Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam 1080v11

The 108011 is a plush, soft and comfortable. Not as bouncy as fuelcell but solid

If allowed, would have left 4.5 stars. Comfortable and light.

Excellent design. But runs a little tight in the back

I'm not a runner but I'm a walker and I love my made in USA 1540v3. Since I could not be assured that my next 1540v3 would be made in USA I decided to try the Fresh Foam 1080v11, I like am happy with the comfort of theses shoes

6ft 240lb runner averaging 20-30 miles per week. This show has the cushion but the front part of the foot seems to be hitting higher than most shoes, resulting in Achilles tendon soreness and stillness the next day. The heel cup is very loose, I have had four 4 mile runs in them and the soreness is the same the day after.

These have been my go-to running shoes for a while. I've had a number of problems with the v11 -- the N on the side started peeling off within 3 months of purchase, the laces don't extend long enough down the body of the shoes, the plastic in the back heel cracked, and I get a sharp pain on the top of my foot from the tongue/lace design. I am and will continue to be loyal to New Balance but was not pleased with this purchase.

Bought in N. Conway. 9-1/2D. Width is very snug. Light/cool.

The show is very comfortable and looks great too. But the fabric on the front section ripped by itself. See image attached...

I tried the freshfoam because of the way the felt on my feet. The cushion is wonderful but there is absolutely no support for the ankles in these shoes. Had to stop wearing them after a few days because of the ankle pain

I have run for the last 50 years and for the last 40 in New Balance shoes. I have always found them to be form fitting and an extension of you foot. I like the flexability in forefoot and B width for my narrow foot. I think what I don't like about these is the lacing does not extend low into he forefoot. I should have order the Beacon 3 as these were the best shoe that I ran in recently. I was a marathoner for many years and ran 2 31 at 40+ .

Bottom sole still good but top covers is not height enough very tight I prefer this kind because I have ankle fracture issues but this time I'm not happy

I always get 4E width and they fit fine. These 4E are very tight. Had to send them back. The fresh foam sneakers I purchased last year fit fine. Not sure what changed with the sizing.

DO NOT GET THE WHITE! My gawd. Within minutes....there's black scuffs on there. Very hard to get out. And don't you DARE run them through the washer. The rigid material in the toe and heel will dent and malform even with washing on cold w/ no dryer. These are the most comfortable inconvenient shoes I've ever owned. Sadder.....the fact that NB can't keep 13 wides in stock across the board.

My last two New Balance shoes were model 940's (wide/2E). Currently, there are no 900 series being offered so I ordered the 1080's (wide/2E). The 1080's were very comfortable from a cushioning perspective, but I felt that they were just a little snug in the width compared to my 940's and did not provide as much support as the 940's. I returned them and ordered 860's and am hoping that they will do the trick. New Balance customer service has been exemplary.

The shoe is comfortable as a walking shoes but it wasn't the greatest when running on an elliptical. After about thirty minutes I had the normal discomfort in the main pressure points of my foot. For the price I paid, I expected a little more.

I can best be described at not as happy as I'd like to be. I ordered my new 1080 v11, because several pairs of v10 were the best shoe I'd ever run in. To be fair, I first looked for v10, because with the pending release of the v12, v10 inventory is difficult to locate. Nonetheless, I ordered my 1080 v11's (same size as v10) with high hopes. I've run about 20 miles in the v11, but am less than thrilled. The toe box is too big and can't be tightened down, and my heels slips constantly. The heel can't be clamped down any tighter either! Believe me, I've tried! And the new laces are not the same quality as the v10 laces. It might be a little thing to some, but to me, details matter. I just hung up after being on hold for 40 minutes, trying to arrange an exchange or refund.

Heel feels loose in this shoe, like I'm slipping out of it. Shoe is on the large size. Cushioning is v good, but the fit lets it down. Disappointed overall with a shoe of this cost.

I have been wearing New Balance for the past 8 plus years and this is the first time the foot wasn't as wide as needed. Also the insole pinched at rear of the shoe and doesn't remain in place after adjusting.

I unfortunately had to return this order. The upper fit was "off." It must have been some sort of manufacturing defect. I am currently running in two pair of 1080v11 and I absolutely love the shoes. These just did not fit right for some reason.

I have been a NB user for years. I even have two pair of this same model, however this on cause very sore spots on my instep. At the position of the top lace. I returned it ,but I am now afraid to get another. I don't know if it was the individual shoe or a model change. Bummer
