- How does the 1880 compare with the New Balance 1080?
- The 1080 uses a plusher, more responsive Fresh Foam X midsole and a more refined upper. The 1880 is firmer, simpler and better suited to casual walking than to long-distance running.
- Is the 1880 good for wide feet?
- Yes. Owners with wide or high-volume feet report a roomy toe box. Try your usual New Balance size first.
- Can I use it for running?
- It is a walking shoe. The firmer foam and basic upper work for light jogging but not for regular training.
- How does the sizing run?
- Most buyers take their normal New Balance size. If you are between sizes and wear thick socks, consider the larger one.
- Does it have a removable insole?
- Yes, the footbed lifts out, so you can swap in an orthotic or a thicker insole.
- Is it breathable in hot weather?
- The upper is mesh-based and reasonably breathable, though it lacks the ventilation of dedicated summer walking shoes.
- Where is the New Balance Fresh Foam 1880 M cheapest?
- At KICKS CREW, for $115.83, as of our latest check.
