Customer Reviews New Balance BB888 High

BB888 hight top Basketball - Excellent support in a lightweight shoe. Sturdy and performance features don't give way to style. Extremely comfortable. Highly recommended.

Very comfortable - Very comfortable sneaker. I have had problems with other sneakers where my feet would hurt half way through the day. I bought these right before a big trip. I was able to walk all day without any discomfort.

Delivery time was excellent. The shoe was just about all I expected except for the arch support, could be slightly more. Nothing else to say. Great service, and terms.

NB 888 - The shoes fit really nice. They are true high top basketball shoes. I have a really hard time finding hi-top shoes but Zappos always comes through.

Wide and high - My son has a wide front foot and a narrow heel. This sneaker is wide in the front but ties high on the ankle so it won’t slip and rub on his heel.

Finally, wide enough basketball shoes - My son hasn't used these yet--they will be basketball only. But I was so happy--as was he--to find basketball shoes both long and wide enough for him after some years of not being able to find any. He says they are comfortable.

A True High Top with Great Support - This is a great shoe for basketball players needing strong ankle support because it is a true HIGH TOP. This is our third pair and this shoe has prevented many ankle sprains for my son. The shoe is very durable and looks good too. My son has high arches and we supplement all of our basketball shoes with orthopedic inserts because most shoes today do not have high arch support.

This is the second pair of these I have purchased in a row for my son for basketball. We bought Nike for his first pair and they made his feet hurt the whole season. These shoes are not only extremely comfortable, they give his arches and ankles the support he needs to play an entire basketball game. There are 5 people in our family and we would not THINK of wearing anything else but New Balance!

Best supportive shoe at a great price! We love this brand and this is our second pair. It's a great price and the support it provides my son, who has feet issues, is amazing!

Another winner - New Balance is probably the most comfortable running and athletic shoe since the 70's (IMOP) and has a winner in this model. Very comfortable for my feet, plagued as they are with bunions and weak ankles. They are relatively light for the amount of support they give. I recommend them highly.

New Balance BB888 High - Great shoe. Perfect ankle support. I don't play basketball but I do spent all day on my feet and these are by far the best shoes I've ever bought as far as the ankle support goes.

Excellent - Great shoe, true to size. free shipping, and I received them in 2 days!

New WEB Shoes - I searched for shoes on the web and it seems that Zappos had the largest selection. I have wide feet and where I live; it seems all the retailers don't believe in carrying wide widths. A punch of pussy foots where I live I guess....! Maybe people don't actually realize that they might have wide feet. I know I didn't for quite some time. Regardless, it seems I found a great shoe for a decent price. So far I like 'em and am still breaking them in and feel pretty good so far. Kind if lacking in the arched area, but I have a high arch, so some inserts should work out there. So far NO complaints! Nice shoe!

Scouting and Zappos - I really like the BB888 high- because they take a real beating while I'm at Scout Camp, weather just Camping or trucking around the brush...and they dry easily.

I’m on my feet all day & have tried so many different shoes, but these are the best. My feet aren't sore at the end of the day, I think their a little over priced. I have to see if they last all year, then they will be a great value for the price. I've worn out 2 pairs of new balance in 6 months on the job.

These shoes are great quality. The 4E is nice and wide and the high tops provide good ankle support. Our son loves them!

Great for wide feet & excellent ankle support - This is my second pair of these new balance high tops. I have a wide foot (12 4E) and these shoes are very comfortable. They also give very good ankle support.

High top sneaker - The New Balance BB888 High is the only high top sneaker that is the highest quality and comfortable sneaker that I found. Zappos shipped the sneakers the following day after Thanksgiving - best delivery I have ever had.

Basketball Referee - I am 53 years old and I tore my Achilles tendon 3 years ago. My feet are a true problem for me. I have a small wide foot and these new balance shoes fit me perfectly. I have developed heel spurs as a result of my injury. I purchased these shoes to referee basketball and I can honestly say they have been a god sent. I can actually run with very little pain. I would recommend these shoes to anyone with heel problems.

Great shoes - My husband loved the new shoes I bought from Zappos, we have a hard time finding shoes that fit good on him cause of the width but these were great and he is very happy! thanks so much Zappos!!!

NB BB888, great for everything I do in basketball. What I really like about this and all New Balance shoes, they are really comfortable and durable. These are a bargain for the price compared to other brand names. The BB888 gives me the lateral support when I catch a pickup game or 2 a week. I tend to do a lot in my workout, weights, 1 mile jog, basketball, 1 mile cycling. I will not spend $150-200 on looks for a shoe. NB gives me so much more.

Always love New Balance, these are no exception!!! My main things are that I have a wide foot in addition to heel problems, so I need hightop or close to hightop (3/4 top) sneakers. New Balance has been my favorite for years because they can serve up the extra wide sizes. There are a lot of New Balance fans, but if you're not one yet, try these. I also bought the lower top version of the same shoe and love them both! Comfort is key, look is secondary, but this one's a winner on both fronts.

Nice shoes - I bought these shoes so I could ride my motorcycle to Physical Training in the morning. I had to have some that were over the ankle and they seem to do the job real well. They fit good, of course it helps if you know the correct size to buy. Good job Zappos!

Awesome shoes - These shoes are wicked awesome. I wear a size 14 4E and had forgotten what a pair of good fitting shoes felt like. If you like high tops, don't hesitate to buy these shoes.

Very comfortable - The first pair of these I had came apart after 4 wearings, so far the second it holding up. They are very comfortable and plenty wide in 4e form they have no arch support and I had to put in a Superfeet insole, but still a very good and supportive shoe.
