What A Great Shoe

What a shoe, I've used the 880s for a while and this version is the best to date. The trauma to my toes from racking up miles has decreased significantly and I couldn't be happier. Thanks

Comfortable But Fast Wearing

I bought the 880 v14 in a size 14. They are comfortable for my runs of 3-6 miles. After about a month of maybe 50 miles on the shoes, the heel tread is severely worn and starting to peel. I alternate these with other shoes and these have just not held up. Its not practical to replace running shoes that quickly, these need to be made more durable.

A Step Down From V14

Looks and feels like a lot more foam at the bottom. Makes them look a little goofy. Also, a little tight in the toe box. I had to go up half a size. I usually wear 11 2E, but in these I had to get 11.5 2E for a comfortable fit. I prefer the v14. Hopefully, New Balance will fix this with the v16.

Not A Fan Of The New 880's

I do like several of the new colors - okay, there, I was positive about something. Beyond that, there's little for me to like about this latest version. The quality seems okay but the overall design simply doesn't work for me. The midsole is now aesthetically huge and not broken up by different color schemes. Not only does the sole sit noticeably higher than other versions, it also has a pronounced curve that provides the feeling that your toes are going to go crashing through the toebox on push-off and also makes it hard for me to stand motionless. My foot does stay securely in the shoe but it's that perception that ultimately had me say "no" to this version. The only time I come close to landing on my heel and rocking forward would be on steep declines and that seems like what this shoe must be designed for, or, at least for someone who does more walking than actual running. Oh, they also seem to be narrower through the ball of the foot into the arch. Fortunately, I have 3 pairs of older versions that are still serviceable, but at some point I'll need replacements that work for flat feet and a neutral gait and these won't be it.

Game Changer For Me

Great for high arches and orthotics inserts, feels like I’m walking on springs
