Love these shoes!

Did a search for best running shoes, and these came up. They are great. Very comfortable, and supporting. Won't be my last pair. I wear them for walking, running, cycling, and strength training. They fit as advertised. Seem very durable. Designed extremely well.

Great comfortable shoes

Very comfortable shoes. Very easy to slide on your feet and are very comfortable. I walk every day and these shoes feel like walking on air. I find these shoes true to size. Very lightweight and support is great. I highly recommend these if you are active in walking. Very well built and made to last.

Comfortable, High Quality Shoe

Comfortable and soft enough to get me through longer runs without discomfort. Overall great shoe build and quality, got this on sale so definitely worth the money. I do like the bounciness to it but its not as bouncy and responsive as a speed shoe

Very comfortable

The drop on the v5 feels slightly higher than the v4, but is still sufficiently mid-drop. I could tell when I put them both on one after the other (despite both being labeled as 6mm drop).The v5 wide seems a touch wider in the forefoot than the v4 wide, which is good for me. I feel like the heel fits better on the v5 than the v4 (my heel is narrow-ish btw). The v5 is also noticeably more comfortable overall to my foot.The TPU plate gives you decent bounce to your step and yet a stable feeling while the foam is still very soft & comfortable. Very good combination.My only complaint is that there could be maybe a touch more space where my big toe goes on my right foot only (my right foot is a hair longer than my left it seems based upon my past experience with shoes). There seems to be just a touch less space (either length, width, or height) at this precise exact spot in the v5 than there was in the v4, because I did not experience this sensation at all in the v4.Overall though, great quality for the price, there's no doubt.

Order 1/2 Size Up

Love these shoes. I have the previous version and wore them for workouts and light cardio for times a week over the last year and a half. This new version is the replacement.First off, I love the color of the uppers. Nice blue synthetic mesh with black lettering. It's different than most of what you see and I like that. The sole is NB's FuelCell, which promises it's most responsive energy return cushioning. I believe it, especially because it's paired with a responsive TPU plate. This isn't walking on clouds, folks; it's shooting forward on springs. I have NB soccer turf shoes with FuelCell cushioning and I can't say enough good things about the technology; it just works.My only quibble about the shoes is the sizing. Ive worn NB for a long time; I have wide feet as as most know, NB is famous for providing wide versions of its shoes. Ive been a size 11.5W for a good 40+ years and my feet arent getting any longer. Yet the last two pairs of NB shoes I've purchased in 11.5W have both been definitely too short and also a little narrow. Two different styles--these and the Tektrels--yet both with the same issue. So I returned these in my regular size and went up to a 12W. They fit decently, but not as well as my previous version of the same shoe.Maybe it's just me.and my feet are, in fact, growing in later life, but you may want.to consider 1/2 size up. Regardless, it's a quality shoe and I'm really happy with it.

Solid 2nd Pair

I bought these as a complement to my NB Rebel v4's as while that is a great shoe, I noticed if I alternate a day between wearing the foam seems to recover better between wears. Now for these, they are a touch heavier than the Rebels, but I find them just as comfortable for daily wear. I did replace the laces as I dont car for NB laces in general (tend to stretch to much for my liking). Overall a great everyday shoe as I tend to gravitate towards NB due to their comfort for my particular foot shape. I will likely buy another pair if I can catch them on sale again.Highpoints:Sizing - Spot on with my SZ15Width - If you have a wider than "normal" foot get the wide sizeComfort - Very comfortableStyle - I dig plain these (also prefer mostly gray shoes)Value - Could not pass on these being $60 below retail when I bought themDurability - to be determined, while my Rebel v4's foam has held up well it has stained on the bottom due to road running and walking, but not a big issue to me.
