I like the bounciness of the shoes, but if I lace them through the top holes, they rub on my ankle bones and are uncomfortable. They are less comfortable than some of my other walking shoes. Unlikely I'll buy another pair unless they become much more comfortable for long walks (4-5 miles) after breaking them in.

I bought a pair last spring and bought another pair since they were on sale. Comfortable for walking or running on the treadmill.

Beware - the shoestrings are WAY TOO SHORT, can barely get them tied. Will have to buy another pair of longer ones, which is a shame for a brand new pair of shoes.

Very lightweight, cushy. Great for high arches. They run a bit small. I'm usually 7.5-8, so I went with 8 and should have done 8.5 because my toes hit the end when I run. Short laces.

These shoes run small in the toe box so I had to order a size up. They are a pretty color and very comfortable. I am not a runner but love to walk and these shoes give nice support.

I usually wear a 8N in New Balance shoes but my toe hit the front in these. Need to reorder a half size bigger and try again.

I work in the medical field and have had many versions of this shoe: I won't wear anything else. I've tried Vessi, Adidas, Nike and Puma and there's no better fit/feel than New Balance. They keep my feet cool when I'm gowned up in all that PPE and size is exactly as expected. My only constructive criticism of this shoe is that wonderful cushy feel at the heel goes away within weeks of wearing them. I feel for the quality/price of this shoe it should last longer.

I need a custom orthotic in my shoes. There is room for the orthotic, and with it, the support is great. I use this shoe for my daily walk. For some reason, this one has "short" shoe strings - I can barely tie them. Other than that, an overall great shoe.

The shoe was too small and I'm not sure why the sizes jump from 12 to 13 and there are no half sizes available. Loved the color though!

This is the 3rd pair of 880s I have purchased. I have Hallus Limitus, which is a type of arthritis in my big toe joints and these shoes are the only ones I have been able to work out in without pain. They are awesome for aerobics, weight training, and walking (I am not a jogger, so cannot speak to that). The reason this shoe did not get a 10: They SQUEAK! My prior pairs did not do that, but these are very squeaky...a bit embarrassing!

I wish this pair of shoes would have worked for me. Even though I ordered the wide version, they seemed tight. Unfortunately, I experienced pain in the balls of my feet and had to return the shoes.

The shoe is a perfect fit. Does lack some arch support compared to older styles. However the sho laces are too short, which is frustrating, because I spent enough money on the shoes

Use them for work as I walk around a lot. They do provide a great deal of comfort.

I only wear my shoes in the gym doing HIIT workouts. One negative about this shoe is the length of the laces which are very short so hard to tie.

I find these shoes very comfortable and I'm on to my second pair. Unfortunately both pairs I have owned, ended up with a hole just over where my big toe is. And the hole came within just a few months of wearing them. #averagefeet#holenonetheless

These shoes are very comfortable and have good support. This is my second pair of Fresh Foam X880. One problem I am having is that the shoe laces are too short and won't stay tied. Other than that, they are great.

While it may seem like a pretty boring Christmas gift these sneakers are what my wife asked for. They come in her size which is hard to find and they have plenty of cushioning and support.
