I have been a faithful customer for New Balance for many years. For the most part I am quite satisfied with the shoes. The delivery time has also been good. However, I get a notice of a 10% discount and then am told that my shoe is not qualified when I place the order. It has happened several times. So I am at the point of looking for another shoe company that could meet my needs. I get frustrated with the bait and switch game. Not nice.

These are perfect for strength training and HIIT workouts. They have more support in the toes compared to running shoes. I have wide feet so sized up to 9.5. They do fit narrow and snug. I had to loosen the laces all the way to make them work. Now they feel great!

Sorry I had to return
Great looking and very supportive. Just a bit tight in the toes.

I love the 880v11 style. But I had to return for a bigger size which meant additional toe room. They are quite comfortable just as my podiatrist recommended. I just wish he tie was a tad more narrow. Not a deal breaker, my favorite sneakers! For reference, I typically take size 9 or 9 1/2, returned for the size 10.

Walking mainly, I did notice that whoever put this shoe together put on the wrong size shoelaces, they are too long I have to double knot them.

These sneakers are so comfortable, soft and provide the perfect amount of bounce when you need it! Good toe space. Wish they had a little more arch support but definitely not a deal breaker. Love them!!

This fits differently with a feeling of support in the heel and ball of the foot but not uniformly throughout the shoe bed...I'm getting used to them but they are very different from my last pair of the equivalent shoe...

They are a little tight compared to my last ones. After wear they have stretched a bit so not as form fittting. Nice colours

This runs narrower than my other new balance. Both are wide width.
This was not a very cushioned shoe, so exchanging for 1080 or fresh foam more.

I usually wear a size 9 in New Balance sneakers but based upon reviews I ordered a half size larger and they were still too short.

Perfect fit around my EE, high-volume foot: snug in the heel, nice and roomy in the ball, not too tall on the top. A little heavier weight than I prefer, but it's easy enough to forget about it once I've gotten going.
However, I'm between a 7.5 and 8 (closer to 7.5) and when I got the 8 I only had maybe 1/8 of an inch of space between my toe and the end of the shoe. Given how there are a lot of elevation changes in my usual running routes I decided that that wouldn't be enough. I opted for an 8.5, which turned out to be much better. It's very comfy now, and it makes my stride feel quite bouncy.

They are comfortable but need them wider. I like them very much.

I wear these sneakers every day . I stand a lot at work. They are a little snug in the toe for me . I have planter fasciitis and they are comfortable in the heal for the amount of standing that I do daily . I have always bought new balance and always wear the same size.

I'm sure this is a nice shoe however I have always had trouble with finding a shoe that fits. I need a wide shoe in a 7.5 but this shoe was too short. I am about to return the 8 because I am swimming in it. It's too long and the toe box it extra wide. I had 880v8 and the 7.5 fit fine. No luck this time around.

I use the shoe for indoor aerobic activities; I use the same shoe, in a different color, for outdoor aerobic/general activities.The shoes both work nicely with my orthotic inserts, and the wide size allows comfort for my bunions--especially a prominent one on the left foot. My left ankle has osteoarthritis, and the shoe is a good fit for that issue, also. I had hoped the gray shoe with the contrasting colors on the outside would be more visually appealing, and not so boxy looking as my all black version. I have NB Fresh Foam Lav Tennis shoes in various colors that effectively employ this visual appearance--even though the NB Fresh Foam Lav for tennis has changed its construction to the effect that I cannot wear the new version--which is too painful and harsh on my upper foot. As many reviewers have stated, when you have a good shoe, DON'T change the construction!

Comfortable sneaker one I got the right size and width. The definitely run small all around. I normally wear a 9.5 normal width. Had to order size 10 wide to get a sneaker that fit

While walk/jogging I accidentally stepped on a 2" bolt which lodged in my foot - thankfully only 1/2". Was surprised how easily the bolt punctured the foam. I have been a NB customer for over 25 years - they are one of the only running shoes I can find in Narrow. Wish they offered greater selection of colors

I initially reviewed this a little while ago and was so happy to find a fit that I thought worked for my wedge-shaped feet. I had also tried the 1080s but of the two, this was the better and firmer (more responsive) fit overall. I did have to order a 1/2 size up and a D width to accommodate my splaying right foot and found this version of NB to fit "almost" right. I don't usually buy NB because they have run narrow in the past and have relied on Hoka Bondi and Brooks Addictions for many years to get me out and about. I was introduced to Topos recently at my local running store and they have now become my newest go-to brand. The rounded, wide toe box but narrow heel make my feet so much happier and made apparent that even this version of NB was still a bit too narrow for that right baby toe! Shoe buying has become more frustrating and problematic for me right now with these changing "duck feet" of mine so thank goodness for Zappos and all that they offer!
I'd also recommend:
Topo, some styles of Ecco, Wolky, and Teva

I have worn a 8-1/2 M size in New Balance for years. It took three tries to find a good fit this time. After trying two different styles and two widths, size 9 Narrow was the perfect fit.

I walk several times a week and now own three pairs of these Fresh Foams. I love how supportive and comfy they are. This latest pair is a little shorter than the others.
