Full details

The New Balance Fresh Foam ARISHI v4 is a versatile athletic shoe designed for adult males seeking all-day comfort and performance for everyday wear and light athletic activities.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?

The Fresh Foam ARISHI v4 is designed for versatility and everyday comfort, not specialized high-performance running. For marathon running, a shoe with more advanced cushioning and support features would be recommended.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by New Balance, which typically correlates foot length measurements to UK shoe sizes. It is also helpful to try them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly between models.

Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?

While the rubber outsole offers some grip, the mesh upper is not waterproof. These shoes are best suited for dry conditions. Prolonged exposure to wetness may saturate the materials and affect comfort.

What is the primary difference between the ARISHI v4 and other New Balance running shoes?

The ARISHI v4 prioritizes a balance of comfort, style, and versatility for everyday wear and light activities. More specialized running shoes from New Balance may offer enhanced features for specific running types, such as stability, maximal cushioning, or lightweight racing.

How long does the Fresh Foam cushioning typically last?

The longevity of the Fresh Foam cushioning depends on usage intensity and frequency. For everyday wear, it should provide comfort for several hundred miles or a significant period. Regular cleaning and proper storage can help extend its lifespan.

What materials are used in the upper of the Fresh Foam ARISHI v4?

The upper primarily features a breathable mesh material, which aids in ventilation. The description also mentions leather in some variations, contributing to structure and style.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from shoes

This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components. Try applying talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole or to the tongue area to reduce friction.

Discomfort after extended wear

Ensure the correct size is being worn. If the issue persists, consider using cushioned socks or aftermarket insoles for additional support.

Reduced grip on certain surfaces

Check the outsole for excessive wear or debris. Clean the sole with a brush. For slippery conditions, exercise caution as the rubber outsole is designed for general traction, not specialized grip.
