I absolutely love these shoes from NB. The Fresh Foam is the best midsole I've tried. I need a 2E and these are perfect and have just enough room in the toe box and forefront. Now no running shoe has really good arch support but these are the same as all the others (I use one of the SuperFeet or PowerStep insoles in all my running and training shoes now). The 1080 v12 is new favorite!

These are great shoes, and can't recommend them enough, especially for those of you with 'problem' feet like mine (wide, and arthritic)
I've owned a few pairs of the Fresh Foam 1080s, and thus far they are the only shoes that have fit me comfortably--right out of the box! I order the "wide" and am able to size down by a half; it's unbelievable what a difference that half size makes when power walking! I now need not compensate for that extra toe length with every step that a larger size brings.
Well done, New Balance!

Wanted new walking shoes since my old NB shoes were 20+ years old (yes, 20, but still in good shape.) I wanted a little more toe room and wider width. Checked Men's Health and these were rated Best Lightweight Shoe. Very pleased, very comfortable and actually wear them around the house after the walk.

I get these running shoes a half size larger and wide width. I don't run due to knee replacements and for walking these are the most comfortable footwear I have. These are my second pair and I'm ordering a third, all different colors.

I use these shoes to play Pickleball and it's like running on pillows! Best and most comfortable shoe I've ever worn!

My 10th pair of 1080’s and my 2nd of this v12.
These shoes have the best balance of durability, comfort, weight, and style. I run short to middle distance in them, 5K to 15 miles. After about 175-200 miles on the run I rotate them into my casual/walking shoes, where they might live on for another 8-12 months.
Highly recommend.

I use this pair for walking at work and they work great. I also have a pair that I use only for running.

These are my latest favorite shoes. The NB Fresh Foam is the best. I need the 2E or EE and these are a perfect fit. Just the right amount of room in the toe box. These are now my 2nd pair. No running shoes have good arch support really so I always recommend some good insoles too (ie Superfeet Run Comfort or Powerstep Pulse).

I only buy 1080s.
When I got the email for discount on selected items at new balance, I was excited because I wanted to pick up a second pair of my favorite shoe.
I guess no surprise since these are probably the most popular shoes new balance sells

I loved the V10s, the V11s felt a little dead to me, and the heal area of the upper didn't work at all. However, the changes they've made have brought my love back to the 1080s. The upper is very comfortable, and the midsole works perfectly. Its not as bouncy or interesting as shoes like the rebel, or plated shoes. But I love the simple feel to it, where you can just keep running and not notice it as much while still having a good cushion and energy return.
AS others have noted, I went half a size down mens 9.5 (size 10 normally), my first time doing so in new balance shoes, but they fit perfectly.

Until I bought these I was using Hoka Gaviotas. The NB Fresh Foams have a similar cushioned feel like the Hokas, and the fit is perfect. Hokas are so narrow that I can't wear them for very long. Pricing is similar to Hokas, slightly less expensive. I just got them and only have 8 miles into them, but so far so good. I may just buy another pair to have ready when these finally wear out.

These shoes are absolutely stellar. First and forefront, these do run a half size too big. I usually wear a size 8 but got a 7.5 and they are perfect. 10/10 best running shoes I've had.

I wish these came in a safety toe. My weight, height, concrete floors and 16 wide shoe size lead to occasional bouts of bad overall pain in the small forward balls of the feet. I gave up on safety toes at work to alleviate the pain and bought these and all my foot pain is gone. These feel like walking on a cushion of air. The price is reasonable and they are available in a wide range of sizes. Thank you New Balance.

These sneakers are very comfortable I am using them for every day use. I have had some bad issues with my feet need very comfortable shoes and these are them. Feels like I'm walking on air with these.

I got these for my son. He loves them. He feels like he bounces when he walks. Great cushioning and fit.

Love this shoe but sad New Balance no longer offers Birthday loyalty discounts. After all the years I have gotten it, it has stopped.
