I am not disappointed with these 1080v12 I just miss my 1340 style which seems to be unavailable. If anyone has any insight on that, I'd love to order them again.

I use them for walking, and some light running. At first i thought the shoes were a huge improvement over the 1080v10 and 1080v11. The heel was supportive and I was certain it would last longer than the v10 and v11. It felt like i was walking on water. 6 months later: the rubber sole has worn through significantly and the heel has completely worn through with cracking of the plastic to boot. I still have the v10 and v11 and they are in better shape. This should not have happened to the v12. It turns out, that there's a 6 month warranty policy that I was not aware of. Lucky for NB, I am 4 days past the 6 month mark and New Balance will not offer an exchange.

Perfect width and length for my size 9 1/2 D. Some shoes I need a wide. These are the most comfortable sneakers I have ever worn in my life. More expensive then what I usually pay, but definitely worth the extra money. The only down side is that I doubt the soles will last more then a year of casual use. ( not using them as running shoes ) Time will tell.

I have owned easily north of 50 pairs of running shoes in my life and these hands down take the cake for most comfortable. I wore these to a trade show and logged 40 miles in 4 days. TWO THUMBS UP

Have had several version of the 1080. This is by far the best one yet.

These are my dedicated running shoes. They really absorb impact. Feel like walking on air. They may be a little heavier than some of my running shoes but hardly noticeable. I would definitely buy them again.

Thank you offering wide width shoes that also look fashionable with a minimalist look. I love the all gray and all white 1080v12's. Its so difficult to find good, comfortable wide width shoes with a simple, minimalist & fashionable design. Thank you New Balance!

I love these shoes. Not a distance runner by any stretch of the imagination, but average about 7-10 kilometers per day. I was so impressed with the comfort and width selection available I purchased a second pair. I love the fact that there was no break-in period needed. Most comfortable pair of shoes I have ever owned. Great job NB.

Review for Zappos VIP Points(What's this?)

Some have said that the shoe runs a 1/2 size larger. For me there is a little bit more room between my toes and the front of the shoe. Otherwise, the fit is same as other versions, no heel slippage, no sliding of foot in shoe. Comfortable shoe with good width, a little firmer ride than previous versions.

Very disappointed with these sneakers at this price point. The sneakers are extremely and annoyingly squeaky and loud in the heels no matter what surface you are walking on. Seems like the noise comes from the heels being compressed as you walk. Also the the edges of the shoes have some areas of abnormal wear (see photos) creating gummy looking edges. Would not consider purchasing New Balance at this price point again. Poorly engineered product. definitely would not recommend!

Loved the shoes, very well made and comfortable, until the arch began to set in. It's far too high and makes the shoe practically unwearable for those of us with low arches. Really disappointed.

I use these for walking and exercising. I find that they fit but do not provide anywhere the same level of support as my regulars shoes, your 990's. I find my feet, metatarsals and bunion in particular, are sore.

Hi - good sneakers - I have some foot pain and the soles are nice and soft - especially with an insole. However the padding around the back wears out after 100 miles. Needs to be way more durable material

Love this shoe for walking, the only problem is that the soles wear out very fast. I'm buying two pair a year.
