I have trouble finding 4E shoes that look this good and NB absolutely delivered on these(NB, I love you for this). I haven't gotten a single blister in these and I can go on long runs with no problem. The only downside is that they're a bit heavy and it's definitely noticeable when wet. I normally wear a size 9 but went with a 9.5.

I have bad knees and need all the cushion I can get. Usually get a different model, but the price has gotten too high for my budget.
These were just the ticket. Fit well for my narrow feet and offer great cushioning.

My wife and I walk 3 miles every day. These new 880s are better than my previous as the toe space is a bit wider. Not too wide. Just right. Also the tread pattern is new and seems to be more stable.

I walk/jog three miles a day. I reviewed these sneakers to be the best in comfort and durability. They lived up to that description and look great too!

Shoe laces are too short. Runners hitch is not possible. Great shoes but re-retyped often.

Good fit and all-around support. Good "spring" and sole padding. Nice and light.

This was the first New Balance shoe I owned. I don't do any running particularly though these were still perfect for regular everyday use. The Fresh Foam X is awesome, so much squish and comfort. This is the best running shoe I have worn! I have tried the 1080v12 after this, and Arishi v4. Out of the NB shoes and past brands, this is the pinnacle of comfort, performance, and ease of use. I believe the shoe earns 5 stars

I have worn New Balance for years, and loved the 1080. Until the latest version (not the shoe, my feet are difficult to fit) and decided to try the 880. And this wears better than any NB in my past. So much so, I just ordered another pair in a different colorway.

My new go to shoe.Used to be 1080 fan, but after v9, I couldn't find a suitable replacement. This one does the trick! Feel like wearing it everyday. Esp w Achilles tendinitis and off/on metatarsalgia

I have had several pairs of this type of running shoe, I run 6 to 7 miles 5 days a week on gravel roads and each pair has held up very well, I like the cushion the shoe and the comfort they provide.

Great pair of shoes. The foam makes it feel like you have extra spring in your step. Wish they came in a couple more color styles though. Maybe next version will have more.

As with typical new balances, I'm usually a solid 11.5, and these are very snug. Made me want to return and get a 12, but as I've done in the past with NB's, the 12 feels pretty big. Since these are strictly running shoes, I'm sticking with the 11.5 snug fit and hoping they loosen up overtime, which I'm sure they will. As for the shoes overall, these are the best running shoes I've worn, very supportive and great cushion without lacking sturdiness. Used to run with Brooks, but these have totally changed my mind and I'm definitely a NB runner going forward. Highly suggest trying these out.

These shoes were made for walkin' and that's just what they do. One day when these wear out, I'll buy another pair or two.

Great for outdoor running and indoor training; fit and feel are excellent. One piece of advice: go to a NB store if possible to see which shoe style is best for you--it led me to this pair and style.

It might be the most comfy shoes I ever owned. I works in health care and stand up all day at work. And the shoes really help with the fatigue.

After getting my first pair of 880's I had to purchase a second and third pair. They offered me very good support and comfort.

Been a weightlifter/runner for over a decade and this is the only pair of shoes I will buy. The fit is perfect for my size 13 2E feet. I buy 1 or 2 pairs a year and they last for hundreds of kilometers of running and walking.

All of my work outs are indoors on my treadmill. Can't run due to hip replacement and pretty pick about shoes. This pair replaces my previous NB shoes. My favorite feature of these shoes is the amount of cushioning and springiness in the sole of the shoe. Seems to be very low impact and very easy on my hip and back

This shoe has the best cushion I have ever experienced. I am a long time NB customer and this is my first 880v12 purchase. I will be ordering more.

I ordered these shoes in black, and they look good enough to wear casually on a plane or for travelling, but also work well as running shoes.

I normally wear a 4E shoe. The widest this shoe comes is a 2E (Wide). It's a bit snug, but I can wear it without a problem. The cushioning is really outstanding and the overall quality is high. It seems a bit large, but I would say it's more true to size that runs large. It's a good looking shoe and I've had compliments.

I use this shoe for running and lifting weights at the gym. I find them very stable and comfortable. I started buying NB's years ago because they are made here in the USA but have learned over the years that they last a long time and are supremely comfy.
