Running with these are very easy, but it's very hard to strike with your midfoot if your about that which I am, buy em a half size down if you want some space for your toes to move, good quality and look good.

I recently got the purchase after 3 weeks since I got it delivered via international shipping. I wasn't expecting so much because I thought running shoes seem smaller to my wide foot. But when I got the shoes, I was so amazed it felt true to size. The design was so on point. The color was so vibrant, I couldn't take my eyes off it. I suggest this shoes with heavier set guys. I guess running shoes are meant for people who want a healthy lifestyle. This was a great purchase. Definitely, I would purchase again.

I use them for walking. Had to buy a half size longer to get wide enough. The 1540's fit best but still can't get in my size and XX width. The 990's are about like these for comfort(somewhat acceptable).

Well worth the money, they are a bit pricey with no discount but worth. Good quality, comfortable and look cool. Got the 1080s fresh foam in cobalt color.

I ordered my normal size in a Wide and noticed that a) new model is much narrower than previous v11 and v10 of which I bought 3 pairs. My left shoe seems narrower than right shoe. I thought a few wears may break it in but no luck. Tried getting customer service assistance on the website but keeps routing me back to returns, which won't help since I've now worn a few times

Even in wide this show is too narrow compared to other New Balance. Painful to walk in, try anything else.

I've purchased many 1080 fresh foam shoes in the past due to their superior cushion and comfort. I need a very wide shoe to help with an arthritic big toe and these shoes work for me.

I got my pair 2 weeks ago and it already has stained and turned yellow( I try cleaning it multiple times). Comfort is great but the shoe feels tight so maybe get the wider option if you're not sure. My concern is with the shoe color and looking yellow 2 weeks after purchase. I feel like returning these shoes

I mainly wear Brooks Adrenaline GTS (21 and now the 22) as my daily driver. I log about 600-miles of walking before I retire them for a few months of yardwork before they say their final farewell. I've been wearing Xero Terraflex II as my yard shoes this year, but I've noticed my legs and feet are more sore and tired than usual after wearing, so I've found these New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080v12 as my perfect recovery shoe and a break from the stiffness of the Brooks Adrenaline. I wasn't sure about these at first, but putting the 1080's on after the new Adrenaline's and wow could I feel the difference and appreciate the Foam! The Fit and Width is true to size... I wear a 14 Extra Wide (4E) and there are not a lot of options, but Brooks and New Balance get it right. I love that these New Balance are available in a wider selection of colors in the Extra Wide sizes... especially after being stuck in the White-Grey-Black world of Brooks Extra Wides. The NB 1080 is staying in my rotation for the foreseeable future!

Unfortunately I'm no longer a runner but these are the best, most comfortable running shoes I've ever owned. The Fresh Foam is everything as advertised. The shoes are very light and also supportive. New Balance recommendation to buy a size smaller was bang on (I normally wear 10 and purchased 9.5). Love these shoes.

I work in a bakery where I have to stand for hours at a time. My new NB shoes support my feet so well that they don't ache during my shift

I ordered a size 11 and the shoe is easily a size 12. Beware when you're ordering online the sizing is not correct. Running in these are like running in sandals. What a waste of money. There's no way I'll be purchasing new balance shoes online again.

I walk about 10 miles every day at work at Amazon as a picker on reinforced concrete and the fresh foam has creased cracked and thinned to more compacted size and are pretty scuffed up easily after only about 16 days of work, I'm still under new balances refund promise so hopefully they'll take care of me regarding this. Initially these were great shoes but are low mileage

I had been told by a New Balance store person that the NB1080 v12 didn't have the bootie feel with the elastic inside on this latest model. ut it did! This feature is not good for a high arch. Also the shoe seemed to rum HUGE I've always taken an 8 in new Balance shoes especially in other 1080 versions. So I don't understand what happened here

This is the first pair of NewBalance that I've owned. Needed a pair of shoes that's good for standing for long periods of time and this pair of shoes is no joke. Literally feel like I'm stepping on cloud for 8 hours, no ache, no pain, no issues.
The only sad thing is my feet is super wide, and the widest of NB still a bit tight for me.

I bought this pair for my husband and had to order it from USA because his size is never available in NZ. This is the only brand he is wearing for years and years now because the style is great and the caters for big and wide feet. When I unbox this in the office my coworkers are stunned on how big the shoes are. They never seen one before. They all said it's a good looking shoes and the quality is awesome. I couldn't agree more!
