New Balance Fresh Foam X 880v12 RUNNING SHOE Review

New Balance says that the Fresh Foam X 880v12 is a shoe that DOES IT ALL! Are they right? The Fresh Foam X 880v12 is a neutral, moderate cushion daily trainer running shoe from New Balance that is designed to help you pack in the miles without getting in your way. The 880 series running shoe is the less-cushioned little sibling of the more-cushioned 1080 series, and it uses the same formulation of Fresh Foam X in the heel and midsole while adding some more responsive foam in the forefoot. It also has extra rubber on the outsole making the 880v12 a super-durable daily trainer running shoe.

I'm still relatively new to New Balance (is that weird to say?), so I'm curious to hear from you about your experience in the 880s or any of the New Balance line of running shoes. Let me know what you think in the comments!
