Our New Balance dad sneaker reviews are logged on this page, so you can navigate through them in detail. We extensively tested different dad sneakers from New Balance, including those that are breathable, orthotic-friendly, and made of mesh. Not only did we personally wear them but we also brought them back to our lab for further scrutinization.
