My husband and I have used the 878s for many, many years and though we've tried outhers, we've never found a more comfortable shoe for running. Each time we need to reorder, we cross our fingers, hoping hoping RR Sports is still carrying them. We can't find them anywhere else, so please don't disco...

I have been running in this shoe for a decade. It is the only shoe that I have found that I can run pain free in. I hope that New Balance keeps this shoe in their inventory, as without it my fitness regime just might crash!

I've been running in this shoe--and its previous generations--literally problem-free for more than 20 years, but thought I would advance to a more sophisticated and pricier NB shoe. With the amount of running I do, I thought, why not try something better? I did try a pair of NB 881...problems occur...

Rated those made in USA 5 stars,but still ok made in China. Much stiffer and causes heel blisters and sock wear out due to liner at heel top too hard.

I've been running in these for over 7 years now. Injury free and very happy. I keep wondering if I'm missing something with more modern shoes, but why stary when you've found something this good!

Iam on my 14th pair of 878. I like the slightly roomier fit, the cushioning and they last. The only place I find them is RRS and I am not looking forward to when you can no longer get them.

I have run in these for 5 years and have tried the 879 and 880. Neither come close to the comfort and durability of the 878. Please continue to offer this model. I can't find it anywhere else.

I would have given the USA made 878 5 stars - but they seem a little more rigid since the construction of these shoes shifted to China. Still an OK shoe.

I tried to order two more pair, but you no longer have my size (9-2E). I typically run 30 mi/week and alternating 2 pair lasts me a year. The upgraded NBs are not nearly as good as the 878s. Please try to keep these in stock.

i weigh 250 and have been wearing this shoe since 1999. what a wonderful fit! i love wearing them anywhere but especially when i am running. They last a long time and are pretty light as well. highly recommended. . .

I am a raving fan of New Balance. The 878's are one of the most comfortable shoes that I have ever had the pleasure of wearing. I'm on my 5th pair now and was disappointed to learn this past Sunday that RRS was out of my size. I was prepared to purchase another 2-3 pair. Can we expect any more?

Still a pretty good shoe - but not as good as when they were made here in the USA - shoe seems less forgiving since being made in China.
