Fresh Foam X 880v15 I’ve been wearing these sneakers for almost 10 months now, and they still look brand new. I fell in love with them from the very first try. They look amazing too, neat, stylish, and beautiful. But what really makes them my favorite is the comfort. They’re incredibly soft, and I genuinely want to wear them all day long. My feet never get tired, and every step feels light and comfortable. Honestly, they’re the perfect combination of comfort and style.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great shoe honestly, you can compare it to the 1080 in a way, not as squishy but rather on the firmer side. Used it on a couple runs, daily/casual, and also to the gym and they were great for all these activities in sure they’d be great for others. I’d recommend to anyone out there and even though they’re a bit firm they are still very comfortable and breathable.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Finished my first few workouts in these and couldn’t be happier. At first, they were a bit taller than anything I’ve had in the past so was unsure. After a couple runs, I got used to that and I can’t believe the comfort. They may be the most comfortable shoes I’ve worn, and they’re breathable enough for my liking too. They’ll definitely be my new regular runners, and I think I’ll be reaching for them more than any of the others. Fits true to size!
Purchased these New Balance 880v15’s to replace a worn out pair of New Balance 860’s. I’m so disappointed with these new shoes and I’m getting blisters on both heels. I’ve even tried double socking it but no luck. I’ve had to order another pair of 860’s to replace the new 880’s. No I don’t recommend them and I now see that others are complaining about the same issues.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loved the comfort of these shoes! I went for a casual 5k through Central Park and surprising felt comfortable the whole way with good stability and comfort. I then used them at the gym for some lifting and they were way better than my regular gym shoes at absorbing the extra weight. Overall really happy with how they perform as an all around running and training shoe!
I've tried multiple brands of sneakers to work long hours between two jobs everyday, and this is the best brand of sneakers I've had, I wear 13 Extra Wide and my feet don't hurt anymore after work. Highly recommend this product.
Love my New Balances. The toe box is spacious, the sole is supportive, and cushions my steps well. I bought these shoes specifically for work since I’m a medical professional and I’m on my feet for 10+ hours a day.
This is my 4th generation of 880's, and 6th pair overall. I wear them as my daily active recovery/walking shoe. They seem to run a tad small and narrow in the toe box for me, as far as the v14 and now the v15 goes anyways. The v12 and v13' fit me more t2s. Of course I wish they were true to size for me, but i went 1 full size and went wide. NB did take advice and lengthened the shoe laces, so that is a win, as well. The 880 v14 laces were so short I had to replace them. All in all I feel there are a mild but noticable improvements over the 880v14s. Styling is very similar. The comfort once I have size dialed in is what always keeps me coming back to the 880's. They are cushioned but supportive. I will continue to buy them.
This shoes is very comfortable and surprisingly lightweight. I expected to be heavier based on the description, but it feels great to wear all day. The grip is excellent, making them perfect for work and daily use. The quality and comfort exceeded my expectations, and I’m very satisfied with this purchase overall.
This shoe’s my go-to for everyday runs—no fuss, just reliable stability. The midsole is surprisingly springy but still keeps your foot locked down tight. No wobbling, no slipping. And that mesh upper? Hugs your heel and midfoot like a glove. But here’s the thing: the outsole’s kinda rough. The rubber’s thin in spots, and I’ve already seen it wearing down faster than I’d like. If you’re logging serious miles, this might not last you years. Also, the color options? Super basic. If you want something flashy, you’ll be disappointed. Bottom line: If you need a sturdy, stable shoe for daily miles and don’t mind replacing it sooner than usual, grab these. Just don’t expect it to last forever.
