I think I found my favourite silhouette. Fits great and very comfortable. I’ll be buying another pair of this colour and others.

Great shoes

Style and material are great. Sizing can be a bit bigger. Half size down the usual is ok.

Comfy trainers.
Originally posted on New Balance EMEA
Looking for my first trainers at 81 I was have great difficulty as most seemed too narrow. In the New Balance shop the assistant suggested the 878s, but a size bigger than my shoe. Amazingly comfortable. Just love them. Shame they are not waterproof.

These trainers where bought for a recent family holiday and after wearing them to a theme park and on long walks I can honestly say they are extremely comfortable and reliable.

Very comfortable shoes, lightweight with cushioned sole, I’m size 9.5 Nike, size 10 adidas gazelle, the size 10 878 fit me perfectly, they wouldn’t have wanted to be any smaller. I really like them, just what I was looking for, my teenagers tell me they look good with jeans and shorts.

Your review brightened our day, thank you! Hope your teenagers will enjoy every moment on the move with NB 878. A good stride can turn an ordinary day into a great one.
Illuminating surprising
Originally posted on New Balance EMEA
No, I don't recommend this
Okay quality really high up at the back, also they illuminate in the dark which if I’m totally honest is a bit embarrassing when I’m going out for a meal or to the pub and have to walk, look like a cats eye you find in the middle of the road. Will wear them in the car maybe but definitely not at night.

Super cumfy
Originally posted on New Balance EMEA
Probably the most cumfy trainers I’ve found in 15 years. Lovley and squashy. Look good too, zero complaints.

Runs a little bigger than normal
Originally posted on New Balance EMEA
Yes, I recommend this
They do run a half size big as a lot of others had mentioned. That actually suits me with thicker socks in this cooler time of year. Very nice trainer.
