Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam X 880 v15

My son has worn New Balance 880s for as long as I can remember. He has wide feet but the M width is perfect. He tried wearing Brooks for HS track this year, and they were too rigid in the heel counter and not enough room in the instep. So he went back to New Balance and he is more comfortable now. I do add an arch support in them because his feet over-pronate. But otherwise they fit his growing feet very well. Wish there were more colors for men!

Pleasantly surprised with the comfort level and support. Great colors, as always. This 880 evolution is awesome!

Seemingly a nice shoe, but just wasn't very comfortable. I think there are seams and edges inside that don't feel smooth.

Excellent fit for wide feet - good cushioning & support

The shoe fits fine and is comfortable. I have bought this model before, and it is reliable, and the service from Zappos was excellent as always

I have the exact same size and model of shoe from 1-2 years ago that fit just fine. This new pair is too tight, and the larger/higher souls are not good for standing for any length of time. I have to return them.

Love the color of the sneakers. My husband is a fan of the fresh foam fit.

Felt smaller and more uncomfortable than the Brooks.

The stack height on the 880’s keeps getting taller and taller. I’d like to see the 880’s go back to being an 880 instead of being a 1080 wannabe.

The shoe was to tight

I don't know how this shoe has so many positive reviews - up until I bought these shoes, I was a "New Balance for life" person, as I have been wearing New Balance shoes for many years now and love them. But these shoes are incredibly uncomfortable, there is a hard plastic "cap" over the toebox of the shoe, similar to steel toe shoes, and it presses down on your big toe/ nail every time you take a step. I couldn't walk more than 100 feet without pain, much less run in these. So disappointed - the generic pair of shoes I bought from Walmart for $20 to do yard work are more comfortable than these! They do look good, but that's the only positive about them.
