How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings, help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.

The Fresh Foam is harder than my old Hoka One One pair of shoes. After running 5k, the back of my ankles was tight and painful. I am disappointed by the performance of this running shoes.

1.0 out of 5 stars Nothing like the V2!
Reviewed in the United States on 16 April 2021
Size: 11.5 UKColour: GrisVerified Purchase
I've put a few hundred miles on the Beacon V2 and they are the best running shoes I have ever had. Light, soft as a cloud yet firm enough to handle some distance without excessive leg fatigue and a locked in heel cup. To me, the Beacon V2 is the perfect running shoe. That being said, the Beacon V3 is NOTHING like the V2. The heel cup is the main gripe with these shoes. It is so shallow that no matter how tight I laced the shoes my heel would slide up with each stride causing major pain to my Achilles and the back of my heels. They also changed the sole from the Fresh Foam to whatever the hell Fresh Foam X is. My guess is the X must stand for extra hard because now the shoe is like running barefoot on concrete. These are absolutely awful. Unless you hate yourself and want to be injured, I would avoid this iteration of the Beacon. Absolutely terrible all the way around!

1.0 out of 5 stars No support
Reviewed in the United States on 7 August 2021
Size: 10.5 UK WideColour: GrisVerified Purchase
I do sprint triathlons and thus do a lot of training. I have worn new balance shoes for decades. This shoe is terrible. There is no support or cushioning. I removed the inserts to observe the cushioning and is not even 1/8 of an inch deep. It is like stepping on a thin piece of carboard. The read heel is not for running or walking as it does not strike right.

I always read reviews to help me purchase an item. I and guilty and did not do for this one. I have anohter pair of N.B.'s foam racing shoes and will just go back to that model. Really N. B. how can you put out a foam running shoe touting cushioning and have none.

1.0 out of 5 stars The edge of tongue inside the shoe is sharp! I couldn’t wear them for more than a few miles.

I bought thsi shoe because it is available in a Wide. BUT, the tongue is a separate piece a thick material glued to the interior of the upper. The edge of this material is sharp and scratches the top of my foot. Nice looking shoe but not for me!
