Review on 👟 New Balance M880GY8 Performance Running Shoe 880V8 by Charles Ahmar

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Second pair - perfect for X-Wide Feet

I have wide feet and struggle to find comfortable running shoes and have tried many brands. New Balance have always made good wide options, but I've been buying Asics for a couple of years and have found them to be better. Unfortunately, Asics changed their design and the toe box is too narrow even on the 4E. I switched to New Balance last year and now have two pairs of 880v8s in a size 11 4E and they are impressive; I also add my own OTC supplements. I ran a half marathon with it on December 18th and didn't miss it. I weigh about 200 pounds. and find them extremely comfortable even over long kilometers. I tie the laces to take the pressure off my foot and hook the upper to fit snugly around my heels as shown in the photo I took this morning right before my first run with the second pair , which I just bought. This morning I ran 10km on tarmac and they ran like a caddy! Highly recommended!

Pros
  • ABZORB midfoot cushioning provides exceptional cushioning
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product
