I ordered this shoe knowing I would probably have to snug it up with a tongue pad or an extra pad underneath the removable footbed.. The narrowest width in athletic shoes is usually "Narrow," and I take a "Slim" or "Super Slim." With some custom fitting on my part, they snug up just fine. These fit as expected with a tongue pad and an athletic sock. Love the grey color with the turquoise and lime trim. I am generally satisfied with New Balance.

I have been wearing 880 sneakers for a long time because they hold orthotics well and prevent fatigue. I wanted to try a new color so I ordered "Arctic fox with uv glo" and they are white with blue trim. They look great, but I was expecting a gray shoe based on the photo on the website.

Great shoes with nice fit and good color. The heal rubbed a bit at first but better now.

I've purchased 2 pair of these. Love the feel of footbed and great to walk in. However, they are too short. Thought it was my toenails, but it wasn't. I'll need to order 1/2 size up.

Comfortable shoe. I should have read other reviews. It definitely runs small. I had to return for a half size up.

Like the style and colors of this shoe. Usually wear 8-1/2 in New Balance, this shoe was ok in the length but felt a little snug in the width. I keeping them, I think with a little wear they will loosen up.

The Fresh Foam appears to be a well made shoe for the price, they were simply a bit too small for my changing feet.

I had read that this 880 (the v11) ran short, so I ordered 9.5, instead of my usual 9, and that's worked out well. Some reviewers mentioned the width also ran small; however, I'd say the width I ordered (double wide) is a bit much for me. I'm keeping them, though and wearing them, but put in some New Balance inserts and wear thicker socks. Otherwise, if you can get the size right, these are great - comfort and style. I like the black with white soles and a little subtle white trim.

The fit is okay. I would not say "perfect", but okay. I don't think the sizes nowadays on any shoes are accurate. I wish the industry would go back to standardized sizes. I ordered two 13 narrow, different brands, both sneakers. Definitely not the same size. I had to send one pair back.

I take a 7WW and these scrunched my toes only a tiny bit at first but feel better after wearing them for a day. I loved the Fresh Foam 1080v9 and was so disappointed that the Fresh Foam 1080v10 were too narrow. These feel comparable to the 1080v9s, not as foamy but a good second to them. I was hesitant about trying Fresh Foam sneakers but I love the cushion without losing any support.

Overall I loved this shoe. I ordered my normal size (9) and found them too short and narrow. I ordered a half size bigger (9.5) and they still felt too narrow. Sent them back. They would be great if you can get sizing right. For comparison I also have NB 1080 in a 9 and they fit awesome!

I should have gone in person. My podiatrist gave my size info. For some reason, these shoes are too tight on one foot. I should have gone a size up. I wore them so it was too late to return. Due to the size issue, they didn't feel comfortable. They're okay for short walks but I had to stop wearing them in Disney, which is why I bought them. Will buy in person next time.

I like NB because they are usually comfortable right out of the box. I need new shoes for my new job so I went with these.. Very Very Disappointed that they were at least a 1/3 size shorter than my other NB size 9 shoe. I wear -- they both say size 9 but you compare them side-by-side and sole to sole. These are shorter making them somewhat uncomfortable but I needed them for my job so I have to live with sore toes.

I would like to get my shoes checked for size. I have worn an 8 1/2 N for years and in the 880 series, but lately they appear short and my toe is at the end of the shoe. I went back to have them checked at the South Coast Plaza store in Costa Mesa, CA but it was closed. Any suggestions where I might go or when this store will reopen?

I have worn some version of the 880s for probably five years now and I always wear a size 8. My 880 v11s that I bought in October need replaced and I LOVED the mango color in the v11 so I was able to replace my size 8 v11 with a size 8 v11- or so I thought. The mango color pair are a half size too small when tried them on. Same version and style of shoe just a different color. I have to send them back and I cannot find a size 8.5 in the mango color anywhere. I'm so disappointed. I ordered an 8 in a different color and I'm crossing my fingers that it was just a fluke that the mango was mislabeled.
