New Balance

Fresh Foam X 1080v13

Men's

I purchased these as an “upgrade” to my 860’s. It was time to get new shoes, so I went with these in a wider size (14 4E vs. 14 2E). I read some reviews prior to purchasing, most of which were positive. One concern I saw in the reviews is that the shoe really isn’t a “stability” shoe; it doesn’t have any specific anti-roll tech. As a bigger guy (6’2”, 240), I was a little concerned about not having stability tech, as I have had this in most of the athletic shoes I’ve purchased over the years. However, the shoes turned out to be really good. What I have noticed with some “stability” shoes is that they work better for people who have moderate to severe pronation issues (feet roll IN when you step). They’re not too great for those of us who supinate (feet roll OUT when you step), especially on uneven surfaces. I think if you have a fairly normal stride and step - even if you have a little bit of pronation or supination - these shoes will work well for you, especially if you’re walking or running on an even surface. They have great cushioning and good support. I recommend them. Cheers!

Plushest 1080 yet, and a welcome return to 1080 sizing prior to the v12s. The v13 is wider than the v12, especially in the forefoot and toe box. Wore an 8 4E in the v12s, but an 8 2E in the v13. Have worn 8 2E in 1080s since I started wearing them in v8 after switching from ASICS. Average running 20 miles/week. Glad Zappos finally got the 1080 v13s, and happy to see new colors being introduced as well.

I've been buying the 1080 series for years now. It is all I wear for sneakers. I always have 1 pair that is well worn and used for everyday use + another pair that is new, clean, and for nicer occasions. Always buy the same size. This time was my first purchase of the version 13 and they were too small for my feet. Feels like NB changed their size definition or something. They were at least a half size too small. Maybe closer to a full size.

I'm looking for a casual walking/hiking shoe that becomes a comfortable extension of my feet for stability and balance. This is an excellent shoe. For me it's a comfortable shoe but with too much sponginess in the heel.

True fit width and size. I wear a 4E so Igood looking and feeling shoes are much harder to find. I do like NB shoes for look, comfort, and fit.
