Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam X 880v14

Had a previous generation of these that worked well. These seem similar, just a bit more cushion than prior version, still unsure if I like that or not. Seemed like the shoes I received had been worn before, not too happy about that, but not to a point that I'm going to return.

Zappos is my go to for size 15 shoes. This pair of Fresh Foam is very comfortable, wish there were more color options

was too tight, and too short, shoes to appear to have been worn

These are stiffer than I thought. The insole is very thin and does not offer much cushioning. You’d think with the amount of foam they have that they would have more cushion. Definitely a disappointment.

After falling three times with this shoe, there won't be a fourth. Nice shoe but little support for an older person.

Ankle dip not noticeable (but perhaps just on the edge of cutting into my ankles). Barely has arch support at all, but it’s not too bad. Footbed is a little stiff, but still has some noticeable cushioning. Width extra-wide 4E is just barely wide enough around toes! Heel has good springiness, and foot has good roll. Ultimately, it's just not comfortable enough to keep due to not enough arch support and not enough footbed cushioning.

5 Stars for aesthetics. The problem I had with both the 14 and 13 is the midfoot/arch area of the sole is too narrow. My inner arch hangs over the edge of the inner sole because it's just too narrow. This causes pain. I don't have wide or flat feet. This is a problem I've had with other brands recently, so it must be another crazed trend to make that area as narrow as possible for unknown reasons. The actual bottom platform of the 14 shoe is wider than the 13 but it tapers up and is still too narrow in the arch area for me.

This pair of shoes was shaped better on the inside side and was stiff enough that it could hold my orthotics up to support my very high arches. Overall, I did appreciate the cushioning that these shoes provide. However, there is something hard in the center of the ball of the foot cushioning that hurts my foot. Also, I really need 6E width shoes in most styles and this is one of them. My little toes became painful after wearing them after awhile. Please consider offering your Fresh Foam styles in 6E width for those of us with very wide feet and bunions. The wider light colored sole also made my feet look wider than they are.

Cheap and insubstantial.

I've worn several 880's. All were very comfortable. Unfortunately this v14 is not comfortable. It's tight across the toes even though it's supposed to be a 4E extra wide size. The materials also seem stiff which probably contributes to the tight feel.

Not used to a high heel/used to 0mm drop shoes.

Inferior to 800v10 bought in 2022: less support, shorter lacing pattern along top (4 pairs of eyelets instead of 5) interferes with a good fit for narrow feet , although lighter weight ... feels cheep!

Quality control on these shoes is miserable, or perhaps the initial design and material selection is poor. In either event, I've had two pairs of these shoes and have work holes in the back ankle area both times - within just a few weeks of wear. I'm not even logging big miles on these, I run 1/2 times per week and use them during strength training 4x a week. Really poor considering my limited use as a running shoe.

I have a high arch and wide toe bed and the size 8 medium did not fit me. I typically wear a size women's 9.5W.

I wear a size women's 9.5 Wide, which translates into a men's size 8 Medium. Well, this shoe didn't fit me at all. The toe bed is quite narrow and shallow and these shoes were squeezing both the sides and top of my feet. While this shoe looks very handsome, its not for someone with wide feet or a high arches. I had to return these, I wanted this style because the women's version of this shoe was virtually colorless and men's sneakers usually fit me better, especially New Balance.

Shoe started to fall apart after a few weeks. after about 5 months it is in tatters - disappointing quality for a $100 shoe from new balance.

Never tried these used shoes on. Dirt on soles, and bonus, a hair.

Did not even try on!
