V10 was much more flexible around the ankle and had a much softer feel. Also the V12 runs too long.

Website said runs small and to buy a size down. I did and that was a mistake. I have had 1 x v10 and 2 x v11 all in a size 12 2E and they all fit the same. The 11-1/2 2E was too small and had to return them for a 12 2E which fit exactly like my last versions of the 1080. Comfortable daily trainer as expected.

Fit is perfect. 2nd pair of fresh foam and both are most comfortable shoes I have ever had. Definitely will buy again and recommend others do the same!!

I have had recent surgery on a bad nerve in my foot. New balance are one of the last shoes I can wear. The only issue is width. You can try them on in stores and order on line getting different fits. Online seems to run wider. I stuck with a D width. I need more room to prevent foot pain. I plan on ordering 2 more colors. Love these.

Hi, Unfortunately, I was a little disappointed in this version of the Fresh Foam 1080. I find this shoe very rigid and not nearly as comfortable as the Fresh Foam 1080 v11 I had previously. The positive is the show seems more durable and may last longer but it is no where near as soft and comfortable on the feet. I would have rated the previous v11 five stars.

My son has wide feet has always been particular in what shoes he wears due to comfort. He has wide feet in those types of shoes are hard to find in stores. He says these are the most comfortable.

I have wide feet and the New Balance is one of very few shoe companies that offer Wide and Extra-Wide sizes. I walk 30 miles per week and for the past two years New Balance Fresh Foam 880 and 1080V are the only sport shoe that I have been wearing. These two models provide total comfort and stability for my feet. New Balance Costomer Service is also very helpful and accommodating.

I have purchase three pair of the New Balance Fresh Foam 1080 v10's in 12.5 2E. I purchased the 1080 v12 in 12.5 2E thinking they would have a similar fit and feel. However, the shoes in v12 feel short and narrow. They fit like a 12 or 11.5 in length and like a regular in width. I was immensely disappointed so I am returning them for a refund. .... Another online purchase gone sour with regard to fit. Guess I will just have to shop in the store from now on.

New Balance is my go to shoe. Have an interest in HOKA One's but will look for these in a store.

Found this actually true to size + worth the higher price point. Took a bit longer than expected to break in.

Generally the shoes are very comfortable, the fit seems like it fits little large, the only thing is bother me is the arch area is painful specially when walking.

I bought the black and white color way. Looks great feels soft and supportive under feet. The upper material is soft but not overly stretchy. Impressive.

Not sure if they are true to size or my other running shoes run smaller? Ordered same size and New Balnce was about 1/4 to 1/2 inch to long. So, I returned them and after 7 days I am still waiting for them to credit my card.

The soles of mine are starting to come apart, after just over 2 months of wear. I don't even use the pair to run or anything in, just walk around campus. Attempted to contact customer service, sent pictures of where the sole is separating, as well as pictures of the shoes in general to show they're still in great condition. Was informed it's outside the 45 day return policy (which they're in great condition but I have been wearing them daily). I wanted them to send me a new pair and have me return their poorly made ones, but they refused. I have bought probably 10 pairs of 1080s in 8 or so years. Never again will I purchase another pair of New Balance shoes, after the poor quality of product, and even poorer quality of customer service.

Seems as though all the cushion is on the forefoot area. Heel had less cushion than my Nikes. Run very narrow as well.

I've been running Fresh Foam 1080s for several years. They're the only ones I'll consider, especially having wide feet, but this model feels narrower & is longer than past models. I wore them around the house a while to see if the fit improved. Love the black & cobalt color model.

The insole is a bit too small for the shoe. When wearing them you can feel the edges of the insole in the toe area making it uncomfortable.

I purchased this shoe for mostly road running after using the Hierro v5 trail running shoe. What I like about New Balance is their width. This shoe was very comfortable out of the box and I have put them through a few runs. No complaints yet!
