- Is the Fresh Foam 1880 good for walking all day?
- Yes. The soft Fresh Foam midsole and light build suit standing and walking on pavement for long stretches. If you need firm support, a stability shoe may be a better match.
- Does it fit true to size?
- Most owners say it fits true to size, but some with wider feet find it narrow. Try a half size up if you wear thick socks or have a wide forefoot.
- Is it waterproof?
- No. The mesh upper is breathable but not waterproof, so it soaks through in rain. It is a fair-weather walking shoe.
- How does it compare with the Fresh Foam 1080?
- The 1080 is the plusher, more premium trainer with more cushioning. The 1880 is lighter and simpler, better for casual walking than for high-mileage training.
- Can I use it for running?
- It is designed for walking and everyday wear. Runners wanting more responsiveness and support should look at New Balance's running-specific Fresh Foam models.
- What is the outsole made of?
- A rubber outsole, which gives decent grip and durability on pavement and indoor floors.
- Where is the New Balance Fresh Foam 1880 W - White/Gray cheapest?
- At KICKS CREW, for $101.79, as of our latest check.
