New Balance Men's Fresh Foam Rcvry V1 Slide Running Shoe

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ve been using the New Balance Fresh Foam RCVRY V1 Slide for about two weeks now — and while the first few days felt a bit firm and new, once they broke in (about a week in) they became exceptionally comfortable. From the get‑go, the build quality stands out: the Fresh Foam midsole has a substantial feel, and the massaging footbed adds a nice touch of premium comfort. It’s lightweight and easy to slip on, which makes it perfect for post‑workout recovery, errands, or lounging. The cushioning does more than a typical slide — it genuinely feels like something built with athlete recovery in mind. weartested.org +1 What really cinched it for me is that after roughly a week of wear, the foam softened just enough, the footbed felt more complete, and the upper fit eased in. That transition made all the difference: the slide went from “nice” to “wow, I want to wear these at every opportunity.” The break‑in period was completely worth it. Fit and sizing wise: I found them true to size, but if you anticipate heavier use or long hours standing, you might want to double‑check how your foot feels in the first few uses. User reports indicate excellent comfort especially for wider feet. In short: if you’re looking for a slide that pushes beyond basic comfort and really supports your feet after hard use, this one delivers. The one caveat: don’t expect instant “out‑of‑the‑box” perfect softness — give it a few days to soften up and adapt, and you’ll be rewarded with one of the most comfortable slides I’ve tried. Highly recommended.

Excellent

I wear these slides for doing work around the house, and they're super supportive and comfortable. The cushioning keeps my legs from becoming fatigued, even after I've completed a morning run, but is not overly squishy. I tried Crocs for the same purpose, but Crocs really made my feet hurt. I normally wear women's size 10.5, medium width, in New Balance running shoes, and ordered these in size 9. The fit is just right. Happy I found them!

First thing I noticed when I put them on is that the hexagon shapes at the heel is very sharp, feels like stepping on needles. I had to grind away the foam with a dremel. The fit was a little tight, but a few minutes with a hair dryer resulted in a perfect fit. These do look fantastic and are very comfortable.

I have tried 4-5 different brand and variety of slides and these are the best by far. I have plantar fasciitis and an achilles damage and they have great arch and heel support, but are comfortable and need ZERO break-in. Just take them out of the box and their ready to wear. These slides made my feet feel great! I'd highly recommend them.
