New BalanceMen's mx409v3 Casual Comfort Training Shoe

I have been wearing New Balance shoes for years. I tried the casual comfort version this time and they are a bit different than what I am used to. The shoe itself is very similar to the other New Balance shoes that I have had but the memory foam sole took a while to break in. At one point, I felt like the back of the sole was broken in but the front felt like it was too high. I wore them for another week and they feel great now.If you have never worn shoes with memory foam soles, they are different. They are comfortable after they are broken in and eventually the foam seems to flatten and lose its effect. I wasn't a big fan of the Sketchers memory foam shoes so I was hesitant to try these.I will probably go back to the cross-trainer New Balance next time but these shoes are very close to the same thing.

My husband loves this shoes. He is a teacher and as such, he is on his feet for long periods of time. This shoes have been the best for many years. I get him a pair every year.🤗I am going to purchase another pair next week cuz the school year will start soon.

I always loved New Balance sneakers, but haven't been able to get them in my size in the big-box stores I usually shop at. I decided to try Amazon and as usual, not only did they have me size in stock, but they had several styles to choose from. I selected the MX409V3. The shoes came pre-laced and ready to wear. I decided to break them in where I work (and I'm constantly on my feet). They felt great! They fit just right for the size I ordered (10 D US). With the NB Ultra Soft Comfort Insert, I literally felt like I was walking on air, a feeling I used to always get with New Balance sneakers. After wearing them for my entire shift at work, I experienced no blisters, no soreness, and no leg or foot cramps.I hope New Balance continues to make this style, because when it's time to buy again, I will look for this style first.

I've had several pairs of these. They are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I have noticed that the quality has dropped with each pair. Not much but, some.

A bit stiff, but I'm hoping that goes away as I break them in. First pair of sneakers I have ordered on-line, so wasn't sure what to expect.13Feb2017 - Update - Been using the sneakers for several weeks, and a black dust seems to rub off the bottom of them. I use them on my treadmill a lot, and I have a small pile of dust at the back of the treadmill where each foot hits the tread. The back of the sneaker also has residue of the dust (enough to stain white socks if they touch the residue). Haven't had this problem with my previous pair of Nike or Saucony sneakers.

I paid right around $30 which is about as much as I wanted to spend. I've bought 2 pairs of shoes online now, this and a pair of etnies for the same price. I use the new balance for work, and I have to tell you that they are extremely comfortable. I thought there would be an adjustment period, but from the get go they have been great! The etnies I use as casual wear and they are comfortable enough as well, but I tend to work anywhere from 3 to 15 hour shifts and I'm standing/ walking for all of it. I'm very glad I bought these bad boys. I wear a size 10, but I always go half a size to a full size up. It'll save your feet people!

This particular item is my choice over many many other item numbers that I 've worn over many years ... the only issues are rubber toe guard separates and needs to be reglued as well as inner heel liner material wears thru and is no longer effective. I walk a lot on concrete as well as general surfaces and this shoe is light, durable and, over time, its leather assumes your foot shape to become very comfortable to wear.

These seem to outlast any other athletic shoes I've owned. Even though these are Training shoes, I use them as walking shoes. I have been very happy with them. Other shoes, including lightweight New Balance walkers, will last 2-3 months. I easily get 6 months (over 1,100 miles) of use on hard surfaces(sidewalks and paved bike trails). Last pair lasted over a year.The fit is good but not perfect. I have a wide foot -pretty much an E width but a narrow heal. These D's are snug when new but within a week fit perfectly.

They fit good
