New Balance Fresh Foam X 880

New Balance Fresh Foam X 880v15 The one to try for a hard-to-fit foot: it comes in narrow, standard, wide and extra-wide fittings for both men and women. A thick stack of firmer Fresh Foam X, 40.5 mm at the heel, gives plenty of protection without a squishy feel, and the 6 mm drop is lower than most shoes here. It is heavier than most too, at about 10.7 oz in a men's size, and the midfoot fits snugly. Testers found it softens as it wears in and works for short or long runs. List price $140.
