So.. what's the difference between 888 and 89? I've tried searching but I can't seem to find anything. Thanks.

The shape differences are pretty easy to see from pics (the pinned shoe gallery thread, for instance). From a sizing perspective, the 89 runs a little wider than the 888.

The 89 is a higher volume last, it fits a bit more loosely in general.
