20 Miles in the New Balance 880v14: Double Run Day Test
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 лип 2024
- The New Balance "Fresh Foam X" 880v14 is a firm, frill-free daily trainer. It uses a different midsole foam than the "Fresh Foam X" 1080v13, though the foam is named the same in both shoes. In this video, I put the 880v14 through my double run day test with a treadmill 12 miler in the morning and an 8 mile recovery run around the neighorhood in the afternoon. I also test the shoe's walking comfort on a light hike and show you how I fuel on these big mileage days.

watching your videos has really inspired me to get out of my seat and move! it's amazing how you manage to make time for running, taking care of your family and providing daily uploads on youtube. you are such an inspiration and it's been an amazing journey watching your videos!!
Thank you so much for the kind comment! That means a lot to me 🙌🏽
Thanks for adding a list of alternative trainers at 26:55, that was very helpful. I would also recommend the hoka rincon 3, which is now on sale at REI for $86 🔥
Whoa. You’re one dedicated dude. Subscribed. 🤪 🤯
🙌🏽 thank you!
I have a Spotify playlist with 1000 songs that are everything thats good in my life! I am 60 this year. I was a DJ so I had to play anything and everything that got people moving. So many songs on random, all great classics but most important fantastic songs to reflect on 🤔
That's awesome! Share it with us here if you can 🙌🏽
Great review as always. And, you hit a nerve with me regarding the running shoe industry. As you said, call it Fresh Foam X for the cushy version and Fresh Foam Y for the firm version. Running shoe companies really should do a better job defining the characteristics of their shoes. Hopefully, that will change in the future. Keep up the good work.
I used the 880 v14 for 8 miles yesterday and really enjoyed it (for a daily trainer feel), but it was on the treadmill so it gave me more bounce. I am really curious to try them outside.
It's annoying running in a really uninspiring shoe when you know you have better options. I agree with a lot of the alternatives you list and I'd add the Novablast, too, with v4 at $140, it is a decently versatile shoe. I've seen that tempeh so many times at TJ's. Maybe I'll have to try the teriyaki tempeh for the kids one of these days.
Thanks for the novablast 4 addition - I've gotta try that one soon. Also lightlife makes some really good tempeh that comes pre marinated. I think they have a tempeh bacon and a buffalo flavor
I appreciate the in-depth review. I thought that maybe you’d like the Hyperion Max as much as the Adizero SLs because of it is lightweight with the extra cushioning similarities. What was the difference between the two?
Hyperion max felt awkward and uncomfortable at certain paces for my mechanics. Even though the Adizero SL is firm the geometry worked a lot better for how I run. Hyperion max works really well for a lot of people though, especially strong mid/forefoot strikers
I feel you on the hills. Lucky for my speed days I have a public asphalt track I can grind on. Perfect 2 mile warm up away from the house.
You describe this shoe how I describe the suacony shift. It’s described on their website as a max cushion shoe and it’s by far the hardest shoe I have I think. I’m certain it’s going to cause an injury. Seems durable though. 115 miles and hardly no wear.
That's clutch you have a track nearby. The closest tracks/flat greenways to me are all 20+ minutes away. Btw I actually loved the endorphin shift 3 - definitely firmer but the rocker geometry worked super well for my stride. I got 350 miles out of my pair last year
@@supwell it’s definitely an old beat up track but it’s still completely useable.
I’m glad you enjoyed the shoe. I’ve been trying to myself but I don’t know. I’ve had maybe 2 solid runs. Seems like a casual run in them takes a lot more effort than if I were to hope in literally any other shoe in my closet lol. I don’t know. Must be me haha
Just ordered a pair of 880's and at first I was discouraged when you said it was a 6/10 at everything but honestly for a first running shoe i think this will work good for me as well as i needed a wide fit shoe and most running shoes or athletic shoes in general just hurt my feet. We'll see how they feel
Love my 880s. I find the formula perfect for a do it all shoe. The upper fits like a glove and is great for a gym shoe. I can do lateral and vertical movements , box, lighter squats , deads, ect, and then take them on the treadmill. I'm not a high milage runner, but I do alote of fast stride work, and I find them perfect for that as they are light and have some snap. They are also great to slip on and go run errands. I'm 185 lbs, I found the 1080 was wayyyy too soft for my liking. I only use mine for dressing up or casual walks.
Yeah that sounds like a good use for them actually. What's the longest you typically like running in them? I could see myself enjoying these for gym workouts/CrossFit - but for me not suitable for running more than an hour in comfort. And 1080 is very soft for sure - brooks ghost max would be a good alternative to the 880 for someone who wants a little more cushion but not super soft like 1080
@supwell I got the ghost max but only use them as a dress shoe in triple black. My runs are typically 5k tops. I focus primarily on strength training and muscle growth. My cardio is more cross fit style or boxing. Or short, fast runs.
Interesting. I’m a CrossFit coach, and I try really hard to get people out of running shoes while in the gym. I can’t ever imagine using these for box jumps, and a rope climb would totally shred them. You are totally right that they fit like a glove though. I wore them to work all day as well as an 8 mile run, and that upper felt great all day.
@stefaniesmith7117 rope climbs would shred them you're right. I should rephrase what I said. For hardcore cross fit , get a metcon or something with guards and a firmer midsole for sure. If you want something in the middle where you can do some light indoor or outdoor training with running and hitting obstacles, I would use the 1080. Box jumps onto cement ledges they work great. The grip in doors is not the best. That's my one negative.
Ok then, so if the 1080 is way to soft and offers to little stability for daily training, what would you recommend? for reference my race shoe/fast show is the rebel!
I looked up the stack heights of the 880v12 and v14 and the 880v12 is 32 mm and the v14 is 29 mm so they went with a lower stack which is a bit puzzling. I'm using the v12 as my DT and it's as you describe - on the harder side and it's just something that I don't think about much. It gets the job done but nothing special about it. I don't think that I'd buy them if they are harder than my v12s due to the lower stack.
What's your opinion on the Clifton 9s? Would you say those are better as a daily trainer than the 880s?
I’m with you on the fresh bread toast. For me it’s peanut butter and honey 😋😋😋
Running in Timberland Boot in NYC. Great line lol
Si glad i saw this. I was also disappointed, and was expecting something a bit more soft or responsive
Adidas has a new shoe called Supernova Stride which is a lower version of supernova rise it has dreamstrike plus in the forefoot-midfoot only just like lightstike pro of adios 7 and is about 30-40 dollars cheaper. i dont think midfoot strikers will find any difference between them, but i already have too many shoes to wear out and nobody reviewed them yet...
I’m early. Insomnia finally being helpful lol
Know the feeling🥺
Hahaha thanks for joining us early. Hope you sleep better tonight 🤞🏽
I agree with you, I wish they would use a slightly different name for their foams, almost feel it’s lying because in this case, you think you’re getting a lower stack of the freshfoamX from the 1080 but you’re not.
Then there are random budget friendly NB with just freshfoam and are softer 🤷🏻♂️
The previous 2 versions of the 880 v12/V13 had a dual layer midsole foam of freshfoamX and fuelcell. NB is def experimenting with their foams. Agree that the 1080 is marshmallowy soft .
This is not a knock on your shoe review because they are my favorite online, but supwell kitchen truly shines.
So sad to see the 880 decline with the subpar midsole. Hopefully they remedy it next year
you should do a video on how you tie your shoes
This shoes are actually better for walking or standing all day as the super softness of the 1080 can actually cause fatigue while standing many hours at a time or walking slowly
Thanks for the review. I just bought this shoe and put it to a 6miles run and I can say that I agree with everything you said about it. I am skeptical about the other options you listed because I have a very wide feet 2E+ and high arc.
I have a Saucony endorphin speed 2 that has accumulated over 400 miles while it is a huge contrast to v14 I can’t use it for long run without getting blisters.
I use both for DT but Saucony for tempo and short runs and v14 for long runs.
I plan to replace the Saucony but with what I have no idea 😂.
Any idea of a shoe that has a support for:
- wide feet
- high arch
- good 4 a half marathon
- tempo run
The top two shoes I'd recommend for replacing the speed 2 are the new balance sc trainer v2 and adidas Boston 12. Sc trainer v2 is a little softer and more comfortable - not as good as the speed 2 for top end speed but a more accommodating fit and more stable. Boston 12 is firmer but a great shoe for running fast like the speed 2. It's a bit polarizing but I have absolutely loved mine workouts and long runs. But if you want soft then definitely the sc trainer v2
Thanks a lot, I will check out both and decide.
You need to make a video on how you lace your shoes. And it better be quick cause Im going crazy each time ahah 😬
I got you 🙌🏽 ua-cam.com/users/shortstASsKW2FFEI?si=sW8ZFFTKxf4owiAr
Have you reviewed the On Cloudeclipse? I love mine!
Haven't run in them yet but have heard great things
@@supwell ON…..send the man a pair! One of the best reviewers in the game today.
Yes for the Fellow! My wife and I donated all our other tumblers because they don’t perform near as well as the Fellow ones. And same with you, I drink Chemex every morning.
Question, would you do a video explaining your decision to go vegan and how it’s impacted your fitness/energy?
Love it - Chemex is so worth the extra effort! And great idea on the video topic. I'll make sure to include that soon
I have a strong bias towards firm shoes for walking. That may be why I enjoy it. But for running, 10/10 I pick up the 1080v13 or Nimbus 25.
Interesting to say you didn't like the Hyperion Max! I've never tried it but I thought they were highly regarded?
Hyperion max aren't a bad shoe but they didn't work for my mechanics. It has a heel cutout which made for super awkward landings at slower paces. And even when running fast I didn't love the feel of the geometry - it's a good speed shoe for midfoot/forefoot strikers but wasn't right for me
I personally hated the Hyperion max. Lots of folks I work with felt the same. It seems to be a love/hate situation.
How would you compare this shoe to the 860v13, if you have run in that at all? I have been using 860s for about 2 years now (I think I am on my 11th pair), and I am having some issues, that may lead to me switching to a neutral shoe, but I want to stick with New Balance, as I have come to love their shoes, and I know that they will work for me. I just wondered how they might compare. The 860, I know, has a bit more stack in the heel, as well as of course the medial post, but I have no issue with needing to break in a shoe. I run about 50 miles a week anyway during track season, so this wouldn't take long to break in. I am certainly open to something like the Saucony Ride 16/17 or even the Tempus, if I don't decide to switch from stability shoes, but I don't like Asics at all, and Nike's trainers are often too narrow for me, because, I don't need wide sized shoes, but I do prefer a very roomy toe box, because my feet a little messed up from playing soccer in soccer cleats for 14 years.
I haven't tried the 860 yet but I should be getting it within the next few weeks to test so stay tuned!
@@supwellAwesome, I look forward to it.
Looking for a good running shoe for a wide foot and im 6'2 215 looking to do more hybrid training. let me know if you have any suggestions for my next running shoe
Saw your other comment too - it should be okay for a first running shoe but it's not my favorite for anything. I'd highly recommend the 860v14 from new balance - similar name but completely different feel. Way more pop to it and a lot more comfortable. If you're going to keep the 880 and end up liking it, I'd suggest the Asics novablast 4 as a shoe to pair with it. Has more cushion, a protective but fun feel and is great for longer runs, so as you start building up mileage it'll be a nice shoe to rotate with the 880. It also comes in wide
@@supwell thanks so much man i appreciate it
Some people (not me) can't get past the look of the newer high-stack shoes and just want the look of a regular/traditional shoe. I've talked to some people that think this and they'll look at my shoes like a Superblast or Nimbus 25 and tell me they can't wear them because they look strange.
I like running in more traditional feeling shoes sometimes too. This one is just not it 😂 Pegasus and puma velocity nitro 3 are much better options around the same price/cheaper
✍🏾"Brick" on my brick ❤
Maybe they had a little mix-up in the foam factory and got some concrete in there.
😂😂😂 totally possible
Sounds like you have given the 880s an honest shot, it’s a stinker.
Unfortunately yes so far. Need to take it to 100 miles (not sure how long that is going to take lol) so hopefully it can change for me at some point. But not holding out hope at this point
How it's compairs to velocity 3?
Both are firm but the velocity nitro 3 feels more protective and softens up during long runs. I took the velocity nitro 3 for a 22 mile run and it was super protective and gave me good bounce throughout - during my marathon pace miles it almost felt like a plated shoe. 880 for me has felt a bit lifeless as I progress through a run
just ordered Velocity 3!! thank you for your opinion. BTW Floatzig Reebok was hurting my ankle and had to send it back, unfortunately.@@supwell
Putting back the empty teriyaki sauce 😂 29:46
hahaha after I flamed them for putting back the empty jam too 😂 but I swear there was enough in there to flavor some rice
Asking if you take why protein after rub
Whey protein isn’t vegan
Not whey but I will do the tailwind recovery mix - it has protein plus carbs which are super helpful for post run recovery
i don't use a protein powder but i do the tailwind recovery mix which has protein and carbs. it helps me get quick calories in after a run - and for post-run recovery the most important is to get fast-digesting carbs. so having toast/cereal/a banana also works but the tailwind is super easy especially when i'm working full time. then i try to have a full meal with protein, carbs, fat within two hours of finishing a run
Ride 17 with Powerrun + leaves the 880 in the dust.
Still need to try that one. On my list for after the Mach 6 and maybe novablast 4
Nb is shite
Which width are you wearing? Narrow, 2E, 4E?
I got the standard D width in a US men's 10.5
Cool. I’m getting Rebel 4 then. Thanks. Say hello to your mom for me, she bakes nice bread
