These shoes are some of the best that I have had the pleasure of wearing in a while. I wanted to wait to see how they held up for many different uses in my life. I am training for a 5k that is coming up this weekend, and they have been so nice to wear; they are light enough that I don't feel the extra weight but also sturdy enough to support my very flat feet. Secondly, I am a healthcare worker and am on my feet for 12-hour shifts on top of nursing school clinical hours. They were super comfortable and durable for these shifts, and I have decided to buy a pair to dedicate specifically as my work shoes. To finalize their use, I have run errands in them as well, from grocery store runs to doctors' appointments, and again they have been super comfortable, and they look ...

I am very picky about sneakers. I have tried too many to count are have only found one pair that doesn't destroy my feet. I was excited to try these Fresh Foam x 880v13s out because they mentioned having a lot of cushion. I normally have to wear special insoles because I can never find sneakers with enough cushion to support my feet. I decided to put these to the ultimate test: running around Disneyland for an entire day. I was nervous they might destroy my feet after walking in them for 15 hours, but was willing to give it a shot for shoe testing sake. First, I was very surprised at the amount of cushion in the shoes. I didn't even try to put my insoles in them because I wanted to test the cushion out by itself.

As soon as I started walking around in them I knew they were going to be different. The foam really supports my feet. A lot of memory type foams are too hard for me or don't provide enough support, but I felt like these were perfect. I didn't have a single problem with these shoes all day. I normally end up with several bandaids on each foot and toe, but I ran around in these with zero problems. No heel pain, no plantar fasciitis pain, nothing. It was amazing and truly shocking. I have also tested these on several runs now and they're a gift from the shoe gods. I highly recommend trying them out, especially if you ever feel like you're running on concrete when you wear shoes. These hit every mark for me.

As you get a bit older (in my case, late 20s), you once again realize you have no time for unsupportive shoes and basic Nikes you wore in your younger years. Comfort is supreme. And if the shoe also happens to look good - that's a plus! I got both of those features in this shoe. I have only worn one pair of New Balances before and it was not a good-looking shoe to say the least - which deterred me from wanting to wear it at all. Happy to say, that's not at all a problem here. I love the sleek yet simple design. In terms of comfort - there is ample cushioning. The shoe is flexible - it moves with you. Despite that, it isn't mushy. It is soft and responsive to your needs. I don't find the midfoot lockdown loose. I love how the outsole is firm and well suited for all ...

I have been an avid runner for years and have tried many different sneaker brands.I was pretty impressed by this pair of sneakers. They are fairly lightweight and have really nice support.I run about 20+ miles per week and after testing these sneakers for 2 weeks, I would say they make really great everyday training sneakers. They are pretty comfortable and good quality, especially with the breathable mesh and high density foam sole.These sneaker also look more sleek, compared to older versions of New Balance. Thus, I was impressed that New Balance is coming out with nicer looking shoes, such as these. I also wanted to point out that typically, shoes with such a thick sole tend to make my feet look huge and I was satisfied that these shoes did not make my feet ...

The "N" logo on this pair of sneakers that I received is reflective, and this is not really my style. I prefer something a little more subtle.Disclosure: I received this product for free in exchange for my honest opinion.
My fussy feet have been looking for years for the just right running shoes, for walking and jogging the dog on light hikes and around town. No pain or pressure on my instep or around the tongue (my sensitive spot). Right away after trying 3 shoes that look more like the traditional "tennis shoes" from way back when, I knew I would have "happy feet" with this pair. I think it's because the heel is raised above my toes enough to relax my back and feel energized. I learned to stay away from "zero drop" which bothers my back and legs. Cushioned but not too much. The REI employee made sure I didn't choose a zero drop. Hopefully with more wear I will continue to feel the same way. I am ordering another pair in a different color!

I have the men's version of this shoe, and it's been great. I purchased the women's version for my wife because her old sneakers were worn out, and I'd had a good experience with mine. Unfortunately, the quality of the women's version is nowhere near what the men's version is. The outsole on the men's version is rubber along the entirety of the shoe. The outsole on the women's version is rubber on the toes and the very end of the heel. The rest is foam. Which means that the outsole under the ball of your foot, where a huge amount of friction and weight are concentrated, is foam.My wife has worn through over half of the outsole thickness under the ball of the foot on both shoes in less than two months, while only using the shoes to walk our dog 1-2 miles per day. ...

Her last pair of shoes from a competitor lasted over a year. Absolutely unacceptable quality for a shoe from a big-name brand that costs over $100.
After a few runs in my New Balance Fresh Foam X 880v13 it was very clear these were SO much better than the UA running shoes I had been wearing and every other running shoe I have personally purchased.The shoes are very cushioned, it's kinda springy feeling and it definitely made running on pavement SO much more comfortable for my feet and my knees. The shoes feel like they are form fitted to your feet, cradling all the places you'd want support from your shoe. They are light and breathable. Great for walks and runs. And since i read that New Balance is podiatrist approved, I will for sure be buying another pair of these when I wear the current ones out!I received this product for free in return for an honest review. My opinions are my own and are unbiased.
I received these shoes from Bzzagent and New Balance for free for my honest review. When I opened the box, the shoes looked stunning. As soon as I put the shoes on I realized they are run small. I loosened the laces and that did not help. I wore these for a 9 hour shift to break them in. My feet hurt so bad at the end of the day. There is also a plastic piece at the tip of the shoes. I cut my toe nails all the time, so they are not long, yet the plastic piece of the shoes kept catching my toe nails and caused pain and a skin crawling uncomfortable sensation. I tried to wear these to work out for a two weeks, and they are just as uncomfortable as day 1. If you want to try these shoes, I recommend sizing up 1 to 1.5 sizes.

My sister who does exercise and step training for seniors reconvened these, and she is 74 so a senior herself! As you know, when we get older our feet change from years of activity, weight, bunions and so on. My family also inherited wide feet. We have tried everything and what most companies consider wide are a joke. NB is truly an extra wide shoe with a wide toe base. I finally have found shoes that are comfortable with great support and a wonderful sole. I wear them for every day, walking, pickle ball and walking outside on uneven ground. Terrific. I ordered online and the shopping was easy, even for a non techy.My shoes came as promised in about 5 days buy UPS and shipping was free. I ended up needing a half size larger so I called the number and spoke to a ... MoreMy sister who does exercise and step training for seniors reconvened these, and she is 74 so a senior herself!
