New Balance880 v14

Verdict

The New Balance 880 v14 is a high-performing option in its class — a daily trainer scoring 87/100 in SoleHunt's data-driven evaluation, drawing on 0 consumer reviews and 0 independent expert tests. Tipping the scales at 280g, it is standard weight for a daily trainer. The 33mm heel stack — a generous stack — delivers a comfortably cushioned ride at 31 HC, returning 62% of impact energy and feeling responsive and lively underfoot. Geometrically, the 880 v14 runs on a mid 10mm drop that works with most running gaits, with a 23mm forefoot stack that maintains the traditional heel-elevated geometry runners with tight calves often prefer. Fit-wise, the toebox measures 93mm — roomy, with space for wider feet and swelling on long runs — and the upper is available in B/D/2E/4E widths. Roomy toe box. Half sizes available. The removable insole makes it compatible with custom orthotics. It is designed for high mileage, easy runs, wide feet, and performs less well for racing or speed sessions.
