Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam X 880v12

These are my everyday shoes. I wear a narrow shoe so there's slim pickens. Not as cushy as I'd like but will do. Fit is like my old 880's. So that is good.

Same good NB product but materials appear stiffer than previous model. Nice denim like color.

My podiatrist recommended these sneakers along with orthotics to help my foot/ankle issues. I ordered my usual 8.5W and they were too small. My toes were hitting right up at the end of the shoe. Otherwise they felt comfortable. I returned them for a 9W and they still feel a bit small, but I am hoping I can get used to it.

Jog about 3 miles/ day. Was told by salesman in store that shoe style had changed & runs small. He tried to sell me 71/2 when my normal size is 61/2. Did not have 7. So I ordered online & after wearing for 2 weeks feel slightly large

Kinda tight

Unfortunately, the color I wanted (eclipse with vibrant apricot and vibrant pink) didn't come in a wide option. I'm pushing it by wearing the standard fit, but it's serving the purpose. As always, I order a half size larger than my usual shoe size, which is the case for all NB shoes for me. But the 880s are better in a wide on my foot. I'll muddle through for now. The laces they popped on these shoes, though, are WAY too short! Can barely tie them, and they come untied during my workouts due to the trouble. I tried reaching out to CS for help, but had no luck via phone, through the online chat (which is perpetually "offline" for me, it seems), or even through my attempt to reach out on Twitter. Finally ordered some longer laces elsewhere, and I hope the color works. Love the look of this shoe, and hope it will last well enough through the next 6 - 8 months until I'll inevitably order the v13 that will likely be out by then.

I usually wear wide but got the extra wide because the reviews said they ran small. Going up in width was perfect and they fit great. However the laces were way too short. I couldn't even get them tied in a single knot. Someone definitely needs to check lace length on wider shoes. I ended up ordering longer laces online from somewhere else because I liked the shoes so much.

I am training for an upcoming race. I have a narrow foot and was excited to read the reviews for this because a lot of people are complaining it is too narrow. I just find it to be a little tight on the instep. Otherwise a good shoe.

Caused very sore ball of feet so had to return. Heel comfort was great.

I bought a pair of these same sneakers in a different color and they were comfortable right from the start. So when there was a sale, I decided to buy another pair. Unfortunately, the second pair (black) didn't fit as well. The toe box wasn't as roomy as the first pair. Disappointingly, I chose to return them because they just weren't comfortable.

The bought the wrong size some how.

Have bunions & foot pain from fractures & arthritis. These shoes have been a lifesaver. I am concerned that version 13 does not seem to be available in extra wide. If so, will be my last purchase.

I think the sneakers are pretty comfortable, however, I don't think there is enough arch support. And the laces are very short

Have been wearing NB both in personal life & nursing career. On advice of my Pedorthist, was looking for a NB model with more shock absorption at forefoot & 880v12 was recommended. Received very quickly, however needed to return as both too short for size & too narrow to accommodate orthotics (despite ordering wide). Sadly, the 880 is not offered in x-wide. (BTW I did order a corresponding size in men's wide & still too narrow).

I bought these shoes to wear for everyday use and walking. I already had a pair of 880v11. I have a bunion on my right foot. The 11 is more comfortable than the 12. The toe box on the 12 is tighter. Also the laces on the 12 are much shorter than the laces on the 11. After loosening the laces to allow more space for the bunion there's barely enough lace left to tie the shoe.

My Fresh Foam X880v12 arrived on time and happy with delivery and fit of the shoes. However the shoelaces that came with this shoe are too short and too cheap quality! Please send me a better pair of shoelaces that will compliment the beautiful shoes!
