Fresh Foam X 880 v14

A first-time New Balance runner PR'd a 10K in the 880 v14 straight out of the box and loves it as a mid-cushion shoe that kept runner's knee at bay.

“These new 880 were chefs kiss right out the box.”

A runner adores the 880 v14 from 10:00/mi down to 5:30, finding it more responsive than the v13 though it resists going faster than half-marathon pace.

“I’ve adored the 880v14. Taken it as slow as 10min/mi pace and as fast as 5:30”

A sub-40 10K runner found the 880 v14 runs short, sizing up half a size, with a generous toe box wider than the 1080.

“The 880 v14 is short. For the first time in 5 years of running I went up half a size”

At 300 miles and 50-60 mpw, a runner has used the 880 v14 as an all-round workhorse for daily runs, long runs up to 18 miles, light trail and some speed work.

“It's been used as an all around workhorse for me.”

A 185 lb runner found the 880 v14 felt like trash by 150-180 miles, while other shoes lasted past 300.

“The NB 880 v 14 and the ASICS Kayano 30s felt like trash at the 150- 180 mile time frame.”

A runner rotates the 880 v14 with the adidas SL and finds it versatile.

“I am also rotating the 880v14 with the SL. They are both versatile but have different feels.”

Coming from the v12, a runner finds the 880 v14 a sizable improvement: a little springier and comfortable for runs of 15+ miles.

“they do feel a little springier, and I'm super comfortable taking them long - have gone up to 15 miles, won't hesitate to go longer.”

A runner loves the 880 v14's secure fit and extra arch support, a happy medium on cushioning that helped their pace.

“I love how my feet feel secure and a little extra arch support.”

A long-time 880 runner enjoyed the v14 as a light, simple daily with good ground feel, though the foam lacked return; they found the v15 clunky.

“I didn’t like how there was no return to the foam, but everything else was solid for me.”
