I wanted to love these shoes. They're incredibly comfortable, nice balance between foam and road feel. Great ventilation too. Unfortunately I experienced too much heel slip in these which drove me mad after 2 miles.

After 12 hour shift my feet are not tired, which at age 61 is pretty amazing

New Balance is comfortable from the first minute wearing them . You don't need to break them in

The 1080 v11's are great shoes. Super comfortable, well made, and ultra soft soles. I wear these, and the other pairs I have, for walking and for casual wear. I really like them and highly recommend them for anyone who is looking for a really comfortable pair of shoes. I am long past my running days so cannot comment on how they perform for logging miles on the asphalt. Roomy toe box and flexible uppers. Stretchy laces. I have six pairs in different colors so I obviously highly recommend them.

Bought these for my wife who is a nurse on her feet all day. So far they are making a difference.

4E is a bit more narrow than 1540 v2 but the stretchy soft material makes it feel comfortable and less tight. It is true to size but I went 1/2 size large just to feel less restrictive and in case I needed to wear thicker socks.
Negative might be the heal is not as secure unless you really tighten the lace. However, this could just be because I went with 1/2 a size larger than I normally do.
Hopefully it will hold up.

I hesitated to buy these, because I had sorted these reviews by lowest rating. That made me think they weren't a good product, but I decided to give it a shot anyway. I should have listened to the lowest rated reviews.
The shoe upper is paper thin in its construction. There is no way these have durability for outdoor running. Maybe they were designed for treadmill-only. That would be ok for a $70 mall shoe, but that's not how these shoes are marketed or priced.
I am exasperated trying out different shoe companies, trying to find something decent like you might have found circa 2018. Literally, every company I have tried is manufacturing junk and selling it at a premium price. It makes me angry that I think I'll just keep using my various older shoes until these companies get their act together. Have fun processing returns!

This is one of the best shoes I have ran in. I'm a bit on the heavier side and when I run on pavement they absorbe a lot of the impact. They feel like running on clouds.

I have bunions and have orthotics to correct flat foot / pronation etc. The 1080 is the only pair of shoes that consistently works for me. I have had many pairs over the years and am very happy with them.

Ordered a 10 4E, and the shoes are so narrow my feet are bulging out the sides. The tongues say 4E, but I'm not buying it.

Dont be fooled by the amount of supposed cushioning on this shoe.
it may look like a soft and comfortable shoe but there was little to no bounce or "spring-in-your-step" feeling.
I dont know what it was but i got my first knee injury from running ever while using this shoe after 1000s of miles of running.
I was a big fan of the 1080v10 but it seems like the updated version lost some of what made this shoe special.
Also a side not, the color option for the men's version of the shoe are very limited and disappointing.
I'd also recommend:
Asics / Saucony

I was on the fence about this purchase. The upper mesh is very flexible and comfortable despite me not having particularly large toes. The fresh foam provides the lightweight cushion foam and did not disappoint - the knee pain I had with a previous shoe was no longer felt.

The shoes are extremely comfortable and I work on concrete, walking 8 hours a day. The toe box is the perfect width. The only thing I don't like is that my heel slips just a little bit. I forgot that about New Balance! I'll try tightening them a little more.

The base construction of the shoes is too soft. Not the construction I was hoping for. Really overpriced for the weak construction. I have been a new balance customer for years and these pair are really disappointing.

This is my fourth time buying these shoes. They are fantastic for easy runs, long runs, tempos, workouts, aerobic runs, and everything in between. 10/10 would buy again, believe it or not

Compared to the Version 10, the material around the ankle isn't quite as soft, leading to skin rubbing near the front inside ankle area close to the shoelace. I have had to wear higher rise socks that cover and protect the skin around the ankle. Otherwise, the ride and comfort are great.
