The 876 shoe is being replaced by the NB 880tr shoe, which looks quite good. The 876 is a hiking shoe for me, with several features I like: good cushioning, ventilated well, decent looking, and excellent traction (NB shoes, even when rated for trail, tend not to have good traction), this shoe does have great traction however. I noticed the same annoying squeaking sound other reviewers mentioned. I even tried baby powder, as NB suggests, no luck. I ended up having to spray automotive silicone lube on the inside of the heel area of the shoe, where the insole sides in the heel area contacts the inner liner of the shoe- finally the squeaking stopped, but has required reapplication of the silicone lube. I'm using the NB IAS3720 arch support insole. The integrated tongue with the rest of the shoe is frankly annoying to me, makes the shoe a bit difficult to get in and out of, and affects the ability to have broad range in loosening the overall fit of the shoe- say when I wear thick wool socks. Overall I'm happy with this shoe, but the replacement model looks even better. My main need is great cushioning and traction and ventilation- and this shoe does these well. Ideally pronation control too- but the excellent IAS3720 arch support insole helps minimize pronation for my feet. I do hope NB comes out with a GoreTex version of the NB 880tr shoe- I think it will address a niche they are not currently meeting, and will likely sell well.

I have been a long time New Balance user. I started running in the 471's and have gradually moved up in performance shoes as I have added miles. Four weeks ago I purchased a pair of 876's from the New Balance Store. I was told that they would be more durable than the 814's that I had been using at the time. Right out of the box I loved the shoes. I run 35-40 miles a week, about 1/3 on trails and 2/3 on roads. I am very disappointed because I have only 146 mi on the shoes and the red part of the heel has completely worn down to the grey. I would have thought for the price I would have gotten more miles out of this shoe. I am forced to buy another model now because I don't want to be injured due to a broken down shoe.
