Different shoe
I have a pair of these from last year just a different color and my old ones don’t bother my bunion but here new ones have a shorter height to them and were really tight around my bunion. Very disappointed. Love the look and color. Had to return.

Great shoes, great service.
We went to our local Fleet Feet to buy my new shoes. I was able to try them to determine size, but did not like the color that was available. The sales person helped me order a better color. I wish this style came in better colors. The color combos are so boring. In my exercise class the brighter the better!! Thank you!!

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.
