First true running shoe I’ve ever purchased. While trying it on against many many others in store it was the only one that felt natural to move around in. Couldn’t be happier with my purchase and use it daily for indoor running on a treadmill. Even after a full hour at moderately high speeds, my feet don’t feel fatigued or achy.Would definitely recommend.

i have been a regular buyer of the 880 wide (2E) model since its early versions . Always good results but this one v12 seems slightly tighter on the toes. I have about 20k on them now and the tightness seems there to stay. Quite a bit of chafe on the small toe even with thin socks. Otherwise always great service from Running Room :)

I am a ninth decade senior and this was my fifth or sixth pair of this model (different versions). I walk at an athletic pace between 3 and 4 miles six days a week. I have been going back to this model simply because it works for me. No problems. Comfortable and reliable. In other words, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”

The shoes are great, my husband loves them, however they are WAY too expensive for what they are. These are not elite running sneakers; they're shoes for walking around or wearing to the office. I don't know why New Balance has gotten so expensive.
This is the 5th pair of 880s I've purchased. Since I wear wide (2E), it's hard to find shoes that fit correctly. I've tried a few different brands that offer 2E size shoes, but I've found New Balance's 880 to be the perfect fit for me. These shoes have carried me from 30mpw up to 75mpw without issue. I'll keep buying them as long as New Balance keeps making them!
I've run through 7 pairs of the prior version of these shoes (880v12) and hated that NB fundamentally changed the cushioning. But, after finally breaking down and giving them a try, I love them. Great for easy runs and even casual wear. They aren't for up-tempo running, but that's kind of the point. Well done, New Balance.
Purchased this shoes to replace my Saucony runners.They fit smaller than I had expected. I typically take a size 9, but a 9 1\2 would have suited me better IMO.As I’m not a regular runner I find these were very comfortable and offered great support even on uneven terrain like a gravel road.Would recommend them for beginner and intermediate runners.
I have extra wide feet and pronated ankles. Now that I am old, I also have arthritis, bone spurs, hammer toes, plantar fasciitis, and most painful of all, bunions. I use medical orthotics (shoe inserts). I chose New Balance because they reportedly have wider sizes. It took a lot of online searching to find this size, but I ordered four NB models in mens' 7.5 4E. I kept this 880 model and returned the other three because the 880 felt sturdier than the 860. Even with the stretchy uppers, it has taken several weeks to break them in to accommodate my bunions. This is a good shoe for my bad feet. It is the best one I have found so far.
I bought these sneakers and within 2 weeks there was a hole in the top of the canvas. These sneakers are terrible. I paid a lot of money and even with the cheaper sneakers that I used to buy I never had a whole the size of a dime form on the top of a sneaker. A true waste of money. The company was unresponsive in my trying to return the sneaker. Don't buy the sneaker and don't deal ever with this company
Very good shoes. I wanted the fresh foam more but I could not get them in my size, so I tried these. These are very good shoes, but I have found the fresh foam more to be more comfortable for me. The fresh foam more is five stars out of five so these must be a little less. So I gave them four stars, since they are almost as good.
