Walking.
Great shoe. Very comfortable and stable.
I have owned many, many NB shoes over more than 50 years and this is one of the best.

I had originally purchased a pair of these in 14 Narrow, as I measure a 14B. They fit so small that they caused me pain. I actually had to scrap them, and I'm mortified in doing so given what they cost. So I bought a pair of 15 Narrow, and they fit, but perhaps a little too large.

I measure a 14 B, and had previously ordered these in 14 Narrow. Those were *way* too small and I had to scrap them as they are non-returnable after I had worn them. So I ordered them in a 15 B and they fit a little loosely, but at least I can wear them. Carefully consider your sizing options. I am out a considerable amount of money because the 14 Narrows fit so poorly.

The laces are *very* hard to loosen when removing them - never had this on any other footwear in my life!

Trying to replace my old 840s and bought these... Ugh. 840s way more comfortable. Hate the name Fresh Foam! Hate it! Go back to numbers!!
Still have the 840s but they're nearly 4 years old, so I just wear them to the gym or riding my bike... Can't stand wearing the 880s...

Really liked the look of the shoe and appreciate that a narrow width was available. Unfortunately, the shoe was about a half size too short especially on my left foot.

Returning this shoe due to poor and tight fit. Size is completely wrong/short by a half size. Had little to no room in toe box and toes were tight against front of shoe. Despite that, the shoe was generally uncomfortable and just did not feel akin to a great running shoe. Sorry . . . but maybe that's why this shoe is in an outlet store.

The shoes are comfortable. Thought the toe box to narrow for pinky toe. I buy men running shoes. Besides that shoes are good.

Color looks completely different from the description on the website. Electric red was more of a coral color!

I really wanted to like this shoe but it is definitely on the narrow side. I have bought new balance for years and usually go with the normal (non-wide) option and have never had a problem. However this show is definitely not wide enough. I would order again but go up to 2E or 4E

When I ordered the shoe the only selection I had for width was narrow, medium and wide so I ordered medium not really knowing what that meant. I have worn NB shoes for 20 years and always bought 14B and they fit perfect. The shoe that was sent to me was a 14D. Obviously it's a little wide and too roomy. I'm wearing the shoe but it doesn't fit as well as the previous shoes I bought.

I don't run anymore. These are comfortable for walking. If I still ran, I would choose a shoe that had more stability.

I was looking for a shoe with a little more medial support compared to my 1080 V10 but I did not notice any benefit and the upper material was a lot stiffer than the nice stretchy copper of my 1080. Also I found the standard width too wide for my narrow to standard width causing the toe box material to bunch up. The sizing was true to size compared to my other NB runners.
