Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080 V15

I've ordered these 1080 shoes for years. Usually multiple colors per year. The 2025 versions so were soft, fit perfect, extra toe room, they were great. I usually size the 4E for more width and that's no longer available, only 2E. These (2026) v15's are comically small. I cant get over how much smaller these shoes are compared to the last couple of years. So you'll need to size up. If you order in wide widths you'll need to pass on this shoe; I think Id have to order a full size up and even then I question if the width would work. Im pretty disappointed because I loved the last two years versions. These are much lighter and I do like the upgrades on the style, but I cant even get my feet into my normal size. I mostly use these shoes for standing / walking for 8-9 hours a day at work (Personal Trainer) so cushioning and comfort are my main priority.

The NB 1080 has been my go to shoe for several years now. Hoverer the V15 has a significantly reduced toe box. So much that I can no longer comfortably use my custom orthotics. I don't think people who need a 4E width are going to be happy with the shoe. The shoe is much lighter with the new "infinion" midsole, but I didn't feel any enhanced cushioning New Balance claims to have. I immediately noticed the V15 to over pronated compared to version 14 or 13. It definitely is not a neutral shoe.

Horrible upgrade!
