- Is the 880 V7 good for all-day standing?
- Yes. The Fresh Foam midsole cushions both heel and forefoot, which owners say keeps feet comfortable through long shifts. The soft ride suits standing and strolling more than fast walking.
- Does it come in wide widths?
- Yes. It is offered in narrow, standard and wide widths, which is rare among walking shoes. That makes it a strong pick for shoppers who struggle to find a fit.
- Is it waterproof?
- No. The mesh and suede upper is breathable but not waterproof, and this version has no Gore-Tex membrane. Look for a water-resistant walking shoe if you walk in rain.
- How does it compare with the Fresh Foam 880 running shoe?
- The walking version uses a similar Fresh Foam platform but is tuned for walking pace with a more relaxed fit. Runners should stay with the running 880, which has a firmer, more responsive ride.
- What is the drop and cushioning like?
- New Balance builds the walking 880 with heel and forefoot cushioning on a foam midsole for a balanced, soft ride. It favors comfort over ground feel.
- Can I use it for light hiking or trails?
- It is a pavement shoe. The rubber outsole grips sidewalks and gym floors well, but the soft foam and mesh upper are not built for rough trails.
- Where is the New Balance Fresh Foam Walking 880 V7 cheapest?
- At KICKS CREW, for $91.26, as of our latest check.
