Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam 880v11

My foot width is between a medium and a wide and I like a tight fit on my feet, and initially I wasn't sure about the Fresh Foam shoes. I was a little concerned as New Balance seems to change styles on a regular basis and once I find a pair that I like I typically reorder them when I replace my worn out shoes. However I've been pleased thus far with this style of shoe.

Ordered on-line. Fit is good. Comfortable. Great looks. Not sure of long term as they look and feel like the sketchers I bought a few years ago. I think my toes will punch through the top quickly. Bought to replace a great pair of 990V4s that were really great shoes.

These are good everyday stanby training shoes for feet that don't need extra stability. Nothing fancy, nothing cutting edge. Decent cushion and durable. Good price. The biggest concern I've had with the five pairs I've used in the last two or so years is that the width sizing has not been consistent. I alternate between two pairs for my runs and I definitely noticed a definite difference in the width of the second and third pair; enough that I wore different socks depending on which pair I was using. The last two pair did not have this issue, but their width was between the widths of the prior two pairs. I have read that the sizing for version 12 is different than that of the 11s I've been using. Only other minor issue I've had is that the inside fabric over the heel counters are not as durable as the rest of the shoe. This has never caused any problems for me, e.g. no blisters, but it was somewhat concerning.

Great shoe. Toe box could be a little bit wider for digits without sacrificing the overall width of fit. Need to offer MORE color options in larger sizes! Mine being a 16B.

The shoe is nice. I would like to see more 4E widths in more colors.

I have not yet exercised in them but from the reviews I have just read, I should have purchased the new 880v12. The online ordering process was easy and flawless and the delivery very timely. Hopefully my experience with the 880v11 will be as satisfying as I stepped down from the 1080 model.

Love these sneakers and the brand but it's getting too expensive

I like this model, it has extra wide options to fit my feet... But this 800v11 in Blue (my only available selection in my size when ordering online) did not fit as comfortably as a previous buy that was in Grey. Once again, New Balance "fit" varies for the same model based on the "color" that the style is bought in. It is still best to try before you buy, or to return until you really get your fit in your size AND style.

I use these for everyday shoes, they are a great fit, as I have owned a pair before. the only gripe I have is the way the tongue always works its way off to the side. Probably a QC issue. You would think that paying this much for a pair of running shoes you would not have this problem. Would be Five Star otherwise.

This is my third pair of the same sneakers. Not by accident. They are comfortable, supportive, and well cushioned. I decided to go crazy with the color scheme this time and get them in yellow and blue the colors of Ukraine. I think the tongue could be a little tiny bit wider as the laces sometimes dig into your feet if the tongue is not centered perfectly. They are an excellent walking and running shoe and one that I will buy again.

I've bought many previous versions of the 880 and they have been great! This version, however, fits a little smaller, perhaps due to the change in the reinforced toe area. My next pair will move from a 14 up to a 15 to get the previous comfort level. Still a great running shoe!!

The only shoe that I can run with given my wide feet. Unfortunately limited color options in the 4W size.

This model is a bit shorter and tighter than other new balance models I have used. Good quality used daily for workout and general wear.

Great cushion, lightweight, good grip, comfortable and the colors are outstanding

I walk approximately 3.5 miles a day. I bought these shoes to try since I need to replace my worn out 1080"s bought several years ago. These Men's size 7D shoes fit very well. They are comfortable but could really use an innersole with a bit more cushioning. The old 1080"s still have more cushioning than these do. I would love to know if New Balance sells an innersole that provides more cushioning that would fit these shoes. These fit so well it would be worth it to be able to buy a set and put them in the shoes in place of the ones the shoes come with.

I have narrow feet. Weird arches. My knees and ankles always hurt. Until I started wearing New Balance on a regular basis.

Order 1/2 to full size up. I've been wearing the same size for 10+ years in this shoe until now. Great shoe but just small.

Even with new balance help last few orders I could not get a valid promo code to work. Spent more than enough time on chat and dealing with new balance website. I am no longer ever going to support your company. Your just as corrupt as this world take take take. The money you charged me for two pairs of footwear is grossly over what u pay to make these and the built in barriers your company has builtt into any promo code use is designed to frustrate and weaker humans will just spend their hard earned energy (money). Cabal.

I'm heavy with big feet, so I need a shoe that's wide enough and can take a pounding. Got these in an 11 2E and they're just right. My only criticism is that my big toes tend to wear holes in these shoes seems to be a common problem with most mesh sneakers, but manufacturers won't take the extra step of reinforcing the toe box. Oh well.,,

These shoes were tight in the fit. I went to a store and they fit perfectly.

These are the most comfortable shoes in town. I was tempted to buy New Balance shoes by "we miss you" emails offering 10 and 25 percent discounts. Turns out the discounts did not apply to any of the shoes for which I had any interest.

I have bought these ones already. These are the 2nd time. We'll be buying it again at 3rd time in 6 months!
