New Balance Men's 880 Shoes

Product Information

I think the upper, despite its soft plush comfort is the 880v12 weaker point as I believe it contributes to the 0. It’s not as bouncy and dynamic as the Rebel V2, but it is a solid daily trainer that I want to put on when I have a recovery or easy day. When gripping it with my fingers I can easily compress the side walls, however it bounces back adding structure to the back of the shoe. A moulded external heel counter locks down the midfoot and helps to control heel movement so you'll always feel supported. Sam: Despite being a bit low and pointy upfront the Velociti Wind’s upper is considerably more secure and locked down than 880’s and is my preference.

Sam: The midsole is made up of 2 foams both of the same hardness but of different densities and compounds. Thanks to the more traditional features offered in the 880 v12, it makes it a great shoe for beginner runners as it offers a smooth and responsive ride without being over the top.Sam: Considerably lighter, almost 2 oz / 57g lighter on an almost identical stack height but with 8mm vs 10mm drop, the Salomon leans more uptempo than the 880, if it is a bit less forgiving overall. In this situation, it may be best to find a trained physical therapist that can help point you in the right direction. That said, I found the dual-density foam less smooth than the Fresh Foam X 1080v12, which uses only the Fresh Foam X underfoot. I have attempted to crank down tighter on the laces for a more secure fit, but let’s just say this shoe runs wide. I'm very prone to say this phrase, but with these New Balance Fresh Foam 880 v12 it's true: "they deliver what they promise".

I appreciate the simplicity of the shoe and while it’s not dynamic by any means it is a solid daily trainer that I have been lacing up for long cruising runs or recovery days.

The fit of the upper on the 880 is a little more relaxed and, while the firmness is similar, the flexibility of the 880 makes it a much more runnable shoe for me. The 880 is more versatile and with its new foam make up gets closer than before to that front energy I like in the More while remaining slower paces friendly. It got a wider platform and a combination of Fresh Foam for the main midsole and FuelCell as a front lower layer.Sam: The next step “up” in cushion after the 1080 the More v3 with its 4mm drop is much more fun to run faster than the 880, with a very distinct energetic bounce off the forefoot but is overly low and soft at the heel for me at slower paces. The latest offering in the 880 line, the Fresh Foam X 880v12 features a reimagined, dual-layer midsole. You won’t mistake these for a Pebax monster, but you’ll appreciate the added benefit on tempos or easy days when your legs are trashed.

Finally, runners will notice a much softer heel cushion than the previous model, allowing for a softer ride and landing.
