Every time I wore them around the house, my feet and calves were achey. Not sure why but not the fit for me.

It looks like v14 has a complete redesign of the sole and heel. Earlier versions of 880 kept me feet from overpronating and prevent injury. These seem to do the opposite! I was in pain after one short moderate walk and then compared the heel/back profile side by side with my v12 and v13 NB880s. It's totally different! These also didn't feel like they have the signature FreshFoam "bounce" that provides a comfortable ride.

This was the first New Balance I was totally unimpressed with. Fresh Foam is definitely NOT for a narrow, flat footed person.

I wear a size 10 2E width. It is really hard for me to find a comfortable shoe with my wide foot and high instep. These are my third of pair of New Balance 880’s. They are completely comfortable right out of the box…..no need to break them in. They have a very roomy toe box. I’ll be buying more.

I have very wide feet so I always order the 880’s by New Balance. This is my second pair in this same version and color. I am always running around outside and I wear these almost every day. I walk several miles a week in them and have never noticed any issues with them fitting perfectly out of the box. No break in period needed as shoes should never need a break in period.

Like these much better than the more expensive NB I bought elsewhere. I was going to buy another pair but alas! No more available in my size.

I have been buying this running shoe for years and am never disappointed. The 880 has great cushioning and just feels like my feet are well-supported. I also love that New Balance offers different widths, which isn't usually the case with women's shoes. The green color is a nice change from my usual shoe colors. It's more of a celery green rather than mint.

After New Balance stopped making women's narrows in the 990, 992, and 993, the 880v14 is about the best available. They last a while and fit better in the toe bed, but don't have as much support as the 992 or 993.

I purchased the New Balance Fresh Foam X880v14 first in a 10 1/2 Extra wide. My feet are not particularly wide, but I need a wide toe spread at the front of the shoe. It has been my favorite walking shoe. Because my arch had been dropping over the past year, I thought I would buy a size 11 extra wide just in case. It turns out I did not need the size 11 after all so I will be returning it and highly recommending this shoe to anyone who needs it. The color I ordered is the Grey Color, and it has some really cool detailing on it which I have enjoyed with different outfits. I have been a Zappos customer for many years, and no shoe company has better customer service.

Fit and size are perfect. This is a great NB model and I now own two pairs. if you have very wide feet, the 2E will fit well and feel good. I wear one pair for long distance (10 miles +) running and one pair with jeans.

Great shoe. Lots of support and cushioning. Very lightweight. For me, the ankle portion came up too high. It rubbed on my ankle bone, and I knew that wouldn't break in. It was with regret that I had to return this otherwise perfect shoe.

So light, but so supportive. The soles are thick enough to protect when walking. My foot is kept straight. My high arch is supported. The heal does not slide and remains supportive. My knees and back feel so much better and I have energy to do what I need to do again. If my size 11 is available will purchase another pair. Thank you to the creator of this shoe.

Just what I was looking for in a walking shoe. The fit is good and I like the level of cushion. I am happy with this purchase.
