Beware of variation in fit within the model
Already on my second pair of the women's 880 in 10.5 v15 narrow, I ordered the same model, same size, same year in a different color. The new one seems roomier than the old (which I'd worn for about two weeks when the new color came) and puts more pressure on my back, possibly as a result. I otherwise like the model. Still in recovery from back surgery earlier this year, I find the shoe the only foot gear I can wear right now.

Tight tongue across top of foot
The tongue has an elastic band on it that keeps the tongue in place. But it is Really tight. Needed to stretch it out because it’s way too tight
