I ordered my normal size 10 2E, but these seem to be narrower than other 2E shoes I have purchased. Hopefully they will stretch.

I always get a 12B, which are hard to find. Usually the model/make I get from New Balance are perfect, but the 880v11 is too tight.

Shoe ok, nothing special and NB again manages to make every shoe fit and feel a little bit differentcan't count on consistency.

Not the same as my previous 880s. Did not feel like a good running shoe for me so I returned it.

Fit & size is good. Like the wide width choices. I replaced the insoles with my own orthotics as the insole that comes in the shoe does not have enough arch support for my needs. I have exercised regularly while wearing them.
I'd also recommend:
None for this type of shoe that I use for running.

These are nice shoes. I really like the cushion of the Fresh Foam. I had an older version of these shoes that I really liked. The toe box on these is narrower and pinches the toes. A bit of a disappointment.

Sadly, I wasn’t able to keep the shoes. I love the color! But I have been wearing a 990v5 and need the support, and these were just far too mushy for me. So I had to send them back.

The fit runs a little smaller than most other shoes I've ran in. I'm a solid 9 in ASICS, Nike and Adidas running shoes, but these are snug. I was hoping I'd break them in but all I've done is turn my toe nails black and hurt my feet. Lovely weight and design. I just needed a bigger size.

I like the shoes. They are a little bit tighter than previous pairs of New Balance shoes I've purchased. I order a slightly wider width and these felt tighter than normal.

I only purchased this online because the local factory store informed me that they could not order it. I wanted to compare the color to another NB shoe I had purchased which was listed as having the same color. The color intensity was not what I desired - not as intense as the other shoe - so I returned them.

I've worn 880v11 size 14 before and they ran true size. Bought a new pair and after wearing for a day came to realize they don't fit the same my toe rubs the end of the shoe.

I bought the shoe after internet reviewers had recommended it as a shoe with a wide toe box. It's a nice enough shoe. But it's not that.
Since I don't wear the shoe, I can't give it a four star review, but it's not fair to give a bad review on this basis either. So have three stars.

Just use the shoes for walking. Nice visual design on the shoes, but not very comfortable at all for it being in your "Fresh Foam" series of shoes. Wouldn't buy them again.

880 V10 had a nice heel cup for stability, then 880 V11 they took some of it away, now the 880 V12 has no heel cup stability. NB continues to take away the support at the heel. They did it with the 1080 V7 up the line and why I switched to the 880 model, but give NB time and they will screw it up, ugh! Very disappointed. I'm an Athletic Trainer and Physical Therapist Assistant and I refer a lot of patients needing support like this but I'm growing more frustrated with NB. Back to Brooks I go I guess

I have bought several pairs of the 880s over the last 3 years, as I look for NBs that are available in (B) Narrow.
Generally, they have not disappointed, for daily/work use and for jogging.
This last pair was my first time buying the Black [M880L-B] style. I bought the Grey/Lime before.
Within a month or two, the 'N' on the inside of one shoe was fully loose, as if the glue had been very sparingly applied. I ended up pulling it off.
Shoe overall quality fine.
Cosmetic 'N' falls off, shoe doesn't look as good/new.

I'm keeping the shoes (Men's size 10 narrow) because they are generally comfortable but the length is not significantly different from the 9½. I bought these hoping for a little more room in the toe box and I'd say it is marginally more, but not a lot. Like a ¼". I'll probably try a 10½ next time.

Still trying to break them in I guess. Rubbing up against my ankle bone, making them not very comfortable.

I loved Zante. The stretch mesh allowed me to have a comfortable fit. Sadly, they are not available anymore and without that type of top these are to loose for me. I have wide feet but low volume.

Normally a 12, NB typically runs short so a 13 works. These felt comfortable when tried on, but realized quickly they run small and wider than normal. Maybe it was just this pair, idk, but had to return them. Great color and style though!

The show is different than my last pair. On my old shoes, the outside of the heal is larger which give it more support when I walk.
The new shoes do not have this, but it appears to be same model.

Nice shoes BUT they are at least a half size smaller now. The wide feels like a standard width. The sole is even narrower than this same model shoe was 4 months ago. I'm now returning a second pair of these and don't know how to figure out my sizing. I've been a New Balance fan for years and have never had this problem before.

Purchased a size 10 which is normally the size that I wear and this pair was too short and had to return them. I will say that the return process went smoothly.
