Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam X 880v12

Running and walking. Love the comfort however did not last more than 2 months. Completely worn on bottom under toe on ball if feet. Terrible. I don't feel they should have deteriorated that quickly.

These shoes are very comfortable and stylish. I love them!

So a few things why I Looooove these shoes 1 - the color omg I love this yellow and want to get the red too. 2- the fit I'm a 9 1/2 women's I got 10 I always go up half size in my runners I usually need wide but got the standard as these have a wider toe boxe. 3- so so so comfortable not to much cushion just enough. No heel slip and has the heel lock lace hole which is great for my long runs but I haven't needed it yet no slipping. I suffer from plantar fasciitis and it has not flared up at all. I ran I 5k two days after I got them and they felt great, i also run 3x a week or more and im traing for my 3rd half marathon. I'm also a PSW and wear them for work and my feet never hurt at the end of the day. A must must have for avid runners love my 880sv12 so much.

Fits very comfortable and offers a wide base of support!

Love my shoes! Had been fitted for shoes so I ordered the same ones. Very comfortable fore walking. I'm 88 &have to have comfort & stability.

I've run 2 marathons on NB880s and the V12 are just as good as my previous pairs. Take the time to get yourself professionally fitted if you're a runner aiming for anything more than the casual jog. It makes all the difference. I've tried both he 880 and the 1080s. The 1080s have more cushion & stability - but are noticeably heavier and have a more narrow toe box. For me, the 880s have just enough cushion to log long miles, but feel more secure around my ankle - and yes they running a little wide, which is good if your feet swell after 6+ miles. I normally wear an 8 in most shoes. I buy a 9 in these and that's perfect for me. They are true to size, but I deliberately buy a size up to allow for swell. They don't feel loose -- just right.

I have a very wide foot and high instep. These shoes fit perfectly. I love the colour and contrast colour. I wish they had a little more cushion. I'm a nurse and am on my feet all day. I recommend these shoes if you have wide feet.

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.

Great comfortable shoe! I've worn them now for a week and they feel great. I mainly do group fitness and walk in them. Would highly recommend. I got a half size bigger bc of the reviews saying they run small and it was perfect. You should buy them.
