878
Originally posted on New Balance EMEA
Yes, I recommend this
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

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

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.

Great trainers. Straight out of the box they looked fresh, really like the retro vibe with the off-white colours against the grey nubuck upper taking Dad core all the way to the bank !!! ++++

A good all-day wearable.
Originally posted on New Balance EMEA
Yes, I recommend this
A good all-day wearable. I would say slightly more room in the forefoot but better to be this way than too tight. I was slightly weary of other reviews that said the sizing is on the large side but would recommend you to stick to your usual size.
