Pros & Cons
Pros
They’re still the best constructed, most comfortable, most durable shoes on the market. They are so comfortable with extra padding and they fit as expected for my normal shoe size. They fit snugger than my usual nb shoes, so can't put in cushioned ins... Read More
This is the 2nd pair of this cush model of walking shoe that i have purchased. These shoes never disappoint the wearer.
The shoebox is plenty spacious and the lavender color is very faint. I like the rocker type front, that encourages pushing off from front of toe. These are very roomy in the toe area, which feels great to me.
Many 10's are a little tight and wait for breaking them in. The amazon price is still great, especially if you have prime and don't mind waiting a day or two. Amazon, please urge new balance to continue manufacturing the 496 v3 shoe.
Cons
There is a seam on the side of the upper and it rubs at the widest part of my foot. The fit is too wide for me. One of the shoelaces is frayed to the point of breaking. They are worn out and have a hole in the toe after only 3 months.
Highlights
Quality
My latest purchase of these shoes is sitting in my closet with the other “reserve supplies”.
They arrived sooner that expected and i am very happy.
The quality is very good, but i was disappointed with the fit.
Price
The amazon price is still great, especially if you have prime and don’t mind waiting a day or two.
Packaging/appearance
Plenty of room in the toebox and super soft cushion sole.

The bottom of the shoe is nonskid and has beveled edges to “balance you out”
