This shoe is LIGHT...comfotatble...BUT I needed a shoe with a thicker sole, since I am on treadmill for 2 hours.
This shoe is perfect for shorter walks..and casual wear. I LOVE the XX wide width. I'Ihave been wearing nothing but New balance all my life - I need the width for my bunions.

I would have given 5 stars but I had to order a full size up because this shoe didn't come in wide.

I love the shoe, but it's too large for me and you don't have a smaller size . Maybe you will get another shipping. I do recommend this shoe.

New Balance is my go-to brand for athletic shoes - they just fit my feet best.

I ordered my normal size, 9 wide, but my toe went all the way to the end of the shoe. So I have to size up, but this was the only one. I LOVE the pink and that would help me run faster. LOL I usually wear a 9W in New Balance.

Heel was too wide to seat my Orthotics properly so my foot kept sliding off the side of the footbed. Great roomy toe box and cool colors. Narrower heel would have made them perfect

I've quickly gone through 2 pair of Brooks that look just like this shoe. Both had holes at the front of the toes within a month. I have worn New Balance
for years and hoped this would be a good replacement. First, they do not fit my foot. They are too narrow from top to insert and put pressure on the front of my arch. Second, I can see that they too will end up with holes since there is very little rubber bumper to protect the toes. Instead if the shoe hits anything-like stairs- there is little protection other than thin fabric. The length and width were good so if you have a low arch and want to risk holes, these do look good and might work for you.

This is my second pair of NB Fresh Foam shoes & the others fit slightly bigger in the toe area. These are almost too short even though I ordered the same size as before.

I usually buy the New Balance 1080's, but I liked the white and pink colors on this 880. It fit 1/2 size smaller than the 1080 with less cushioning. Will go back to the 1080's for the cushier ride.

The shoe is very comfortable. I did have to order a full size up though. Seems a bit short compared to other new balance sneakers I’ve bought.

This is the standard IPIC for running, and always replace my old shoes with this one. It's consistent, it's cushioned, and it's all my fault is the lack of colors and the proper size.

I've almost worn out my last New Balance sneaker and found the replacement! Perfect for walking and gym work.
The only downside is they fit a little shorter than my last pair but I still find them comfortable.

I walk daily and have worn the 880's for years. I like the deep toe box and am happy that you are providing more colors. The shoe laces on the last pair that I purchased will not stay tied. I am going to have to replace them as stopping to tie them is annoying.

It was time for me to buy new running shoes as the tread on my old pair was getting thin. I was a little weary about this purchase as the design had been changed and wasn't sure what to expect. The first day I wore them BOTH shoelaces kept coming undone while I was running in them!! The shoelaces are much shorter than my old pair and now I barely have enough room to double knot them, so that they stay in place. That is a flaw that needs to be fixed!

Im a nurse and wear these to work. They are very comfortable but they run small! Im glad I tried them on in store. I normally wear a 10 but had to get a size 11.

Love NB Foam Fresh shoes but this was the smallest/narrowest shoe I've tried on. I even ordered up a half size and it was still shorter than I would like so I'm sending them back. I may try ordering a wide width for the first time in my life, and a full size up, to see if these would fit properly.

I love these shoes. I'm a nurse that works 12 hour shifts. This is my 4th pair. The only problem the shoe laces are 2 inches shorter than my previous pairs. I know that this doesn't sound like much, but it is! Hard to tie a bow. Please return to reasonable length shoe laces.

Wide width is actually wide. Fabric is comfortable without a lot of break-in time. I wish more colors were available in wider widths.

I typically wear a 9W in NB and also have high arches and a narrow heel. After reading reviews about the shoe running short I ordered a 9 1/2 W. My toe still hit the tip of the shoe and looked like it was going to break through. Blue color is great and shoes were very comfy, just way short.

i bought these so i'd have a fresh pair to bring with on my trip overseas. i was a little disappointed in the comfort level and REALLY disappointed in the laces, they keep untieing and i have to double knot them to keep from tripping on my laces when they untie, please go back to cotton laces, polyester/nylon just don't stay closed!

Fantastic shoe, especially for extra wide feet.
Only negative, the shoe laces are too short.

I've only just gotten these and haven't done more than test them out with insoles and thicker socks. I wanted to get a wider shoe because New Balance said the toe bed is somewhat narrow for these shoes. I hope they will provide a good amount of cushioning and support.
