This is not a conventional running shoe. I thought it looked good but fit and comfort are a challenge

I love my 1080's. They are extremely comfortable and feel like walking on a cloud. I mainly wear them for walking and for casual wear. They fit to size and have a nice roomy toe box even for people like me with wide feet and a high instep. This new model in black with the blue soles is very attractive as well. A welcome departure from white soled running shoes. The recently released 1080v12 in white with black sole is also a good looking shoe with all the same positive qualities. Wish I had had these back in my serious running days.

Lots walking on asphalt, concrete, gravel, and light trails. Comfortable beyond expectations; like walking on air with glove like fit. I can't stop wearing them. Don't run, so unable to say how they'll perform under more stress.

I got the foam concept, but how much value is that for those runners that are larger? Not sure I see the value of curve of the cushion. Can't run in these - no arch support.

If your looking for comfort and do not buy these shoes and do not pay for the 20 dollar 2 day air shipping you will still get them in 7 days

Got the cobalt ones recently & love wearing them. They are lighter than my previous 2 new balance. The 10.5 fit great for me when an 11.5 was the size of my previous ones. Got my black lulu lemon shorts & Nike or under armor blue shirts-looking & feeling good!

They feel great. Like walking on clouds. Also a perfect fit. I like that they offer wide sizes.

I got the wide size and they actually fit my feet. Normally I have to get a size bigger to accommodate my wide feet. The upper is very stretchy and comfortable. The foam makes for a comfortable run.

Normally I love 1080's but I have now purchased 2 sizes and both have ran bigger than they should thus having to return them. The back of the shoe by the heal also has a lot more padding and isn't comfortable like the v11. I'm very disappointed with the color selection. As a healthcare provider; I prefer an all black shoe. There is not one available currently. The V12 is a bust for me.

I went to purchase a 1080V12 mens 9 1/2 shoe, 4E (extra Wide) from New Balance, since I could not find this size in any local store. NB had only one at this size, in one color, so I purchased it online. I would have perferred the black with blue sole, not in my size. For some reason, the 1080V11's I purchased last year are more comfortable. Maybe the V12s need more time to break in. I hope the shoes soles V12's last more than 6 months from the V11's, which was very disappointing. We will see how long the V12's last.

My wife and I are big walkers and light runners and the 1080's are the most comfortable runners that I own. Never disappoints!

Nice looking shoes, chose the wider model which fits perfectly. The sole is way too soft, it doesn't provide enough support to run on hard surface. Moreover, these shoes doesn't provide a good support just by standing up and it gave me soreness to my back and legs just after a couple hours. Considering the very high price of these shoes, I don't recommend buying them.

I have Metatarsalgia in one foot, and these New Ballance 1080's are some of the only shoes that consistently work for me. I add in an aftermarket insole with a met pad, and they are the most comfortable thing I have found.
I'd also recommend:

I use the 1080v12 as my daily running show. I'm on my third pair of 1080s and have been pleased with their durability, cushioning and comfort. It's a great shoe for any distance.

I use this shoe for walking or general everyday activities. I usually order 860, 880, and 1080...but have been finding inconsistencies as versions are changed. I am of the mindset if you have a great shoe, generally 5 star reviews, then why mess with the basic build?? Change the top material or colors, but the fit and performance are the one thing that matters the most so just leave it alone!! Because of this I will start considering other brands.
