Size too large. And men’s size, meant to buy women’s. Return to buy a new shoe women’s that is on back order . Great quality, great work great construction.

As a wide-footed runner, these are some of the best-fitting, comfortable running shoes I have ever owned. Great daily trainers for easy and long runs, but I still felt like I could pick up the pace a bit in them. I've put about 300 miles on these shoes and the foam has only recently started to feel worn out. Really like these shoes.

Side not cut properly and massively cuts into the outside of your ankle.

This shoe is VERY poorly designed. The tongue is very firmly attached to a strap on only 1 side BUT it does not have any stretch to it. 2 different people tried on this show with the same result. The tongue absolutely will no go on the top of your arch stubbornly insists on being at a 45* angle to the side.

Got two pairs. One is fine and the other feels completely different. Both 1080v12 but one no matter what still is hurting my feet. New Balance didn’t care since I bought them from Zappos. Two of the same shoes in different colors should not fit so differently. Getting good use out of my 1 pair but the others, were a waste of $160.

I returned this product the day it was delivered and have not seen a credit to my visa so I disputed the charge with them

Horrible shoe. Felt fine while walking in my home. However, went for a long walk and literally felt pressure/poking on the inside ball of my foot - really annoying.

I'm a supinator, and these are by far THE BEST shoe on the market for me! Now that I'm 68, all I do in these shoes is walk, but my back feels great when I wear these and they look great for hanging out in, too.

Nice toe room, I’ve owned at least 10 pairs of this style sneaker over the years. Comfortable with nice arch support.

this shoe is a far cry from earlier versions....dont know why NB keeps changing their sizing conventions. Whilst this shoe fits at an 11 wide the even newer version does not and this shoe is definitely tighter than the older version of 1080 which I preferred. Maybe NB has performance considerations but for me its a great loss from what was a great shoe. Also, these newer versions scuff and stain much easier in the sole. The older ones looked almost new a year after I bought them. These ones stained from dirt almost immediately. I sure wish I would've gotten 5-10 pairs of the older version before they weren't available anymore... boohoo...

For the first time, in a long time, I found a shoe that fits like a glove. I was properly sized a few years ago and New Balance has been the primary shoe of choice. I always wear them for running.

Great fit. Super comfortable. I get plantar fasciitis and walking around NYC can be difficult. With these - I have zero problems putting in 10+ mile days. Better than the Hoka Clifton’s, imho and without the tall profile.

Wish they had more but as soon as you find one you like they quit making it or never have it in your size again and you don't know if you like it till after you've already bought it and finally received it then you find out you like it and you can't get any more

i’ve been running in the 1080’s for a decade. I love them I love them I use the power step insoles instead of the fresh foam that comes with it I find it gives me better arch support but that’s just me the shoes are very comfortable and after 400 miles i use them for walking.

So disappointed in New Balance. I've been wearing the 1080s for years and this is my 6th or 7th pair. I have worn 9.5 for all of these pairs but now I'm swimming in the 9.5. I tried the 9 and that is a bit too tight so now I need to look for a new shoe.

Very comfy and cushiony, cushiony almost to the point where it's a bit hard to keep my balance.

I was very excited to buy the 1080 again but after ordering my usual size, I had to return them because they were huge. I got a second pair in a half size smaller and they felt great while I wore them at home. Once I took them to the street they felt huge again. Too late to return since I used them outside so I lost my money… Not happy about this purchase.
