About New Balance 411 V1 Training Shoe
Overall Feedback:
95% positive
73% liked the lightweight feel, but 27% found them too heavy for intense workouts
The shoes are not suitable for long term comfort as they are heavy and hurt my feet, even with gel insoles added.
90% appreciated the stability
The shoes are stable and can withstand falls, mud, and sharp steps. They just get dirty and can be cleaned easily.
72% highlighted the slip resistance, but 28% experienced slipping on certain floors
Ignore the non-slip rating as it is false and can lead to accidents in slippery conditions. Regular tennis shoes perform better on slippery surfaces.
92% liked the durable build, but 8% noticed quick wear and tear
The sidewalls and back wall of my shoes hold up well to repeated slipper use, but they will eventually break down with time.
I am concerned that I am not getting full use out of the shoes due to poor bonding of the glue between the sole and shoe body. Every single pair has failed in the exact same way.
My shoes' soles are coming away and they should have lasted more than 4 months.
The adhesive used for the sole of my shoe is not as durable as in past styles purchased, resulting in the sole separating from the body of the shoe after approximately 8 months of wear.
89% liked the stylish design, but 11% thought they looked plain
I find the design and aesthetics of the shoes boring and express my disappointment.
The design of these shoes forces my feet into pronation, which may not be suitable for everyone.
93% found it comfortable, but 7% mentioned discomfort after long periods
These shoes are comfortable and lighter than many I have had in the past.
I find the shoes comfortable and they do not cause arch issues, despite not having strong arch support.
Wearing the shoes feels like a firm plastic foot cover, indicating discomfort.
I have always liked the comfort and fit of New Balance shoes, but this pair was not comfortable. It felt like someone was applying pressure on the ball of my foot constantly. I returned the shoes and plan to go to my other style that has always fit without issue.
69% liked the breathable design
My husband likes these shoes because they have minimal material with holes for ventilation, preventing sand from causing discomfort.
The shoes are breathable and did not cause any discomfort due to swollen feet. They did not pinch or create divots or pressure marks.
