Like other reviewers, I'm very disappointed in this version of the 880s. Way too cushioned, too high of a sole, and the rocker is insane. I live in a hilly area and running up and down hills in these felt extremely unstable. I tried two different sizes and even a different New Balance model and returned all 3. Back to rocking my tried and true 880v10s LOL. Hoping New Balance comes out with a more traditional 880 model soon, because I love the FreshFoam and am in desperate need of a replacement.

The fit is very comfortable, I have used this model for years.

Material is a bit stiff and takes a while to break into. Gave me a blister the first few days

I just love this shoe. I have worn NB since I started running over 25 years ago, I'm a late starter, and they have never let me down. From running my first 5k to finishing the Honolulu Marathon, and now starting again after "life happened" I will continue to trust this brand until I can't run any longer.
Zero time to break in felt and fit great from the start

I was very relieved with the fit of these new Fresh Foam X880v15s after wearing out my 840v4s. I was discouraged to find out they were not made anymore but the Fresh Foams X880v15s have more than made up for it!

I love that they are so light and comfortable as I wear them all day for work.

These are the most supportive shoes I have ever owned. This is my third purchase of 880's (I literally wore the other 2 out). I first bought these when I was recovering from an ankle injury for everyday use and now these are my go to footwear. Smart enough to wear as a casual streetwear shoe and for daily exercise. A great wide footbed, no rubbing at the heel or toes easy to keep clean.

I’ve been wearing 880s for years, but this newest pair is not the same. My heel slides around in the back and doesn’t feel secure, yet if I tie it tight enough to prevent this, I have pain in the top of my foot. I bought the same size that I always have, which was also the size recommended by their 3-D foot scanner. Really bummed about this as I really don’t want to find a new model, potentially with a new brand.

This is the second time I've purchased the 880 fresh foam. My first pair lasted me 4 years with everyday use and wear. They always kept my feet comfortable and made long days on my feet bearable. When this pair wears out I will be purchasing the fresh foam 880's again! :)

Had to return. I have worn new balance 880 for years. 15 is uncomfortable and not the same fit as 14.
