New Balance “wide” used to be truly wide. Not so much any more.

I ordered these because the 990s had gotten so expensive. Bad idea. Poor stability. Raised outside parts of the footbed cut into the bottom of my foot. Limited room in toe box. Simply not a comfortable shoe for me

Look nice but seem a bit tight on my feet. Hopefully they stretch out a bit.

The green on the shoe is great but the shoelaces, tongue and part of the bottom of the shoe is blue which completely clashes and looks awful.

Perhaps it's me, but I walk a good deal & found both feet rather sore after a few days of good use of these shoes. They certainly look nice but the after effects have forced me to not use them, at least for a while, until I recover. The reviews suggested to me this wouldn't be an issue, which is why I say perhaps it's me. But if they did not show wear, I would have returned them.

I received this pair on a Thursday evening. I tried them on the same night. They were so small that I literally could not get my whole foot into the shoe. I returned them Friday morning. 'Nuff said? What in the world has happened to New Balance quality control?

the heel tab is covered with a fabric that is very rough you must wear the shoes with a heavy sock. you cannot wear them without wearing socks. other than the heel tab the over all comfort is perfect good support, cushioning and holds your foot in place. I use this shoe for walking.

These shoes are way over-built and almost felt like boots. Tried to walk around the house to get comfortable, but no luck. Even woke up with tender spots on one foot even though the size fit was perfect. Ordered Asics Nimbus Gel 23s at the same and they came today. COMPLETE LOVE AT FIRST STEP!!! Bye-bye New Balance 880s.

They send me the wrong shoes and I had to pay to send them back. Plus they did not refund my initial shipping cost.

My son only wears New Balance because he requires a 4E width. This newest pair is wide enough but not thick enough. He was so uncomfortable in them. I compared them to his current shoes and there is a huge difference in the amount of room in the shoes. I am not sure what to do as his school requires all black shoe and sole. Now I'm afraid to order anything from New Balance.

This shoe has a horrible upper/vamp. Even loosely tied, this shoe caused immediate discomfort and pain within half an hour of wearing. The shoe fits true to size it seems, but it crushes my left big toe bones/extensor tendons. Bought a pair of Brooks, same size, NO ISSUES. Do not recommend this shoe for people who need a taller/wider toe box and vamp.

Did not fit according to a previous NB shoe we had. Return was accepted on June 17 by NB. Still waiting for refund.

There are only two good things about this shoe, the way it fits and their looks. Beyond that they are a waste of money! I purchased a pair of 880 V11s on May 11, 2022 and received them in a fairly timely manner. I've been a loyal Brooks buyer for more than 18 years, but I wasn't fond of the way their new styles looked. So I figured I'd give NB a try, I'm a big guy, but have a neutral gate, so I figured these 880s would be a good fit. These shoes were only good for the first day I wore them. I work part time at a local retail sporting goods store a few times a week and the EVA soles only held up for my first 6 hour shift. After that they were compressed and started squeaking as I walk. I've worn them a few times since, as they are the only athletic shoe I have at the moment, and they leave my feet sore for days. I wish I could get a refund, but I'm sure that's not going to happen. Do yourself a favor and steer clear. I would recommend these to my worst enemy.

Bought these shoes for my teenage son and while they fit great and were really comfy they bottom of the shoe started to come apart. Very disappointed in the quality. I bought two different colors and it happened to both shoes. This one started after a week and the other one a month after getting them.

While the shoes fit my teenage son great the quality was bad. He has always wore New Balance and has never had an issue. Less than one month of having these shoes the sole on the bottom of the shoe was coming off. So we thought it was a fluke and bought another pair and had the same issue. Very disappointed in these shoes.

I bought these sneakers like 6 month ago and less than 5 months later they got ripped out. For the record, I didn't wear them everyday and because of my busy schedule I could only find time now to report it. It has been almost 2 month since they got ripped out and I stopped wearing them. I uploaded the pictures. I didn't expect the quality to be that poor. When I bought it also had a warranty. I hope they will read this comment and exchange these sneakers with a new one.

No support what's so ever. Knees and joints are killing me because NB sells for the name, not the quality. Look elsewhere.

I wear a 4E. I have worn many brands, New Balance being one of my favorites for their 4E options. These were easily the most narrow 4E shoes I have ever worn. My foot hung over on both sides of the toe box. I actually looked at both shoes to make sure they were 4E and not D widths. I had to send them back. This is the 2nd style of New Balance that this has happened to me now. New Balance, please start making your 4E shoes as you have in the past... wide.

The quality of NB has suffered over the last 3-5 years. My pair of 880s seem to be made out of cheesecloth for all of the durability they have shown.

I’ve bought New Balance shoes several times over the years and this is the first time they started falling apart less than three months after I bought them. Really disappointed.

Bought a pair for work and the plastic on the heal is shattered and cuts my heal and rips socks. Pretty Disappointing considering the price of the shoes.
