plate which is effective. They are heavily cushioned and I have got a perfect lock down with no heel slippage. If you want a light stability shoe which is heavily cushioned these are perfect for long runs. I run heavy 185lbs and have completed numerous marathons and halfs without issue. I now own 2 pairs and may well stack
