The New Balance Women's 411 V1 has quickly become my go-to pair of shoes for just about everything! From the moment I put them on, I knew I’d found something special. These shoes are not only incredibly comfortable, but they’re also versatile and stylish enough to match with different outfits.
The comfort is top-notch. I can wear these all day long without feeling any foot fatigue, which is saying something since I’m always on the move. Whether I’m running errands, walking, or even wearing them for longer days, they feel light and cushiony. They grip my feet snugly without being too tight, and the support is perfect for both walking and light running. They feel soft enough to give you that bounce in your step but sturdy enough to keep your feet secure and well-supported.
One of the things I love most about these shoes is how well they've held up over time. After 6 months of daily use, there are still no signs of wear or tear. The body of the shoe is intact—no fractures or cracks—and it looks just as good as when I first bought them. The fact that you can easily clean them with a damp cloth is a huge plus. After a quick wipe down, they look good as new!
Another bonus is that they don’t absorb odors, which I really appreciate, especially after wearing them for long periods or during active days. I’ve owned shoes before that would start to smell after a while, but these have stayed fresh throughout months of use.
What makes these shoes even better is their versatility. They look great with athletic wear for a sporty vibe, but they also work surprisingly well with business casual outfits. I’ve paired them with jeans and even dress pants, and they seamlessly complete the look. Stylish and functional—what more could you ask for?
If you’re looking for a comfortable, durable, and stylish pair of shoes that can handle both casual and more professional looks, the New Balance Women's 411 V1 is a fantastic choice. I can confidently say these are worth every penny, and I’ll definitely be getting another pair when the time comes!

For the most part, good.
For the price, these shoes are pretty comfortable. I have them on now as I’m writing this review. There’s cushion padding on the outside of your feet, holding your feet steady in the shoe, if that makes sense. Not a ton of arch support, but decent. I appreciate the heel cushion support. The heel lip doesn’t come up as high as I would have hoped, but it’s okay. I got the 8.5 wide, and that’s my normal size. The toe box fits great. Keep in mind I’m trying these on around 4 pm, so I’ve been on my feet already most of the day. They aesthetically look gross coming out of the box, but once on your feet, they look nice. Like a dad shoe would. I’ve never owned new balance, I usually buy Nikes or Adidas, or Puma. But these are pretty nice for the price. I’m doing a lot of walking and needed a solid shoe that didn’t break the bank. I have pretty bad plantar fasciitis that acts up once I get out of bed, and at the end of the day if I run a lot of errands. It’s very difficult for me to find comfortable shoes that work all day long. I have a bit of extra weight on me, and these feel pretty supportive considering my weight. I’ll keep my review updated when I come back from my trip that I’ll be taking these on.Update 3.13.24: There isn’t much of a breaking period needed. I’ve worn these running errands over the past few days and they’ve been comfortable. However- the insole offers no support whatsoever for plantar fasciitis. Fear not though! You are able the take the insoles out that it comes with. I put in my plantar fasciitis inserts that I got from Amazon (highest rated one, can’t remember the name) and my feet feel MUCH better and more supported.3.17.24: Post trip, they held up well. I was working 11 am- all day, into the next day, around 1 am/2 am. I had to be on my feet nonstop, and these worked really well. Day 2 of my 3 day trip, my feet were hurting a bit, I worked until 3 am, running errands and organizing a home. When I came home I had to massage my heels the most. Day 3 my feet were doing well during the day, and in the evening around 9 pm they started hurting again. When I got to my hotel I took Aleve and I iced my heels. Still would recommend these shoes, great for the most part. Lightweight and easy to pack.
