Good!

While people liked the New Balance Fresh Foam Arishi v2 for what it had to offer, more than a few of them weren’t happy with some of its parts. While the lightweight construction was praised, the midsole was criticized for being unsupportive of the tendons and muscles of the underfoot. But the flexibility and the general durability of this road companion were highlighted as effective aspects.
