Fresh Foam X 880 v15 Running Shoe (Women)

I love these shoes!! I originally fell in love with the 1080’s and bought like 5 pairs of those for work and walking. But I found I needed a little bit more support for my knees so I swapped to the 880’s and OMG!! I’m on my third pair now!! lol These shoes are so comfy and have just enough support that they don’t become stiff and hard. Because I once tried the 860’s and they weren’t quite soft and cushiony enough for my liking. If you want a very comfy, cushioned shoe that is able to also be supportive, these shoes are for you. I typically wear a 8 - 9 shoe and the size 9 fits perfectly.

I usually buy the New Balance 880 and have for many years. However, when I bought and tried this version, there was a couple of noticeable differences, and not good ones. When I compared it to my current pair of 880's, the sole was considerably higher. When I put them on, i definitely felt higher and a little bit slanted, which after a bit of wearing, but pressure on my knees as I tried to compensate for the leaning forward. Also, the shoe was incredibly squeaky, it didn't matter if I was on carpet or hardwood, after a couple of hours of wear, it didn't stop squeaking. Unfortunately, I wound up having to return them, which is the first time I've bought a pair of NB 880's that didn't work for me, not only because they were noisy but also caused me pain. Please stop tweaking things New Balance! There was nothing wrong with the design before and your new design has made things worse. I guess I will be seeking out sneakers from another brand from now on.
