- Is the Fresh Foam 1880 good for all-day walking?
- Yes. The Fresh Foam midsole is cushioned and forgiving, which suits long days on your feet. It is heavier than knit walkers, so it is less ideal for fast walking.
- How does it compare with the Fresh Foam Arishi?
- The Arishi uses a mesh upper and is lighter and more breathable. The 1880's suede upper looks dressier and feels more structured, but it runs warmer.
- Is it waterproof?
- No. This version has no Gore-Tex or waterproof membrane, and the suede upper will soak up rain. Treat it with a suede protector if you walk in wet weather.
- Does it fit true to size?
- Most women take their usual New Balance size. If you wear thick socks or have wide feet, consider a half size up, since the suede upper has little stretch.
- What is the shoe best for?
- Everyday walking, errands and casual wear. It is not a running shoe and not built for trails or wet conditions.
- Where is the New Balance Fresh Foam 1880 Series W - Black cheapest?
- At KICKS CREW, for $88.92, as of our latest check.
