Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam X 880 v15

After wearing H'a's for so long, I thought it time for a change. Enter New Balance 880. This was a perfect pick for me! Size 8 1/2 Wide is true to size. My orthotics are pretty high and wide so these New Balance are the perfect fit for me. I'm ordering another pair in black! Thanks, Zappos for selling a very fine foot!

I ordered these because I need a narrow width. I generally wear size 8.5 in athletic shoes and the 8.5 narrow fits perfectly. My foot doesn't swim around in the shoe, but I still have plenty of toe room. They have good arch support. The style is okay - I wanted white, but would prefer a pop of color somewhere. The narrow width only comes in black and white. They also make my feet look big, but I'll sacrifice style for a good fit.

I just about live in V12 of this shoe - bought several pairs but can no longer find. The great thing about this version is that the D width provided plenty of width and depth to make the shoe comfortble. With having had surgery on both feet, and a metal plate on one, the space made them perfect - along with the cushioning that helped avoid some previous plantar fasciitis issues. With at least the V14 and later, NB decided to make an attached tongue - which added pressure to the foot. Also with the V15 it has less depth (height) for the top of the foot making it even more uncomfortable. I did find a V14 pair but the colors are ones that I'd care for. I tried the "grey" and they should have called it "white". It would look filthy after a couple of wears - so now I'm looking for a different shoe.

These shoes are the most comfortable shoe I have even owned! Our 25 year old daughter wants a pair for her birthday!

I purchased these because they were recommended for hallux limitus (great toe arthritis). After years of running, I developed bone spurs on top of my foot where the great toe meets. I was diagnosed with hallux limitus which led to pain with toe bending. These are the first pair of tennis shoes I can wear without my orthotic inserts for my great toe pain. You sit back in the heels a bit with these shoes (I love this feeling!) The shoe has a rocker like motion when walking forward which limits the great toe movement. I have FULL comfort ALL day with no toe pain. I HIGHLY recommend these if you have my problem, but also highly recommend them as just a great, neutral, supportive shoe. They look good on also, and provide excellent cushioning without the huge look. Love them.

I've always had NB 880. I was thrown off a bit by the look of the side being thicker, but it's not the case. Those new fancy shoes with 3 inches of cushion are not for me. These, are normal they pink on the side just makes it look super thick. These do have cushion, and I walk often in these. So glad I could find the 880's. I need a wide toe box and these fit the bill. Thanks Zappos and NB!

I needed a half size larger, although that wasn't available, so I ordered a full size larger. It seems to be fine with a full size larger. I also definitely needed the double extra wide shoes.

I wear a size 9 in a regular shoe and bought a 9.5 in this sneaker. It fits well. I love the color combo on this shoe. It's very bouncy. I can't say it has arch support really but it is not uncomfortable.

A spongy feeling, like walking on a cloud. I wish it had more support on the sides, as I have a problem with pronation. I cannot comment on the wear of the sole of the shoe, since it's new. I hope it holds up under the wear and tear of power-walking. The shoe sits firmly on the ground, and my footing feels secure. I usually wear the New Balance 990v5, which are the best, and they're built strong, but they don't come in the color white.

I ordered the same item I have purchased within the year. It was too short. I wear a narrow. A half size larger was not available. I'm VERY disappointed. With a narrow size I get no choice of color. And when white is not available I must need new feet.

These are super comfy. The sole is a little "klunky" but the comfort makes it worth it. My only complaint is the color of the laces ran into the shoes on a rainy day....makes them look dirty. Disappointed at this price that shouldn't happen

They fit, but not sure on the bulkiness of the sole. I know everyone is going to HOKA like soles, but they are not for me. Wish shoe companies would just stick to the every day shoe that people like instead of every year putting some new changes to them.

Love em! They are soo good for my feet and legs! I appreciate their fit too! Long days on my feet and I am really so comfy! They look good and feel great

Perfect fit! My feet are soo happy! Got fitted at Fleet Feet but the didn’t have the NB880v15 in the color I wanted. Came home ordered from Xappis and voila- love them!

It’s been years since I wore NB. These feel great and have nice cushioning.

I have Halllux Rigidus and bone spurs. These are the cutest sneakers I have found. I love them so much I immediately purchased an additional pair to have on hand.

Love these shoes! I had them in black, and wanted to order something colorful. I LOVE the Washed Burgundy/Pink Taffy! These shoes offer so much support and cushioning; it's like walking on a cloud. I only wear New Balance, and these 880 are fantastic - and so cute!

The cushioning in this shoe with the Fresh Foam makes the shoe very comfortable.

LOVE these. I have wide feet and ordered a 9D and they're perfect. Super comfortable right out of the box. They don't rub anywhere or need to be broken in. Took off 2 stars for style because I really dislike the ginormous soles, BUT that's all they're making now so I have to conform until the styles change again. Thanks Zappos!

I love these shoes! Like walking on a cloud. I sometimes. wear size 9 and sometimes 9.5. I ordered the 9 initially and had to exchange.

Half size small

The shoe was fine, I liked the style but it was to narrow.

I have ordered these shoes in black for several years. A couple of months ago, I ordered it in pink, but I sent them back because I thought they made my feet look too big. So, I ordered them again in black. I just wish they had a bit of color somewhere on the shoe, but it is not a deal breaker for me because these shoes are so comfortable. They have a large toe box that I need, but around the heel is not big which I definitely need for my narrow heels. I do hope New Balance continues making this shoe because they fit my feet so well.
