Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080v12

These shoes are very well built and you can feel the quality the moment you slip them on. Very comfortable all day wear. I drive a lot and there were times I felt I didn't even have them on. When walking or running they fully support your feet and absorb shock extremely well. I had a foot injury a few years back and I don't feel any pain when I step with these shoes. Thank you NB!!!

From a comfort perspective they are fantastic, I love these for long slow runs. However, the rubber on the outsole is very soft and good for grip but not durable in the slightest. It recommends going down a half size which is necessary as the shoe does run ever so slightly long. All in all love the shoe just some small issues.

I was a fan of the v11 but the v12 runs tighter on width and length. My reason for switching was because I ran through two pairs of v11 because the flimsy top near the big toe got a tear both times. Here is hoping the v12 does better on that account... But the lower shoe is amazing for walking and running so I keep coming back to this a third time.

Good shoe but doesn't feel quite as cushiony as v.11

Perfect comfort for long walk! Smooth and very light to wear.

I have warn New Balance since running a marathon in 1985. Always 12 wide. This last pair says 12 W inside but feel long and even wide for me.

First go around with 1080. Nice comfy shoe. Cloudy feel if you like cushioned you'll like this shoe.

This is an amazing shoe that I use for work. It is lightweight and comfortable. It is extremely facile to put on or take off. There is enormous support.

Really great shoes would highly recommend very comfortable.

Daily wear - I've worn 1080s for several years, and they are very comfortable. This time I went for the Wide, and I'm very happy that I did. Probably should have made the switch earlier, but was worried that I'd be sliding around in the shoe - not so. Love the shoe.

I use these primarily for walking distances of 5 to 8 miles. They provide cushioning and support. The uppers are elasticized so the form to your feet and don't slide to feel too tight. I've got some foot issues, pain develops after a while, but not with these. Very happy with this choice.

These shoes fit like a glove! Lots of cushioning. Stability is solid as well. I normally wear orthotics for my high arch but I don't need withis shoe.

It's great to know that the fit and quality of NB will always be consistent. I bought these for my picky son and have turned him into a NB fan for life.

Very comfortable - been buying 1080s for years and love these shoes. Read online a number of places this version runs large. I bought a half size down and it fits properly.

I have been wearing New Balance shoes for over 40 years. Yes, I said over 40 (forty) years. I have been an extremely loyal customer. Lately, due to the lack of availability of this shoe in stores, I tried ordering them directly from New Balance. I tried twice, on two separate occasions. Each pair that arrived was WAY too small. In the end, I had to return both pairs. I have two pair now that I bought in stores nearby and they fit great. Not sure where New Balance is getting the shoes that they send out directly, but I am done ordering them via the Internet directly from New Balance. The quality control is not there. In both cases, it wasn't even close - I could tell the size was way off as soon as I tried on the shoes. Disappointing.

Very light weight which is good. Disappointed the 2E proved to be too narrow. Felt good walking around the house. After a 4 mile walk my foot was telling me too narrow. Unfortunately I can't return them after walking outside but I can wear them out where I'm not hitting the pavement.

I have bought about 4 pairs for my son the last 2 years. He said they are the most comfortable running shoe.

My husband did not like the lateral the she's were made out of

The shoes were absolutely comfortable! I have a bit of underptonation. These are a neutral shoe, but I fatigued the foam in 3 days and my static stance was underpronated because of it. Keep in mind I am 6'2" and 250lbs.

Beautiful design with exceptional cushioning! Exceptional comfort, 10 x wide, perfect fit!

Because of a permanent foot injury, Fresh Foam provides the best cushioning and width to accommodate the orthotics that I now must wear. They look great and can be tossed into the washing machine for easy care.
