I love the fit and feel of these shoes. Very light weight and supportive. The only downside is that the foam started to peel within 2 months. It's just cosmetic and honestly they are the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned

I'm glad a comfortable, 'stylish' supportive running shoe comes in women's wide. This style runs a little long and stretches quickly. For two weeks, I'm overall satisfied with this purchase.

Love these. I work 12 hour shift at a hospital and these have saved my feet and lower back & super cushiony, I even wore them to Disney! I did however gave a 4 out of 5 because they were a tad narrow so made the top of my foot (above big toe knuckle) a little uncomfortable. Other than that by far the most comfortable shoe I've truthfully ever worn hands down.

There is an eleastic band that goes over the top of the shoe attached to the tongue. It is too tight.

When I first put them on they were amazingly comfortable! They have the foam on the bottom and a thin fabric covering the top, they're awesome for nice weather walking/running. I read reviews that said they didn't like the heel, I ignored them and thought I won't mind. The heel feels really short and feels like they're going to slip off. If you won't mind this then I highly recommend buying them!

While the shoe is comfy on the inside, the tongue and ankle opening are somewhat stiff and cause discomfort. Hopefully they will soften up over time. I love NB shoes and have purchased many pairs. The reinforced areas are what drew me to these as the last 2 pair of 715v4 shoes start fraying on either side of the toe area. These shoes are not as comfortable as the 715v4 but hopefully will break in and not break apart!

This is my second pair of Fresh Foam 1080 running shoes. After a chronic case of plantar fasciitis, the 1080 was a game changer for me. The first time I tried them on, I literally felt like I was walking on clouds. After a year, it was time for a new pair and unless something major happens with subsequent versions, this is likely to remain my go-to running shoe. The only reason for 4 stars (and I would have given 4.5 stars, if that was an option), is that the 1080v11 seems just a little bigger and wider than the previous version. The width isn't that big a deal, but ideally I'd prefer the width to be just a little more snug. Still love the shoe, though.

Very light weight and well cushioned, just wish they had more arch support.

They may well be the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn but I cannot find a way to keep them clean. They cannot be polished or washed as far as I can tell and I hate that. They run a bit small so I went a half size up. I normally wear 7 1/2 wide and the 8 wide is perfect.

I fast walk about 30 miles a week. I was wearing NB 880v10 and began having big toe pain. I wanted to try the 880v11 but my running store didn't have the size I wanted to try. I was afraid to order them because the reviews said they aren't true to size for women. I switched to the 1080v11 which has really helped my toe issue. I like the arch support and rocker style. I seem to be able to pick up the pace more easily in these shoes. The tread is wearing out very quickly, my only complaint. I wear 7.5 wide and they are snug at first but loosen up.

Walked the sole off last year's model; this year's fit is similar, but something is off. Weirdly, the tongue is too short and the laces refuse to stay tied. Don't know what that's about.

Love the shoe. Only negative is the mesh by toes- seems like my toe will go wear through it soon.

I broke my foot a few years ago and love the cushioning this shoe provides. It's one of the few shoes I can wear without foot pain! Love everything about the shoe (top fabric is excellent, wide enough toe box, fantastic ball of foot cushioning) except that the heal cup broke into 2 pieces after only about 6 months. That being said I loved them enough to buy them again to replace!

I sent to run on at the recommendation of my podiatrist. My feet measure at 7, these shoes I bought 7.5 and I have normal to narrow feet.I have flat feet and they diagnosed me w plantar fasciitis. I had significant pain in my legs and feet. I work 12 hour shift s for the last 15 yrs. The person's working at run on recommended these shoes. With my inserts and the shoes my pain was reduced 90%! The first thing to get tired on my feet with these shoes is my heel, which it new to me. I wish they were easier to put on, such as a tab on the back of the shoe. I am contemplating buying a shoe horn. I have never bought shoes this expensive. But I do feel these have a little bit of an old lady vibe. I wish they had some more colors that especially involved the heel. Plain white with color is not really cool. But for what these do to my feet I will always wear but please make more cool colors. If you do that I would probably be a collector! For reference I am 37 yes old.

Too has no give so it kind of rubs on the top of my foot. Everything else feels great.

The fit was fine, after I waited because it felt tight at first and the shoe is smaller than the same model it replaced, and also lighter. I finally decided after looking at the difference between old and new versions of 1080 New Balance that the style of this latest version, besides seeming to be more cheaply made, made my foot look much bigger than my size 7 2E because the laces were so far down the sneaker and the top relatively long.
I'd also recommend:
Brooks ... but have liked New Balance in the past.... seemed to have changed alot now.

It hurt the inside of my foot the second time I wore them, enough that I was thinking of sending them back. The third time they were good. Lots of cushion, but I find the upper sole a bit rigid.

Like walking on marshmallows—a little too pillowy for me, plus the super-tall elf heel comes much too far up my ankle.

Exact replacement for my beloved previous pair, except the new extra-high elf heel comes much too far up the back of my ankle. Looks like I’m moving on from NB until the design changes again.

I loved the color and style of this shoe, but they slip on my heel when I wear with my doctor prescribed orthotics - even with the liner out and using the extra laces at the top.

The fit is a little larger than expected as well as wider. Other than that, the sneaker is wonderful ! Extremely comfortable and fun to do my interval walk run.

I've gone through 3 years/models of the Fresh Foams. Wish they didn't change the upper as unfortunately this new model is too wide for my foot now, and my heel slides up. Been running for 23 years and loved these so this was unfortunate.

I ordered two different brands of shoes and had a much harder time deciding between them than I expected. Ultimately I chose these because they definitely have the best cushioning and will be best for my plantar fasciitis issues, but I'm not 100% sold on them. The upper feels tight. I ordered a narrow because I also have narrow heels and most shoes slip on my heel. I love that these are available in narrow (but wish there were more color choices...the B width options are so pretty) which solves that problem. I read some reviews that said the uppers are fitted so I was concerned about my toes, but there is plenty of room there (another absolute must). They do feel like if I don't adjust the lace tightness just so they might pinch the top of my foot though.
