Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam 1080v8

I recently purchased these in black. I like the crisp contrast between the upper and bright white sides--really sharp and clean looking. This model has been my go-to workout shoe for several years--the fit and comfort are excellent for me. I wear a size 8.5 or 9M shoe, and always get these in 9M.

I had midsection bone fashion on my foot 6 months ago and these fit very good. I usually wear a 91/2 so bought a 10 because I felt I might need a little extra room. They feel very comfortable.

As a nurse I am on my feet all day. I was looking for a comfortable yet stylish shoe for work and these hit the jackpot!!!

I have terrible knees and need ultra sturdy running shoes to prevent me from getting an injury in my daily HIIT class. I don't love the look but they have been a lifesaver for my knees. I'm running as fast as I did 10 years ago thanks to these bad boys.

WW is definitely EXTRA wide; wider than other New Balance I own. VERY roomy. Not sure, may have been able to order 1/2 size down, but works with orthotics and good running socks with padding in heal. Like walking on clouds!

3rd time I have bought these sneakers - or an update Feel great right out of the box!!!!!!

I have bought New Balance mesh shoes for years. I have found that I must order a 9 instead of an 8 because they are smaller over the past years. I have compared the bottoms of older shoes and there is a very distinct difference in the cut of the shoe. I wear heavy socks to avoid blisters and have a high arch foot that requires a wider forefront due to most of the force of my steps are centered there. It is better to have a little extra room at the toes than too little room, especially since feet swell after running or being on your feet for many hours. This is a scientific fact, not just my opinion. They have proved to be very comfortable and I am very pleased with them. I would say to order a half size up if you have any issues at all that require a generous fit. A full size up from shoes you wear with thin stockings or socks. Zappos has been a wonderful source of my athletic shoes and pants for years, and the return policy as well as the selection of shoe sizes is incomparable.

Love them. The fresh foam took some getting used to, but these are my second pair, and I really like them.

I really liked these shoes, they fit well and the wide width is really nice for problem with bunion. Sadly I'm returning them only because I require a bit more cushioning especially in forefoot. Beautiful looking shoe too!

I got professionally fitted for gym shoes locally and they recommended these. I bought these in store, wore them for a week and ordered another pair here. They are great. I have a very high arch and instep which makes my feet seem wider but with narrow heels. This shoe has a good heel cup that holds heel in place but also has a roomy unrestricted toe box. Since I have such a high instep I feel the arch support is moderate but for a flat footed person it may seem very intense arch support. The soles are also cushiony.

I love these shoes! Wore them out of the box and no break in period! Just walked about 35 miles at Disney World over 5 days in them- no blisters and my feet felt comforted by the foam soles!

I ordered these a size larger and the fit pretty well. Because of the larger size they seem just a little bit sloppy in the heal. I think I could deal with this but I really don’t care for the pretty blue color on my big feet.
