Joe's New Balance Outlet has a 25% off deal, with 1080v11 and 880v11 being included in the promos for the first time. Most sizes are available, wide widths included, but not in all colors
I've personally worn the 880v11 (550 miles, first 400 miles running, last 150 walking) and the Vongo v5 (100 miles, stability version of the 1080v11). Also been wearing Fresh Foam More v3 (150 miles, think 1080s but even more foam):
Some thoughts:
- I'm a 9.5 wide and the 880v11 fit very well. Just a very solid all around daily trainer shoe, the Fresh Foam is soft and bouncy, but you get some ground feel on this shoe because of the lower stack height in the forefoot (18mm if I recall correctly). This is the "safe" shoe as I think it is the jack of all trades, but master of none. Would work well as a walking shoe. Oh, and it's built like a tank there's so much rubber on the outsole that it still seems to not be super worn after 550 miles
- 1080v11: personally have not worn this shoe, but there are some people out there who really hate the heel counter on this shoe, so beware. The newer v12 and the stability version Vongo v5 have a more standard heel. Lots of foam underfoot (but less than the More v3), so I'm assuming it will be a nice, cushy ride.
No coupon code. 25% off shows in cart. Nice deal.
Just FYI no free returns.

880 is hands down the best running shoes I've ever worn. I reach for them over my hokas Mach 5 and sauconys ride 14. They've single-handedly helped me stick to running this year and I'm lazy af
I've had these 880s for several months. Like them a lot except for one big issue - mine make a loud popping noise with every step. It's really loud on hard surfaces. Did anyone else have this problem or are mine just defective?

In for one especially when wide is available. I wear 880v10 and brooks ghost. Both of them qualify under top category running shoes and super comfortable for me.

Adding on to this a bit. I have a high instep w/ wide feet and the 880s fit like a dream. The 1080v11s are a little bit more comfortable when running, but they also connect the tongue to the sole of the shoe via a thick elastic/neoprene band. If I had a normal instep, it would probably help it feel a little more snug, but with my thick foot it ends up eating into me unless I tie the shoes very loose which isn't ideal for running. I ended up cutting the elastic out for a much more comfortable fit, but would just get another pair of 880s over having to self alter the 1080s
Are these neutral, stability, etc? Can anyone help? Recently switched to Hoka Arahi and love them but for this price would buy a pair of they're stability's.

I was able to get the 860s for $59 a pair shipped!
