Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam 1080v10

Thank you! Perfect fit to my foot! Very supportive, high in the back so heel doesn’t rub, narrow fit great and look good on. ??

First of all, thank you so much new balance for continuing to make athletic shoes in my size women's 13 narrow!!!!!! Second, these are the most cushioned and supportive athletic shoes since the asic gel nimbus 18, which was 5 years ago. This is what an athletic shoe should feel like! Please maybe make a second color (white) in 13 narrow?

These are SO comfortable!!! Ot reminds me of the old ASIC gel nimbus from years ago. It is considered a neutral sneaker. I love them so much I bought two pairs! I am usually an 8.5 in ASICS and the same for New Balance.

I was disappointed when I opened the box because the photos and video online made them look like slip-ons (like the On Cloud sneaker). Although I wasn't expecting a standard lace-up and tie shoe, I'm keeping these because they feel fantastic! My feet are a wreck ... plantar fasciitis, high arch, bulbous pinky toes ... and these feel great to walk in (I did insert my own insole). I don't typically order a wide shoe but did for this one based on reviews, and they fit perfectly. This is my first pair of New Balances, and I'm pretty impressed!

Sizing seems off. These are so soft and comfy, but feel longer and narrower that the 1080v9.

I wear a narrow width in tennis shoes and a slim in dress shoes . I bought this NewBalance in black. It is so comfortable to work out in I actually ordered another pair to have to run around in .

Have only run 5 miles in these so far but they were quite comfortable and springy. Love the sock-like fit at the heel. Makes them easy to pull on. Less bulk at the heel feels better for me. Will be wearing these to train for and run half marathons.

These felt amazing as soon as I put them on. Like clouds but also very stable. Major foot challenges have me rethinking and replacing nearly all of my footwear. These are now my go-to athletic shoes.

So comfortable!

these shoes were very cushion-y and would have been very comfortable but i have an arch that made the stitching across the top make the shoes to tight and dig in to painfully. I tried to wear them and hope to break them in but i couldn't wear them my feet hurt to much

I've never worn an athletic shoe like this. I like the way the shoe stretches and holds my foot. I have a thin, shallow foot and usually have to pad even the narrowest shoes to get a better fit. Not with these. I had to wear thinner socks or the shoe would be too tight. I use a prescription orthotic and it fits in the shoe well if I remove the existing foot pad. There's plenty of cushioning in the sole so the removal of the pad still leaves me with a comfortable feel. I've only walked twice with these and so far so good. I need to see how these shoes hold up over time and if this design works for the amount of motion control I need.

They fit well, the foam is cushy and comfortable. The support around the arch really helps.

I ordered these shoes because they are the only rocker shoe I could find in a 7AA. I am used to SAS shoes so I see these are not up to their quality (or price) but they still seem to be a good quality. Time will tell. But I am actually a 7AAA and these shoes are still a challenge width wise. The width (I believe) is actually a AAA and I noticed someone else also said they run very narrow. That part is good for me but wouldn't be for a true AA. But where the tongue is stitched to the shoe, the thread that does not have any give, the shoes are just too tight. It's a bit hard to describe but they are too short, not too short length-wise, but the height of the shoe is too short just at that one painful spot. It's odd because the entire rest of the shoe is so flexible and that one spot is not. Additionally, if you are ordering a narrow shoe, notice the back panel which reminds me of a swim fin back. With a narrow foot, a narrow shoe and a shoe bed that is too short, they are a challenge to get on and require me to use a shoe horn. But since no one else makes a rocker shoe in my size, I am doing everything I can to make them work. I think if someone has an average size foot, they would probably be a very enjoyable shoe. I love the rocker effect.

I love everything about these except I never considered how the light color would mean they get dirty so easily!!!! This is my 4th pair of 1080’s and I would never get another kind. But next time I’ll get a darker color.

These were great but did not work for me. I wore them in my house for about 30 minutes. I have a long foot with skinny toes and a skinny ankle. The ankle has a great cover but it was too "big" for my ankle and rubbed so I returned them. I wish they would have worked because the foam was very supportive and comfy but the ankle was my issue.

I wanted to love these shoes but I don't like how these were constructed. I have high insteps in both of my feet and it felt like the way that the tongue of the shoe is connected with elastic that goes to the bottom of the inside of the shoe was pushing down too hard on the instep. The other odd thing about them is that the support felt uneven. I walked around in my kitchen with these on and felt like if I took a mis-step I would roll my ankle. So...sadly, I am returning them and ordering my good old standby the New Balance 840v4. I wanted sneakers with a snazzy look to them but what fits, and what feels stable on my feet overrides style.

I typically am a 8 street shoe and 8.5 M or W in running shoes, high arches, slightly wider forefoot, narrow heel and a runner. These run a 1/2 size smaller and a size narrower than the latest version v 11. This version the 8.5 W fit perfect and in the v11 my foot was swimming in the 8 W. I also didn't feel I could lock my foot into the v11 whereas the v10 felt more secure. The only reasons I returned this version is because there were 2 spots with a lot of pressure on my foot, the stitching right under the outside of the ankle where the heel meets the body and the stitching where the tongue attaches on the top of the foot left a groove on my foot just walking around the house. I think the v11 solve the ankle problem but not the tongue problem. Too bad, I really wanted these to work as NB usually has the best fitting uppers. I ended up getting the also super cush Brooks Glycerin 19 in a 8.5 D and have run in them and they seem great.

These are very comfortable shoes and work will for my a hit and Zumba classes.

I typically wear 8.5 in running shoes and 8 in "other" shoes, but had to return the 8.5 (they slipped in the back). 8 is a great fit, no slipping and thankful for a wide option.

These are a little hard to get on, but very comfy once they’re on. I wasn’t sure I would like the shaped heel, but it fits and supports well.

Order a half size up! These seem to run small, with a snug fit across the toes. I am a totally normal, runoff the mill size 10, never have a problem with the actual fit of a shoe, but these were pulled tight across my toes, with my big toe pushing firmly against the webbing up front. I exchanged them for a 10.5 and they fit perfectly. They have great cushioning and support, it really make you feel like they're launching you to run as soon as you tie them on. The heel curves nicely into place and feels snug and comfortable. The arch support feels very adequate; I've dealt with plantar fascitis in the past and it doesn't feel like I need to add an orthotic for now. They are also feather light with good grip on the treads.

Love the color, not sure they are the right running shoe for me as I’m still having toe pain in my one foot.

I love New balance, and have sworn by the Fresh Foam variations for years now. I was really hoping I'd love these also, but alas. I don't know if it's due to the entire upper being a jersey knit material, but my regular size of 7.5" was so tight in the width that I'm returning. my feet actually felt like they were going numb after wearing for about 20 minutes. I tried again the next day, thinking maybe I had too much salt or something in my body, but once again... they were just WAY too tight. I'm super disappointed.

I always add a Spenco insole to all of my sneakers. This time, the shoe felt a bit snug but the foot was so comfy. The main problem was the inside of the tongue. It was sewn very poorly and caused discomfort.

Zappos recommended 11 D in this shoe when I wear a 10.5 or 11 wide. This New Balance was 1/2 size too big a 10.5 wide would have been better. The heel was too wide so my heel moved up and down with every step which would lead to blisters or discomfort long-term. On the plus size this New Balance had the most cushioning compared with Brooks Ghost (11 wide), the shoe with perfect fit that I kept, and the Asics nimbus 22 in 11 wide that was the correct size but, like the New Balance the heel was too wide and rubbed. Guess I should just always buy the Brooks since they fit the best and have a narrower heel than other wide shoes.
