I used to love the 880s but no more. A recent purchase hurts my feet. They run horribly small and narrow. Afraid to order a larger size - probably will still hurt. They are just too narrow.

I used to love these shoes. I had been running in them for years and would buy a new pair when needed. I just recently ordered a new pair and they were smaller then normal, so I returned them and had to go a full size bigger then normal. I ran in them for a week and they are just awful. I don't know what they changed but they are uncomfortable, my feet hurt and running feels like torture. I'm so sad cause I use to love these shoes. Going with a different brand now and hopefully I can find a new shoe I can run in. Disappointed

I wear an 8/12-9 depending on the shoe. Bought the 880 in 9M, and my toe was crammed hard against the front. The toe box is very flat. And I'm not kidding, they were so tight that my feet were throbbing after 30 minutes of wear in the house. They're also not as cushioned as I expectedthey're pretty firm.
This was my firstand definitely my lastexperience with New Balance.

I love the bright orange color but something about these shoes was biomechanically very bad for me so I am returning them. They seem to lack support inside. I irritated my knee after wearing them on my usual long walks for about 1.5 weeks. I wear a 9.5 and have very narrow flat feet.

They were too small even though they were same size as my others. Very uncomfortable even if they were long enough. I returned them a couple weeks ago and still haven't received a confirmation for refund.

I have several of this particular style and LOVE them. I have orthotics that fit effortlessly into them and I can walk, recreate, and exercise in them with ease and joy. This last pair causes my foot to rub up against the top of the shoe. My foot bulges out of the top. I bought the same size, width, and style number. I was so sureI recycled the box and its contents before wearing them. Now I am stuck with a pair of shoes that look great, hurt my feetand will never wear.

These shoes are my usual size and width for athletic shoes I purchase from Zappos. But they are just too small. I will be returning and ordering a larger size. Zappos remains my go-to for shoes that accommodate my very wide feet.

I returned these. But I have yet to receive any notification of a refundeven after emailing Customer Service. So. While I do love NB sneakers and running shoes I'm a little disappointed with the customer service.

I have had two other pairs of this same style of shoe. I was wearing a 9 1/2 in them. Ordered same color, same style in a 9 1/2 and they are too short. Very disappointed. Oddly, box is a plain brown box with only a barcode on the end, no style, size or color listed. Never had this happen before either. Too strange!!

I have returned these shoes. I have two pairs in other colors, but these did not fit as the others did. The toe box was two narrow.

I really want to like the shoes. I really do, after all I spent upwards of $100 on them and this is one of the few brands that offers extra wides. However, every time I run in them no matter how I tie the laces my feet go numb. The padding and cushioning is not where I want or need it to be. I have run around 10 mi in these shoes and have worn them for long periods of time and even when wearing them around I feel places in the sole that just don't feel padded. When I run, at about 3 laps my toes start to tingle and swell up. I was hoping this was a thing that would get better with breaking them in but it hasn't really cleared up.

Worn 880s for years. Fit is different with the fresh foam design. Do not fit as well. Will switch to a new sneaker.

I love the colors and style of the shoes, black and white. I ordered Wide for the width and the shoes are so tight! Kills my right foot! I verified I ordered wide. I can't even stretch them out. Unfortunately I wore them and I can't return them. I'll go back to Sketchers wide.

You sent me a women’s 10.5 instead of a men’s. Obviously it didn’t fit. When I called today to facilitate an exchange, it turns out you were out of stock in the mens. So I have to return it and look elsewhere.

This iteration has a nice upper but that’s it. The elf heel is stiff and high and the heel collar is like a rock. Have ankle skin irritation just from wearing in the house. The toe box is too narrow. New Balance was my 15 year go to - now it’s back to square one.

What did NB do? I always order the same shoe size 10, and I log in and Zappos is recommending to me to order a 10.5 instead? I order 10 just as I always do, and they are too small. So frustrating. The toe box is narrower and they are definitely shorter. Sad that a design change made the shoe size unreliable. This is why I normally buy men's shoes for the larger toe box, and NB had to change the women's design again. Upsetting for someone who has bought NB shoes for years now. A design change should not make a brand untrustworthy. I did return the 10s.
