Best Praise
+32 pts
880 is the Toyota Corolla of running shoes. There's nothing special about them, but you can run any distance and at any pace with them. They almost always work! In fact, Emily Sisson does most of her training in the 880s, not with carbon fiber shoes.

shoetubers say that the 1080 v13 is better (and lighter!!!) than the 880 v14. invest more 20$-25$ and buy the 1080 if you can.
