Poor SupportGreat Support
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'd also recommend:
Brooks, Hoka

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

Would love it if you would make these in size 6.5. Especially the Color: White with black. Really nice looking. Chic and comfortable on concrete floors for 40 hours a week.

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.

My shoes were delivered and the inside sole of my left shoe had a hole in it. Not something you would expect from New Balance.

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.

This pair is sized correctly. My prior pair that was half a size bigger were very wide and bulk despite the minor difference in size. If pricing was more competitive I would buy a couple of more pairs at size 11.5.

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 are the most comfortable running/walking shoes I have ever purchased. It's like walking on a cloud. AMAZING!!!!!!! I am 73 years old and wear custom orthotics which I place in every shoe I own. With these shoes I don't need them.....amazing!!!!!! These shoes far exceed my expectations. However, they are not as sturday as the 990V6's, which I've been wearing for decades (990v series). The 990v6's are a heavier shoe and will probably be more durable. But the 1080v12 is more comfortable and lighter. I have a pair of each. The 990's need the custom orthotics. You can't go wrong with either shoe. However, if walking on a cloud is what you would like to experience, try the 1080's. You won't be disappointed.

I have been wearing some model of New Balance size 10.5 4E for 25 years and the fit of the 1080v12 did not disappoint. In fact, with the upcurve at the toe the toe box is quite roomy and comfortable. I use the shoes only for running. The problem is that the outsoles wear exceedingly fast, especially the outside of the heels. The black portions wore through to the fresh foam in 100 miles. After 150 miles the pains of running on a worn out shoe started to creep in so I ditched them. What a shame.

I am in my sixties and these shoes are super comfortable to wear and walk in. I have only one issue. I like to use a standing shoe horn to slip shoes on but the tongue slips down into the shoe. If it had a lace slot or was secured I would give this shoe 10 out of 10.
