Greetings Helen, thank you for the helpful review. I am going to be moving to Thailand to train for several months. I usually wear vivo barefoot shoes for training and due to stepping my training level and frequency up significantly, I'm looking for a wide foor breathable cross training shoe to invest in. I tried these on in store, they certainly were wide and my foot felt free. I'm just wondering now about the breathability as you mentioned as thailand is very humid. I believe my main training is going to be weights, walking and some mobility/agility training. Do many shoes are far to narrow for me, hence being pleasantly suprised by the width on these, I did have to size up a full size. Any suggestions, would be much appreciated thank you.

@pirate_sorella3594 Hi! If these fit you in the wide and your feet felt free when you tried them on, I’d stick with them and make sure you have some thin, sweat-wicking socks on.
Have a great time in Thailand!

Hi Helen, thank you for reviewing 880. It is very useful and informative. Which one do you prefer more? 880 v14 vs rebel 4. What if i am looking for shoes as walking long distance.. which will be better?

[@trailandkale]

Hi Lu, I’m glad you found it helpful! For long distance walking I would go for the 880 v14 over the Rebel 4

[@lumeizhen3656]

@@trailandkale Thanks for the prompt response. Btw, have u try on cloudrunner 2? I was wondering if is good.

[@trailandkale]

I haven’t, but as another trainer to look at that’s good for walking is the HOKA Arahi 7: www.trailandkale.com/gear/hoka-arahi-7-video-review/
