  • Been buying for years, they always fit
I’ve been buying NB for years and wanted this model for trail use. The local store didn’t carry them but I figured I’ve rarely tried them on because they consistently fit. So I bought them here (online) and wasn’t disappointed. I find NB shoes last a long time and they’ve never come apart, even wearing them in all weather (including snow and rain). Over all I like these shoes. The tread design works well “off road”. I use them to walk the dogs or jog in the woods on the local dirt trails. I find them comfortable and fit as expected and the traction is good. Also, mud doesn’t cake in them, I’m able to easily stamp the dirt off. Two downsides: 1) the laces are thin (yet strong) strings which easily slide through the eyelets which I find difficult to snug the shoe. I pull and when cinching the knot they let go just a bit. Plus they come undone often. It has been difficult to tighten the bottom and work up because they slide through the holes quickly. My running shoes have thicker laces and stay tight. Yes, Laces are simple to replace. 2) the arch support could be better. They do have support, but I could use a bit more. Other shoes I’ve had came with little shims, it would be nice if NB could do something like that. ... show more

  • Don't buy the WIDE ones if you are not a large footed individual
My size was not available, only the same size but in WIDE. I thought "meh, they probably fit anyway". NOT. They were too wide. Those are definately made for some wide puppies, I mean, for some big _ss tamales. Nothing wrong with them, they looked awesome. Totally my fault. I want to buy them again in MY size really soon. ... show more

  • Decent Trail Running Shoe, but with Some Drawbacks
I recently purchased the New Balance 481 v3 Trail Running Shoe, and overall, my experience with it has been a mix of positive and negative aspects. While it certainly has some notable features, there are a few drawbacks that prevent me from giving it a higher rating. Starting with the positives, the shoe offers a solid level of traction on various terrains. Whether I was running on muddy trails or rocky paths, the outsole provided sufficient grip, allowing me to maintain stability and confidence throughout my runs. Additionally, the shoe's durability impressed me; it held up well even after multiple rigorous trail runs, showing minimal signs of wear and tear. In terms of comfort, the 481 v3 does a decent job. The cushioning provides a good amount of support, especially when dealing with uneven surfaces. The midsole offers enough responsiveness to enhance my running experience, although it may not be as plush or responsive as some other models in its class. The shoe also offers ample room in the toe box, allowing for natural foot movement. However, the fit of the 481 v3 could be improved. While the toe box is spacious, the overall fit feels somewhat loose, especially in the midfoot area. This can cause a lack of stability, which is not ideal when navigating challenging terrains. The lacing system doesn't do much to address this issue, as it doesn't provide enough lockdown or customization options. Another downside of the 481 v3 is its weight. Compared to other trail running shoes in its category, it feels bulkier and heavier. This can be a disadvantage when seeking speed or maneuverability on technical trails. Additionally, the shoe lacks sufficient breathability, resulting in sweaty and uncomfortable feet during longer runs. Lastly, the design and aesthetics of the 481 v3 are rather plain and unremarkable. While this might not be a significant factor for everyone, I personally prefer a shoe that not only performs well but also looks appealing. In short, the New Balance 481 v3 Trail Running Shoe has its strengths, such as solid traction and durability. However, the issues with fit, weight, breathability, and aesthetics prevent me from rating it higher. If you're looking for an affordable option with decent performance on moderate trails, it might be worth considering, but for more serious trail runners, there are better options available. ... show more

  • Excellent trail runners
Use these shoes for work mostly. I deliver food so I’m outside in all conditions and needed a shoe that’s breathable shoe for all conditions. I can get athlete’s foot if the shoe is not breathable enough. I had a previous version of very similar New Balance trail runners that lasted years, they were excellent. These are basically the same. Thick, rugged outsole for all all conditions. Water resistant yet breathable. When it gets warm out again I’ll use them to run trails in the forest too. Very comfortable and well built. Laces stay tied. These shoes are also good for hiking. I wish the shoes were completely black but they look good. I prefer to wear my waterproof hiking boots when I know I will be stepping through big puddles or if it’s winter conditions. I had to return a previous new balance trail runner that was not nearly as rugged or well built. My only gripe is that the one of the shoe laces got a tiny knot in it that I will need tweezers to loosen. I do not see the need to spend more on trail runners. These trail runners are rugged, inexpensive, light, breathable, and comfortable. I think New Balance discontinued making them so these shoes probably won’t last much longer on Amazon. ... show more
