Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam X 880v12

The New Balance Fresh Foam X880v12 shoes were a disappointment. I normally wear 11 1/2 Med comfortably, and could hardly get my feet into the 1st shipment. I exchanged for a size 12 Med and they were still too narrow and tight. I walked around considerably in my house to see if they would feel any better, and they did not. Both the 11 1/2 and 12 shoes were to small and too tight. The basic shoe construction, in my opinion was inferior to other products I have purchased. The material was basically a cheap plastic weave material and would not "give" or expand at all while wearing. My feet and toes felt "crushed" wearing these New Balance shoes. Sorry, but this product is way overrated. I used to this New Balance made a nice shoe, boy was I surprised. I returned both pair and asked for a refund.

I'm 63 years old, have orthotics, been wearing NB shoes for as long as I can remember, except in recent years, NB shoes have been a big disappointment, the fit has not been the same, don't know what it is, sorry I took a chance in ordering up a pair of 880v12's, For a decade I wore this one particular NB shoe and then for whatever they discontinued the model, have not been able to find suitable replacement, will continue to wear other shoes from other manufacturers,

Too narrow, even in a 4E - returned!

These run way small. Sadly, I've worn them so I can't return them. I'm out $135 because I have to scrap them. Totally unwearable in the designated size.

I bought these shoes believing that they were going to be the best but it was a disappointment I believed in reviews and nothing I saw regarding the 880 v12 was true, they are beautiful and made of good material I ordered medium but they are very tight, they are very narrow, the room of the toes is uncomfortable, very closed, that is why I always buy new balance 8.5 just right, they are very tight even if you buy a number and a half more or wide, they are too closed and they are not padded at all or balanced, no cushioning, they are spectacularly rigid, I put them on at home to walk and it gave me a cramp in my little toe and pain in the bottom, another thing I bought a topo ultrafly 3 and they have good space in the feet are designed for the human foot, they are wonderful I ran with them 3.2 miles and it's like flying, really; but the 880 v12>> are not at all padded instead for these I will opt for a topo ultraventure 2; but thanks to God and zappos that is very cool with me it solved my problem!

I normally order the 880 line, I see they changed them again but this time they are not as comfortable and feel cheap. Normally they fit true to size but these came wider then normal. I wouldn’t recommend these until they redesign them again and hopefully they fix them.
