Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam 1080v10

This shoe is the real deal ! The 1080v10 is full of updates , taking this premium daily trainer to the top of it's class . The upper has a foot hugging boitie construction which wraps the foot in total comfort . This shoe has a roomy toe box with good height. The ew and improved Fresh Foam X midsole is incredibly soft with plenty of energy return . The rocker shape aids in giving this shoe a very smooth transition. The outsole is segmented to give excellent flexibility. I have been in the 1080 line of daily trainers since version 5 and this update is by far the best yet.The 1080 v10 is miles ahead of any shoe in its category.

New Balance has really raised the bar with the Fresh Foam 1080v10. I've lost count of how many pairs of the previous iterations of the 1080 I've been through, but I could always count on them to fit well and offer me the sort of support I need. These are like stepping into an insanely comfortable, high-tech walk-assist device. The toe box is taller so your digits have more room to move up and down, but at the same time it's a highly stable platform – your foot won't move around on the insole. I love these so much, I'm ordering another pair in the other color this week.

The New Balance 1080 sort of died with the advent of the "Fresh Foam" marketing concept. These are soft and comfortable but it's basically just a huge foam pad with a soft upper and I don't get a lot of technical feedback like the older 1080 versions from the ride and feel like my feet are too far off the ground. Over time I got used to it but wouldn't want to take these on a rough trail or run on uneven surfaces. I feel like it's a twisted ankle ready to happen. But if cushioning is your number one priority this is definitely your shoe. The shoe is too narrow and my little toes wore holes in the uppers and I have narrow feet. Will definitely get a wider width next time. The dracula style design thing that sticks up behind your heel is a gravel catcher and I sometimes have to stop and empty the little rocks out of the shoe. I'm over 6 ft and 200 pounds and run/walk about 20 miles per week. At 7 months they were very much worn out. I wish they would offer a wider range of color choices. It seems like basic black is the color every shoe manufacturer loves right now. The shoe has a considerable drop from heel to toe and the forefoot portion of the sole wore out much quicker than the heel. Overall a plain-Jane highly cushioned shoe without much technical innovation but it gets the job done. Good for training but not going to set any speed records with the model. Overpriced in my opinion.

My son likes the look of these sneakers. They are giving him blisters on the outside part of his ankles. Perhaps this is temporary as he breaks into the sneakers. The footbed is comfortable, however.

Be specific about your likes and dislikes. How was the fit and size? What does the material feel like? How awesome (or not) do you feel wearing them?

Not enough lateral support. Left foot rotated causing me to loose my balance and fall. For me sneakers very unstable.

Fit great comfortable shoes

They wore out far too fast. If you are a big guy with a 17 shoe; prob shouldn’t get “fresh foam.” So that’s on me. Great product though.
