Solid
Worn Hoka Clifton’s the last 10yrs. Took to long for the 10’s to arrive so went with the New Balance and have been happy. Cushioning and the outsole last longer. Hokas done after 300miles. NB’s will surpass.

Staff is awesome
Luke at the fort mill SC location was helpful as could absolutely be helping my wife and I find a new shoe for jogging and walking. He also somehow kept our 1 year old entertained while he did a 10/10 job.

My 1st Pair of Real Running Shoes
I always viewed the New Balance as an "old people shoes." Also, I always bought "expensive brands," but low end model shoes. The Fleet Feet scan offered several models, but after trying other fit matches, the 880's stood out as the clear winner. From a fashion perspective, I never liked wide looking toe boxes but running with this style, I can tell it evenly distributes my weighted impact more effectively and it helps against mis-steps. Paired these with the Currex high arch, dynamic insoles, and it worth every penny.
