Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080v12

New balance got everything right in the 1080 v12. The fresh foam is still excellent. The new material for the upper is just the right thickness. The heel counter is finally terrific. The sides keep your foot stable. If you have a wide foot and want the best cushioning, this is your best option. The only company with a wide toebox since they use a different last that no other running shoe company uses. Just the best you can get.

Since the last pair I bought, the sole has been improved greatly. Also for someone who needs 4E, the fit is so perfect for wide feet people.

I previously worn New Balance 1080 version 11 during my running workouts. As with all New Balance products, I was very impressed with the quality and thought given to the design of their products. I feel the same about the 1080 version 12 running shoe, a quality product worth the price of purchase. I normally run 40 miles a week and my New Balance running shoes have performed flawlessly.

I've been running 1080s since V2 and this latest V12 is really great

I bought these to replace a pair of 1260's that I bought a few years ago. The pair of 1260's that I bought were the last model ever produced. I normally wear stability shoes but I found that my feet feel more comfortable wearing a high cushioned show. So I finally decided to buy my first new balance shoes in years. The 1080v12 are my first New Balance shoe that has their proprietary Fresh Foam. Wow!!!! I feel like I'm walking on pure sponges. These feel fantastic. Everything from the fit to the feel and the looks are fantastic. As always New Balances service is fantastic too. At least from my experience. I purchased these online on a Wednesday and received my shoes the following Friday. All-in-all I highly recommend these shoes.

This ahoe has always been my choice in the past years.it is exxelkent.i have some foot issues.it makes exercise fun again.would never buy another type shoe.

Awesome shoes!! I have 8 pair of New Balance shoes!! Each one is awesome! Thanks, Leo

The 1080 Fresh Foam X shoes exceeded my expectations for comfort and foot support. They are the lightest in weight running shoes that I have owned. I highly recommend them!

Loving the hot bright colour and praying this years model will out shine the last years. Whilst they have been so comfortable sadly their life span has seemed to shorten. Praying this years model will last longer then 3 months!

Buy em! Perfect for an active life. Super comfortable and gr8 last!

40 miles/week, 8:30 pace. Best shoe on market for me. 6'3 190 lbs size 14 -4E Age 65 Wish there was a model with a tad more cushioning, but right now this is the best I can find. Thank you.

Great shoe but they do seem to run a half size larger so it would be good to try them on first.

Best feeling shoe I have ever owned Narrow is so different

This is my first time running in New Balance, & I'll say I've found a new home. I've always ran in other competitors, because I didn't educate myself on the shoe itself. It feels great in the toe box, with a good amount of room. There's no heal slip, and it fits perfect. I would suggest running in your normal shoe size. No need to half size up since they fit perfect. The standard width seem to be decently wide, as I consider myself to have a 'semi-wide' foot. If you have really wide feet, maybe consider the wide width, but standard seems to fit pretty perfect. Its not too slim. 10/10 will buy again.

Very happy with this purchase! I've been wearing the 940's for a while and wanted to try something new. I'm very happy with these. The arch support with this shoe is very good. I'm glad I made the switch!

I love these shoes. They fit like they are supposed to and are super comfortable.

I have back problems and need a good cushioned shoe and these fit the bill. Bought 'em in blue and loving the look and feel.

I ordered two of the 1080v 12's. I wear these shoes daily because my job requires a significant amount of walking and standing on hard surfaces.

I buy the fresh foam every time I need new shoes. These are the only ones I buy. They are very consistent the way they fit, and perform.

I stand and walk on a concrete floor all day long and my feet would hurt so bad half way through my day. Not anymore. These shoes are worth every last penny. New Balance has a new customer for life.

I recently started running and needed a shoe that has a ton of cushioning, came in 2E width as well as had a stretchy and breathable upper as I'm quite heavy. I only wore Nike for the better part of my adult life and never really tried anything else until now. The 1080v12 in 2E is BY FAR the best fitting and most comfortable shoe that I have ever worn. I can't wait for the More v4 to release so that I can purchase them next!

I use this shoe for the gym and general day wear. The color combination is the most pleasing to my eye. It's also a great fit and comfortable. I didn't think I'd like the look of the thicker sole, but now that I've worn them, I satisfied with it.

Typical solid support and cushioning and love the new colours.

I have minor sciatic issues. Great shoes are essential for preventing pain while I run. These shoes provide incredible support and cushion and I experience no pain running in them. I LOVE them.

I tried the V11's and returned them due to the awful heel design. I was very excited to see some early marketing on these showing the more traditional heel and I purchased a pair as soon as they became available. I have about 50 miles in these so far and love how comfortable they are. They have a nice soft feel underfoot but still firm enough to keep up the pace over some other competitors in this category. Foot heel and mid foot lockdown is very stable for me but plenty of room for my feet to spread out in the forefoot. They do run a tad big, but I was still happy I went with my normal size.
