Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam 880v11

I have worn New Balance for 15+ years. I have a narrow foot and they were always the best fit and support. The last pair I bought several years ago and they cause a strain against my instep hurting my back and causing foot cramps. This latest pair does not offer the same support and the fabric has rubbed all around the top. I am a 10N in shoes, an 11N in New Balance and this new one is 11 1/2 N

i tried these on in the store and ordered the same ones (according to model number) in a different color. the ones i received felt kinda tight in the toe box. i ALWAYS wear a 9-9.5 in all shoes and the 9.5 fit perfectly with good toe room in the store. the shoes i received are not as comfy as the ones in the store. i should have sent them back but i thought they would loosen up. wrong! now i'm stuck with them.

I thought he previous versions provided more cushioning and were more comfortable. Not sure why the changes, not for better.

The color and style are great. A great improvement in that respect. But I felt that the shoe was going to slide off my foot from the back. They also bothered me. I have a pair of 880s, v 10 and they feel great.

Do not like product, was unable to return. Shoes fit strangely. usually have a good experience with new balance, but in these i feel like my toe goes off the sole toward the inner edge.

There is nothing wrong with these shoes. My issue is I don't think there's anything spectacular about them either. I've been wearing New Balance Shoes for years and I justify the price with the quality.

Walking pup, approximately 60 miles total since purchase several weeks ago, averaging a mile in morning and a mile in evening, foam already provides very little cushioning. Shoe looks great, performs poorly overall.

Ok so I wore 1080s for a long time. I had to switch to 880 but u have started to make them narrower. Is there anyway u can bring back the original 1080. U provide the best cushion In the biz but u changed the heel. Don't copy nike. Pls do ur own thing and keep loyal customers the way you used to.

Usually like the 880 for woman. Good cushion and stability but this version seems to run small. Getting some blisters; should go up a half size.

Barely have mileage on thempractically brand new & the inside heal material is already wearing making a hole. Very disappointed for an expensive running shoe.

I have been wearing 880's with Fresh Foam for over 8 years and love them; I was disappointed by the 880 V 11's because the shoe seems shorter than the V10's. In addition the fresh foam insoles didn't feel as cushioned as the V10's.

This is the *only* athletic shoe that I've ever been able to wear comfortably. I have metatarsal adductus, Achilles tendinitis and plantar fasciitis and the previous 880s coupled with the NB 3020 insole were the perfect solution to my foot pain. The stability bar is the secret! My last pair are very worn so I ordered the same size/width in the Fresh Foam 880v11. I was mega excited to get them as I'd been wearing much hyped Hokas that had zero stability. This caused my feet to over pronate - which all of my previous 880s stopped from happening. I was very disappointed when I got my new 880s and found that 1) they are not sized the same as previous 880s - they are almost 1/2" shorter in length 2) They are also not the same width as previous 880s - The wides now fit like a regular width and 3) the fit of the shoe from bottom of foot to top of foot is far less deep, making use of my 3020 insoles painful to the top of my feet. I had not warn them off of the carpet in my living room at all but after a week I knew I could not use them. The fit is a 7 regular despite the size stated being a 7.5 wide. I've sent back the two pair that I bought in that size. I wore the 7.5 x-wides off of the carpet but they are still too short and, therefore, very uncomfortable. I'm *now* ordering a size 8 x-wide and hoping that they will fit properly because my poor feet are killing me and I can't live in my Birkenstocks forever. In summation, go up a half a size and a width and you should be ok. The depth issue haven't found a solution for that yet as it seems NB has discontinued their insole offerings. Very disappointing all around. I'll update when I get the 8 x-wides.

I wore the 880V8 and 88V9 for years but since they stopped making them I gave these a try nothing like the older models. I wish they would bring back the V9

I've owned many pairs of 880s but this one seemed to run short and narrow. Tried to adjust laces but toes still felt cramped.

Was definitely not the color it said it was.. So not happy with them

The good: great support and cushion The bad: the toe box cuts off in a straight line, which is weird, so you have to size up. I thought I could stretch them out, so I wore them out, and now I can't return them. Disappointed.

I had a previous version of these shoes and they were great. The new version is more narrow in the toe box. I can walk in them but get blisters when I run.
