Review: Definitely worth a try! - I’ve been running in a pair of Walmart sneakers for months now. Nothing wrong with starting where you can, especially if it involves budget BUT I knew as I continued to add mileage that I was going to need to invest. Not ready to pull the trigger on $100+ and after much research I decided on these and with the sale of $80 something it was too good not to try. I wear a size 5 shoe, sometimes 5.5. Super tiny feet! But I went up to a 6 since it would be my main set of running shoes and the fit is perfect! They are definitely quality and the action of the shoe itself is described fair and was reviewed accurately by everything I’ve seen or read. I knocked out a 6.75mi run on the treadmill and I literally can’t go back to my Walmart sneakers. Just a drastic difference. Major improvement! Highly recommend and were comfortable for the entire run.
Review: Great shoes - some of my favorite shoes. My feet are picky and they like these shoes! They are comfortable, look nice, fit great, and make my size 14 feet actually look smaller. Worth the price, and they seem to be holding up quite well.

*by B***R on December 24, 2025*

some of my favorite shoes. My feet are picky and they like these shoes! They are comfortable, look nice, fit great, and make my size 14 feet actually look smaller. Worth the price, and they seem to be holding up quite well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best choice
*by M***Z on August 30, 2025*

These New Balance Fuelcell Rebel V4 sneakers have quickly become my favorite shoes! I use them for running, daily wear, and even for work, and they perform perfectly in every situation. The cushioning is outstanding—soft yet responsive—which makes long runs and long hours on my feet feel so much easier. They are extremely lightweight and breathable, keeping my feet cool and comfortable all day. The support is excellent, and I’ve noticed a big improvement in reducing foot and leg fatigue. Plus, the design is stylish and versatile, so they look great whether I’m exercising, at work, or just out and about. I couldn’t be happier with this purchase. If you want shoes that combine performance, comfort, and style, these are absolutely worth it. Highly recommended!
