Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam X 880 v15

Just tried them on and the shoe feels great.There are definitely some downgrades in detail styling from my previous pair. We’ll see how this pair does on the road.

I have very wide feet and usually wear Brooks. These New Balance were too narrow in the toe box for my bunion so they have to go back

I believe the style before these offered more room in the toolbox which is disappointing because it’s hard to find since they went away from that with the 1080 also. I don’t have a wide foot at all but I just need a little bit of space up there to prevent some of the foot issues that I deal with. I actually went up half a size this year hoping it would help, and it does, but it’s still not the same as last year! I do however feel like the cushioning is a little better inside these versus last year.

Wide enough and comfortable..

Unfortunately, this shoe was felt narrow and small on my foot, particularly in the toe box. I have small, narrow feet (W5.5) and usually buy athletic shoes a half-size up to allow for movement, sports sock, and often an orthotic insole. Unfortunately, even without swapping out the insole and wearing thin socks, the shoe was tight and my toes came to the end of the size 6 shoe and I didn't love the overall construction of the shoe to try another half-size up.

Liked the style and the look but these sneakers are “rockers” not flat so if you like the feeling of rocking then this is the perfect sneaker for you. The fit was true to size and it was cushioned enough. Very comfortable.

I have multiple pairs of New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080 V12 that I have worn so much they need to be replaced. Because I loved them so much I ordered a Fresh Foam X 880 v 15 to replace them. But they must have changed the shoe last. Regretfully the toe box is shallow and the big toe rubs on the top of the shoe. I tried a 10 1/2 (my size in my prior Fresh Foam New Balance) and even the size 11. But regretfully each of them rubbed in all the wrong places. I had to switch over to HOKAs to find a comfortable well padded supportive tennis shoe.

I have always worn New Balance. My last 2 were Fresh Foams. I need a new pair and have ordered 4. One of the things that sold me on NB was the generous toe box. It no longer seems to exist. All of these new pairs that I ordered were quiet narrow and all have been returned. I even tried a wide width but it was way too wide. So I guess my search for a new pair will move to another brand.

Even the extra wide was not comfortable and it was necessary to return these shoes.

I have the 880 v14, which is the most comfortable running shoe I own. Although v 15 seemed to fit in length and width, they were uncomfortable for me under my toes. It felt like there was a ridge in the footbed that did not hit my feet in the right place.

I used to love New Balance, but these were squeezing my wide foot too much! Not in the toe box, but in the middle of my foot. They are going back.

Pretty much the same as V14. Very cushy. I have a very narrow foot and high arch. The 2A is wider than Brooks. There is very little arch support and I found my ankle rotating inward.

It was the right size, but I found them uncomfortable. The bottom of the shoe felt like a big lump in the middle.

Liked the shoe, but the toe box felt wider than normal so I decided to return them.

The fit dies not feel right. And the color is not the same on the picture.

I bought this shoe because it looked comfortable, which it was. However, the rocker style sole is a fall-hazard.

Did not fit

I purchased the same shoe a year ago these shoes are not the same!

This sole is too big and bouncy. Not for me.

They were all off. Ordered xwide. Could get foot in so sent back night larger size I could get them on but I felt unstable.

I have a pair of 880’s that are a few years old. I ordered these as a replacement. They are not the same. This pair has a giant looking heel and the front has an uncomfortable roll over step. The fit was ok. More narrow than my current pair but the material has a lot of give. I tried them with my orthotics also. Just felt a bit too small. The sole is so large they look like orthotic shoes. Disappointed. I am returning them.

I’ve worn NB880s for years. The shoes has changed. It’s seems less supportive and was uncomfortable as soon as I put it on. It’s not a matter of fit. So very disappointing,
