After Wearing the Wrong Shoes for Months, My Podiatrist Told Me to Switch to These Comfy New Balance Sneakers

"I first moved to New York City almost four years ago and was naïve to the type of everyday sneakers my feet needed to adapt to the walkable city. Less than a year into living there, I tore a muscle in my foot from overuse, the result of walking 10,000-plus steps a day, which my feet weren't used to doing in stiff, rigid shoes that had no arch support."

"I can confidently say these New Balance sneakers are some of the most comfortable walking shoes I've owned. Before these, I wore tennis sneakers, combat boots, and skater shoes, giving little thought to how their unsupportive designs and lack of arch support would impact my very flat feet. Straight out of the box, though, the New Balance Roav V1 sneakers made an immediate difference. My feet felt like they were walking on top of a memory foam mattress."

I moved to New York City and tore a foot muscle from walking over 10,000 steps daily in stiff, unsupportive shoes. A podiatrist recommended New Balance for shoes with arch support and cushioning. I selected the Fresh Foam Roav V1 for its sporty look and lightweight, plush feel. The sneakers provided immediate comfort with memory-foam–like cushioning, a squishy foam heel for easy entry, and roomy, flexible interiors that let toes spread. A 10-mile walk across Manhattan produced no lower-back or foot pain and no blisters. Amazon lists select colors on sale, with sizes selling out quickly.
