Great shoes for Pickleball on both outdoor and indoor place surfaces
I was struggling to find a decent pair of Kource shoes I can use to play pickle ball. My struggle was in that I wanted a comfortable pair that had a wide toolbox and was easy to put on and takeoff and was reasonably durable and wouldn’t wear down after only a couple weeks. I’m a casual player about 1 to 2 sessions per week. I play mostly on hard services outdoors, but also on gymnasium floors in the cold months these shoes have surpassed my expectations. They’re incredibly comfortable very easy to slip off. They provide great balance and stability and there’s plenty of room in the tow box for my big wide feet to spread out in and not feel crammed. I’ve had them for about eight months and the souls have worn down at this point, which is pretty good. I didn’t expect them to last more than six months. I think I can get another four months out of them unless my place give me increases. I’ll be looking to replace them with the same pair this spring.

Best Running Shoes I’ve Owned
I’ve been through many running shoes and have either tolerated previous pairs or thought they were decent at best. My buddy recommended New Balance to me so I gave these a go. Needless to say I’m never going back to another brand for running shoes.They’re well built, have great cushioning, large souls, and fit my feet nearly perfectly. The second I put them on they felt comfortable, and when I ran I felt like I had springs assisting my run. Immediately hit a PR, and now 3 months later, I ran my first half marathon. GOATED shoes and I’ll definitely try their other models once these begin to age.Note that these do seem to run slightly smaller than other shoes I’ve tried. I ended up getting half an inch smaller than my usual fit, but that could very for each person.

Very Comfy, Very Bouncy
I love New Balance shoes because I have wide feet and NB graciously makes almost all of their shoes in a wide version. But they also make excellent shoes, and that goes pretty much for every NB shoe I've worn. When I find a NB version I like, I usually buy several pairs and use them for a couple of years. I think I've gone through six pairs of 442 TF shoes for soccer.As for running shoes, I'm not much of a real runner, but I do it to keep in shape. I got the NB FuelCell Propel v4 to replace a pair of 890s. The 890's were fantastic--so light that it felt like I wasn't wearing anything. I also really liked how the uppers fit like a sock.The FuelCell Propel V4, even though it's a version behind now, is a more modern running shoe with more modern cushioning. Yeah, we've gone from the sort of minimalist phase to running on marshmallows. But I'll tell you what, the Propel's feel pretty damn amazing when you put them on. The cushioning is amazing, like you're walking on clouds. But not just regular clouds; very springy clouds. That's where the FuelCell technology comes in with the TPU inserts in this shoe. I have to tell you, the energy return is pretty fantastic. The first time I put these guys on, I felt like I had to learn how to walk again--boing, boing, boing! I've probably put 30 miles on them now--treadmill, pavement, trail--and they run great on all surfaces. Super stable, super comfortable, and I love them.So why only four stars? Two reasons. First, there is no gusseted tongue. Okay, this isn't a major thing and I haven't had any issues with the tongue coming out of place on either shoe. But I really loved the feeling of the 890s with their gusseted tongue. The uppers just made it felt like the shoe was a part of my foot. NB really missed the mark by leaving this feature out. Second, these shoes are just a little bit on the heavier side. I'm not a marathon runner so it doesn't really bother me, and it's not like I'm thinking about it while I'm running. I'm just pointing it out. Really, I'd give these shoes 4.5 stars. If they had the gusseted tongue, they'd be a 5 stars all the way.

super comfortable shoes for work
I wear these sneakers for work; they are very comfortable since I spend the whole day on my feet.I recommend this brand; this is the third pair I've bought.

All around winner.
This was a really nice pair of shoes. Better than the V5 actually. I did 10+ miles per day in them for more than a month and they were great. Expect about 300 miles out of them.

Flashy but not lasty
I play 4-5 days a week, the shoes were comfortable but the soles wore out to quickly for me, 2-3 months.
