Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam 1080v11

I purchased several New Balance Fresh Foams styles simultaneously, but this pair did not fit like the rest. I feel the shoes were tighter at the insteps, and it may have been confirmed by the short amount of lace being left. I almost forced myself to to keep the pair because there is none left to be exchanged for, but no. I will just wait until whatever comes next.

I ordered 2 pairs of the 1080v11 in size 9 but different colors. This review is for the purple pair. I liked both colors I ordered. But I discovered I didn't like the style/appearance of the 1080v11. My style comment for this pair is the same as for the other 1080v11 - I didn't like the rubbery tab at the back of the heel and I didn't like how the laces stopped lower down on the foot, because this made the front of the foot look long (ie, made my feet look huge). In fact, when I opened the first box of 1080v11 my first reaction was that they had sent a men's size 9. Bottom line - I am returning them. Wish I'd noticed these features before I ordered.

The shoes fit, but I didn't like the appearance and will be returning them. I didn't like the rubbery "tab" at the back of the heel. Also, the lacing stopped farther back on the foot (towards the ankle) than normal, which resulted in the front of the foot LOOKING extremely long. So it made my feet long enormous - like I was wearing men's shoes.

These wore out so quickly! Foam broke down

Odd shape.

I was disappointed in the back at the ankle - I'm used to more support from NB. And this version had a rocking motion, not what I wanted.

I bought a 8 Wide, I suffer from bunions and these were not the shoes for me. the shoe itself was slightly wider than a regular shoe but not by much. I had an issue there my heel and ankle would slip a little but it was too small in the toe box. I also found it was was cushioned but didn't have any arch support and the mesh outside was a but tough and uncomfortable had the texture of a potato sack. They are cute and sporty looking but I don't think they are worth the price tag. I went ahead and ordered a pair of Hoka clifton 8 and they felt much better. They look more like clown shoes but more comfortable.

Size was about right however the wide toe box isn’t….felt narrow towards tip crimping toes. Very uncomfortable shoe. Painful to wear as they didn’t get any better with time. Wore them for short periods of time and after a few weeks I’ve decided they are not a good shoe. Poor cushioning as well. The back pull tab is ridiculous…New Balance has good shoes unfortunately this wasn’t one of them, at least not for my feet. Customer service is OUTSTANDING.

I've had these exact shoes before and loved them. This second pair did not feel like the same shoe. It felt flimsy with no support.

Loved the 1080s but the redesigned heel is HORRIBLE. Feet hurt and blistered. Best to skip this heel and look for the v10s.

I literally stood on soft foam--my feet then pronated to the extent that I couldn't walk.
