Been buying for years, they always fit
I’ve been buying NB for years and wanted this model for trail use. The local store didn’t carry them but I figured I’ve rarely tried them on because they consistently fit. So I bought them here (online) and wasn’t disappointed. I find NB shoes last a long time and they’ve never come apart, even wearing them in all weather (including snow and rain).Over all I like these shoes.The tread design works well “off road”. I use them to walk the dogs or jog in the woods on the local dirt trails. I find them comfortable and fit as expected and the traction is good. Also, mud doesn’t cake in them, I’m able to easily stamp the dirt off.Two downsides: 1) the laces are thin (yet strong) strings which easily slide through the eyelets which I find difficult to snug the shoe. I pull and when cinching the knot they let go just a bit. Plus they come undone often. It has been difficult to tighten the bottom and work up because they slide through the holes quickly. My running shoes have thicker laces and stay tight. Yes, Laces are simple to replace.2) the arch support could be better. They do have support, but I could use a bit more. Other shoes I’ve had came with little shims, it would be nice if NB could do something like that.

Runner's Shoe for Outdoors
I have purchased 3-4 pairs of this running shoe. I run 6x per week x 3 miles = 18 miles per week. I need to replace my shoes every 6 months; otherwise, the shoe lose the support (normal for runner)1) Shoe is semi-water proof. The sole of the shoe does not get wet2) Shoe is semi-warm for running in the winter3) Medium support. Not great, but just enough.4) I wear old runner shoe for casualI work from home and wear a separate indoor running shoe for support. I cannot wear Slippers or walking around the house in bare feet for long periods of time.My only negative is that I cannot buy a 11-3E shoe size. 4E is a little wide, but I make it work.

A great fitting shoe, a name I trust.
I have end-stage liver disease, and for several years I've been battling edema. Even the largest socks wouldn't fit me. Finally, I got a Hepatologist who cares enough to really work with me, and since August of 2022, I've had no Edema. Still a little hesitant, I went with a pair of New Balance. I've worn these in the past for many years, and always trusted then to be durable, good-looking and always a great fit. I ordered these in my old size (10.5W) instead of the size 12 Amazon recommended. They fit perfectly, look great, and have a nice grippy (that's a technical term, btw) sole. As to durability, we'll have to see...but I don't expect to be disappointed.

Best Shoe for Me
This New Balance shoe is the best for me and the neuropathy I suffer in my left foot and lower leg. I've tried others, even with the comfort insoles, but it's the New Balance that offers me the most comfort. I literally wore out my last pair my daughter had purchased for me, and they had no rips, no tears, no glue separation anywhere, just a slick sole and now a broken down insole. With so many model numbers to choose from I wasn't certain what my model number was and had to rely on my daughter's memory, which happened to be the older version of these, Model 481. I swear I almost heard my left foot go, "Ahhhh" when I put these on and tied them up. These are the newer 481-All Terrain, with a memory foam insole, and a cushioned heel. It's almost someone at New Balance new exactly what type of shoe I needed, because here it is!! Very comfortable and I can wear these all day long without wincing in pain halfway thru the day. I can no longer walk as long or as far as I used to, but at least now I can walk a lot further than I did in those other shoes I've tried. Yep, for me these really work and I hope they last as long as my last pair.

not bad for the money
I bought the these 481 V3 trail shoes and the 510 V5 trail shoes to compare the quality, style and fit. Both were on sale for the same price and I had limited selection. Immediately the V3 looked really cool and were a "roomy" fit But I got the x-wide. The shoes were good but not great. I received the same size 510 V5 and there was a clear up grade in fit, construction, and pronation support. The V5 is the superior shoe and the V3 is a good shoe the price was in line with the value. a much better shoe than the Avia's and Red Wings.

These shoes are great!
I really like these shoes. My feet are wide, and the shoes (extra wide) allow for the needed room for my toes. I am not cramped. These are the best, new shoes I've ever had. Usually, shoes hurt my feet after a couple hours until I wear them in. I can wear these all day long before they hurt at all.

Give them a chance.
I had an older version of these that I replaced after five years with another brand. Big mistake as those fell apart after six months. I have not purchased footwear on line and was hesitant as I like to try shoes on in a store setting and walk the isle. No local dealer had NB so I decided to try Amazon. I am very happy I did. These are the same old NB Trail Runners I remember. They are wide and comfortable on my feet. The sole is a little deeper but on cold mornings they offer needed warmth. Get them and I doubt you will be disappointed.

Overall a well built nice fitting shoe.
I have really high arches, and the description seemed to indicate they had good high arch support, unfortunately this wasn't the case. People with average arch height should be fine with the arch support gjven.

Overpriced for the comfort levels.
Really uncomfortable. They don’t feel like any New Balance I’ve had before. Very sore on the soles of my feet. Didnt come with any tags of other product info. Bit dodgy maybe.Also, please confirm delivery date before you buy as the date changed significantly between me clicking buy and the confirmation email coming through.

Complacido con la compra
He usado durante años tenis New Balance, todo terreno; con ésta nueva compra quedo complacido una vez más, el producto supera mis expectativas en cuanto a calidad y comodidad; además talla exacta. Dentro de 800 km de carrera (aprox) compraré un segundo par.

TENIS MUY COMODOS!!
Son unos tenis muy comodos pero a mi me quedarón un poco apretados y los tuve que devolver, pero de apariencia muy bien y los materiales igualmente voy a pedirlos nuevamente, pero medio numero mas grande ya que al pedirlos no me fije muy bien en las tallas en la opcion D,W, y 4E yo soy del numero 28 México, y habia pedido el 27.5 cm D pensando que venia un poco mas largos pero por eso me quedarón un poco apretados, lo ideal mide tu planta del pie y pide el que te marque la medida de lo largo y sobre las opciones D,W, Y Son el ancho de tu Horma de menor a mayor.

New Balance definitivamente dejo de ser lo que era
Una característica de esta marca era la comodidad que ofrecía,la durabilidad es ambigua como en cualquier marca que depende de los modos y formas de uso.mas por alguna razón en general las medidas y hormas vienen reducidas y de punta muy estrecha...otras marcas, aunque utilizan materiales reciclados, siguen siendo cómodos y suaves,este en particular es duro, la plantilla nada cómoda, aun cuando es 4E (X WIDE) es angosto y la punta aunque en la foto se ve ancha y redonda, en talla 30cm pareciera no la modificaron por lo que es estrecha.Desde hace unos años en MX no se encuentra la horma 4E(X WIDE) y mucho menos la 6E(XX WIDE), hoy aun cuando hay ya una boutique en la CDMX, solo hay horma regular hasta la talla 29 y en algunos modelos hasta el 30CM...Amazon y NewBalance US son los únicos lugares donde se encuentran más modelos y más tallas, aunque el detalle de venir reducidos y no amplios en proporción es mundial, porque un 30 - 4E viene con una etiqueta de WIDE cuando en realidad 4E corresponde a X-WIDE...en fin, si eres de pie ancho y empeine alto piénsalo dos veces porque vienen reducidos...Ya Olvídate que la suela y la plantilla en este como en otros modelos es DURA-RIGIDAvan de regreso!

Comodo, pero con imperfecciones
Primero lo positivo: son muy comodos, a diferencia de usar converse esto es como caminar sobre almohadas de ganso.Lo negativo: como se ve en la foto, las N de New Balance venian rotas, ademas que la tela esta como mal cosida. Tendré que ver cuanto duran.Para el precio esperaba mas calidad.
