Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080v12

3 times a week, : intervals, tempo run and one long run between 40/45k

I wear this shoe for some running, some jogging and alot of walking. It's always super comfortable. Upper is soft and stretchy in the toe box but has support further back for keeping your foot in place. Real all start is is the fresh foam x midsole. It is so soft and comfortable yet very stable. Also weighs less than same size Nike react foam sneakers I have with simaliar stack height. My foot is a little wide but the standard width fit me perfect. Overall would definitely recommend to any one and every one.

Absolutely the most comfortable shoe I ever bought.

Comfortable and stylish. I recommend this sneaker to anyone with a ounce of fashion sense. Very satisfied with my purchase. Looking for other color waves.

True to size and very comfortable!

I'm a half marathon runner, I do two - three races per year. For years I've been all about the 1080s, I have a flat foot and I'm 6ft tall, around 180lbs so some cushion is good. With each new version of the 1080 I'm curious to see what they'll do. I looooved the 11s, perfect shoe. The biggest issue I've had with the 12s would be the sizing. In the 11s I wore an 11.5, fit perfectly. These felt like boats. I sized down to an 11, still swimming. Like I couldn't sprint and had to curl my toes when going up a hill because of the slip. The 10.5s don't slip, but my toes feel cramped in the ceiling. The box width is good, overall it's fine on my foot, but I'm hoping the 13s will get back to the 11s a bit. Otherwise the shoes are great- same great cushion, super light, for me it's NB all day.

I had to return my first set because they ran a little bit too big I normally wear a 15 wide and these were like huge on me went down to a 14 wide just perfect very comfortable super stylish

These hurt the arc of my foot and rubbed against my ankle when I ran. Had to return them for a different brand.

I like this shoe. It's been great so far. I run about 2.5-3 miles a day (treadmill and streets). No blisters with these shoes. Support seems adequate. They do run big, so do not order a half size larger like I always dothey could be more snug on me, but that's on me. I like the style enough, though my previous two pairs of equivalent NB foam running shoes (style discontinued) looked sharper on my feet I think.

By far the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn.

Would have given five stars were it not for the the narrow instep. But even with that it's a stretch fabric so they're pretty comfortable. Best ever runners.

Walking and lite running

Love it. Great shoe! Recommend it 100%

These shoes are the best, comfortable and support.

I've been wearing NB running shoes -- including several previous versions of the 1080s, for 10 years. This version is noticeably different from and inferior to past versions. First, the sizing - after a decade ordering the same size online (10.5), I learned that this model suddenly runs large. I went into the NB store to try it on, and the 10.5 was noticeably too big, and the 10 felt slightly snug compared the the V9 and v11. On runs, they lacked the feeling of softness and light cushioning, and instead felt more rigid and stiff. Even after a few runs, my legs and feet felt noticeably worse. I've had to go back to a new pair of v11s (a better shoe at almost half the price at this point) in anticipation of an upcoming marathon. NB: Please go back to what's worked in your flagship running shoes.

I walk on average 7-9 miles per day 2-3 with my 16 week old Golden Retriever and the rest of my walk is 4.2 miles per hour serious walk, these are my favorite shoe and I've tried a couple different styles

Great for. They look great too

These are probably the most comfortable pair of NB since I starting purchasing 40 years ago.

I walk a lot and run a little. These are comfortable, well-cushioned, and like great, too!

Very comfortable shoes.

I like these shoes. Comfortable. But expensive and the tread wears out FAST. Probably makes sense to buy a cheaper shoe if it's going to wear out over a similar time frame.

This is my 4th pair. That should say it all. Amazing

I walk an average of 9,000 steps a day and these shoes make it possible.

I walk every day for 2 to 4 hours. The soul of the shoe could be a little thicker as it wears through before the rest of the shoe. Plus a tongue holder is needed. Otherwise, still the best, most comfortable runner made. Very good shoe.

Love the heel design which really helps with my stride. And thank you for the tongue design which keeps it perfectly in place and prevents it slipping to one side.
