I love my new balances. Before I switched to new ballance my shoes weren't lasting 3 months, now they last over a year, I'm more comfortable, and they have awesome ankle support.

I'm on a walking team that walks in 30-mile breast cancer charity walks. The Fresh Foam X 880v12 shoes are the most comfortable shoes I've ever used for these walks.

Shopped around. Switched from Ghost 14 8.5 wide. Loving these New Balance 880v12 shoes. Minimal to no break in period. True to size. Comfortable. Stylish. Highly recommend.

Love these! I did order a 1/2 up which I usually never do, but decided after I read some reviews saying they ran small. I have planters fasciitis and these are very comfortable and definitely have been helping with my condition.

I workout six days a week and I'm hard on my sneakers. I'm a loyal New Balance owner. But these new ones are the BEST! They're light. They breathe. and I love the dash of lilac! Bravo

Picked up these shoes in the gorgeous pink and get lots of compliments. So comfy and definitely size up as they run small. Want to pick them up in the Eclipse with vibrant apricot and pink but they are currently sold out. Keeping my eye out!

Love the colour and stylinoeg, comfortable too!
Appreciate having stylish options in wide. I typically wear 7 1/2W but 8W fit better in this style.

Exchange with other New Balance tennis shoes to keep all in good condition and fresh. Love the arch support.

My new sneakers are great. I can wear them longer than any other ones I have tried in a day without discomfort. They fit well except for a little too much padding around the back and side of the ankle- nothing crazy- just a bit snugger than I'd like. My ankles are a little odd, so it's probably just me.

These are my first new runners since NB's move from their REVlite midsole material over to the newer Fresh Foam. And this is definitely a move in a great direction.
I'm male and have fairly narrow feet, and always shop NB's women's sizes for the B widths. Having a narrow, not-super-strong foot, and a little extra pronation, I'm always after a shoe that has a pretty exact fit for my foot shape and a bit of support; I had been concerned that the material as it was described would be squishy and too unstable for me.
I was finally pushed to try the 880v12s when I needed something with more impact absorption to keep running - a work-related foot agitation had me wondering if I could run at all.
These shoes are so nice to your feet! They are moderately supportive and very cushy at the same time, yet pretty lightweight. The uppers are totally comfortable for me - no tight spots or any problems at toe box, laces or around the tongue. Good breathability. The underfoot feeling overall seems to make the most sense if I'm running with a "mid-foot" strike, but there's plenty of material on the heel as well if it comes down first.
For now I'm rebuilding endurance with these on the treadmill, but expect that they'll be very good on the pavement as well.
For reference, other NB shoes that have worked well for me: 1400v6, Summit Unknown, Summit Q.O.M./K.O.M.

As a daily fitness walker, these are a no brainer to order on line. Once I was professionally fitted at a New Balance store, I've never looked back. Hopefully some better color choices in the near future

I'm a casual runner, putting on 400 or so miles a year, and have been very pleased with the 880 shoe for quite a few years now. Lately I really like the bright colors offered in this model.

The cushioning is superb along with strong fabric support near the arch where I pronate. I move all day long and have knee arthritis and at 63 so I need only the best footwear! I wear a D width to fit my orthotics and it has a generous toe box.

I wear this model of shoe all day every day. I rotate between pairs, switching every other day. With my most recent order, the first pair felt like something was in the show under my right, big toe. Or maybe in production the shoe wasn't made to the actual size it was marked. For example, I ordered wide, and it may have been a normal width shoe. Either way, I returned the pair for a refund and immediately ordered another pair. The second pair arrived as quickly as the first, but this pair was perfect. Fit is great, look is great, comfort is great, design is great. And I have since received the refund for the first pair. I'm a happy customer.

The 880 series has always been my favorite and these v12s follow suit. They work so well for my feet. I've tried other brands and styles and they just don't come close to NB and the 880 series. I will buy these time and time again. I just bought a second pair so I can rotate them. I highly recommend these!
