Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080v12

Product was satisfactory. I enjoyed the sneakers which were comfortable and effective. I have worn new balance sneakers for many years.

I have been wearing 1080s for several years now and the last 2 versions just didn't fit me the same. They were tight and took a bunch of miles to break them in. The new 1080v12 is a dream from the very first run. The fit is so much better and they are more comfortable than ever. I hope they stay this way. Thanks!

I use these shoes for pickleball. The extra cushion protects my injured heel.

The only thing keeping me from giving the 1080 v12s 5 stars is they do run a half size larger than expected. Luckily my feet still don't move around too much with the little extra room, but I would've gotten a half size smaller in retrospect. I've put about 60 miles into them so far on a few different surfaces, and I have zero complaints. Definitely my favorite shoe in my rotation right now!

Most comfortable tennis shoes I've ever had. I have three pairs now.

The new snugger heel prevents rocks and debris from getting in the shoe.awesome!!!!

I purchased a pair of these yesterday. I got in a 5k that same day, right out of the box, and a 5k today. Here are my thoughts. Obviously I am very impressed with the Out Of The Box, feel. The Upper is absolutely amazing. I was very concerned after seeing the fit on several reviews on YouTube. I bought my regular size that I have in other brands, with no issue. Right out of the box the midsole foam seemed firm, in comparison to what I have been wearing lately. I say that but the transition is extremely smooth, and with the excellent fit of the upper, it just feels like a package. After taking them out this morning for another 5k, they seemed to be softer. Same transition feel just with a it more squish. Guess I will see how they feel as the foam breaks in but so far, i have been impressed with over all experience. For the incredibly short time I have had them, I have enjoyed them, and they now have a place in my rotation. Amazing Upper, Great Cushion, Fantastic Transition.

As an event DJ I stand a lot. As a result, I've developed painful plantar fasciitis, which is inflammation of the heal and arch of the foot. Along with a fatigue mat I've tried wearing different running shoes to help cushion my foot, but, unfortunately, I was still experiencing pain. However, the New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080v12 was a game changer for me. This shoe feels like I'm walking on air! My foot gets the cushion it needs and my feet don't feel fatigued after standing for several hours. I also bought shoes with the wide toe box so my foot doesn't feel cramped. This is an extremely comfortable and well made running shoe. I'm definitely going to purchase a second pair! These shoes rock!

3 mile walk/run on green belt very comfortable and stable. Built very well. This is my second pair I also love it comes in extra wide.

Best Shoes I've ever worn. I have a big wide foot, I order this pair wide and they just fit and feel really comfortable.

Use for regular walking and leisure. Feels like walking in air.

I like the fact they have wide sneakers available. Apart from looking really cool with nice colors that pop. The shoe is super comfortable. I'm a 12 wide weigh 300 lbs and can comfortably jog 5k. Didn't seem to need much breaking in (at 300 lbs the tend to do that pretty quickly lol) I bought 3 pair at the same time to compare and these are equal to saucony endorphins run 2 and ASICS gel nimbus

These shoes are very comfortable, and aI am enjoying them.

31 years old and this is the first pair of shoes that have EVER fit my wide mid-foot. Going down a 1/2 size ordering here is imperative! Even then I have plentiful space to spread my wide toes and stretch my foot in this this flexible yet magically cushioned yet supportive shoe. Most comfortable shoe I can imagine for a daily! Perfection without question. Thank you New Balance for making shoes that cater to all foot types, even with your best lines and colors options! Seriously without your shoe I can barely walk right now as I'm dealing with bad tendinitis. 1st shoe that I don't feel like I'm making things worse, but somehow improving!!

I have been wearing the Fresh Foam 1080 sneakers for many years and they have always been comfortable. I don't ever have to break them in. I love these shoes.

Pricey but really nice for your feet, I've bought three pair now and plan to buy more. Waiting for a good special

I returned this item as it was not as bright white as I thought it would be based on description

Everyone of my running shoes is a 1080 and they are the best ever.

I have had the 1080 since version 7. I am a huge fan of this latest version. The reinforcement of the heel makes the shoe feel much more sturdy. As with the recent updates, this show has no break-in problems. Extremely comfortable. Thank you NB!!!

Love these - this last pair will have been my 4th purchase

Ordered my usual New Balance size 11.5 Wide. These shoes were much longer. I have returned and ordered a size 11 Wide. Hope they fit.

I have a Morton's Neuroma in the right foot and any shoe with enough tightness in the mid or forefoot will cause pain and tingling. I usually wear Keens and recently have been through 3-4 pairs of Speedgoat 4s from Hoka. The speedgoat 5 is tighter in the forefoot. I didn't like the placement of the arch in the Speedgoat 4 (it was too posterior) but tolerable. So this time I looked for something new. The NB Fresh Foam is working out pretty good. The Speedgoats would be sized 2E (wide), but with the NBs I went with regular D. I can't feel the arch, so it's either placed well or insignificant. In the store there was no tightness, but when I wore them for 30+ minutes I noticed some tingling and discomfort in the right foot. So what I did is cut out the side elastic material that is connected to the tongue. On either side of the shoe tongue there is elastic material that holds it in place and envelopes your midfoot. It's not tight, but it was enough to start to irritate my neuroma. Once I cut it out the shoe has been about perfect. I left the elastic in the left shoe and no problem.

My absolute favorite, Go To Shoe. Best tennis shoe
