You don't have to spend hundreds of dollars on a pair of comfy sneakers anymore. Thousands of shoppers are raving about these New Balance running shoes for their supportive, pain-free fit -- and they're on sale for $60 now.
The New Balance Fresh Foam Arishi V4 Running Shoes are a favorite among many healthcare workers who wear them during long work days. One nurse who works 12-hour shifts noted that the comfy shoes look cute, and their feet don't hurt once the workday is over. Another nurse called the sneakers "life savers," and compared them to $170 shoes from other brands that didn't prevent foot pain in the same way.
The shoes are made with lightweight mesh fabric, cushioned midsoles, and durable outsoles that prevent you from sliding. And while the shoes come with traditional laces, many shoppers confirm that you can replace them with bungee or elastic ones to easily slide into them.
The shoes are approved by reviewers with all kinds of foot conditions, too, including a shopper with plantar fasciitis and flat feet. "I walked over 15,000 steps for three days straight and did not have pain for the first time in many years," they wrote. And another shopper with wide, size-12 feet shared, "The toe box on this shoe is so comfortable I have caught myself swinging into bed at night and realizing I haven't taken my shoes off yet!"
Another happy customer who wore the shoes during a 16-trip to Europe wrote that they never had sore feet or blisters, even after walking 25,000 steps a day. One final shopper with foot arthritis wrote, I bought these for vacation and was hoping I wouldn't slow down everyone I was with. I was able to keep up and then some."
