How it ranks
The New Balance Fresh Foam 880 v10’s rating is an early estimate. We’ve collected 6 runner reviews so far, with product line history and external ratings also informing the score.
Confidence
How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence is low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.

Overall
I’ve been wearing the NB 880 for 13 years. I haven’t had any issues with it or injuries that I think were caused by the shoe so I’ve stuck with it.

switched over from the pegs into 880's and I've loved them ever since. Great daily trainer to put a lot of miles in.
