The 880v15 comes in standard, wide, and extra wide for both genders, which is why it's the first shoe we reach for when someone with wide feet walks through the door. The Fresh Foam X midsole got a massive overhaul this year, jumping to a 40.5mm heel stack that puts it in max-cushion territory, but the foam itself is firmer and more responsive than the 1080v15 .

New Balance continues the 880’s great streak and managed to keep it from disappointing my own high standards. It’s a super comfortable shoe for daily miles or even if someone wants something to walk in. I think anyone wanting a running shoe without the need for any crazy frills will be very happy with the 880v15.

The New Balance Fresh Foam X 880v15 is one of my favorite shoes for standing and walking all day. Its Fresh Foam X midsole is cushy but not overly soft, giving you that sweet spot between comfort and support—the brand calls this shoe their “most cushioned” experience.

Si te gustaba la 880v14, esta 880v15 te va a encantar. Más amortiguación que nunca sin abandonar ni la estabilidad ni tampoco la seguridad de un modelo conocido por ser uno de los más fiables del mercado.

The New Balance Fresh Foam X 880v15 is one of the more unheralded running shoes in the industry but is an option that I think more runners should consider. If you’re like me and you prefer something soft yet supportive over something soft and squishy for easy runs then this shoe might be right up your alley.
