Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080v12

The shoes are pretty good to my daily routines

This is probably the 20th pair of these shoes I've bought. They are amazing, a very smooth ride. I have noticed that the soles in the last couple of versions seem to wear out quicker but I will still continue to buy these. Especially when new, they make all the nagging little pains disappear.

Would love it if you would make these in size 6.5. Especially the Color: White with black. Really nice looking. Chic and comfortable on concrete floors for 40 hours a week.

Not as comfortable as last years model

This pair is sized correctly. My prior pair that was half a size bigger were very wide and bulk despite the minor difference in size. If pricing was more competitive I would buy a couple of more pairs at size 11.5.

I am in my sixties and these shoes are super comfortable to wear and walk in. I have only one issue. I like to use a standing shoe horn to slip shoes on but the tongue slips down into the shoe. If it had a lace slot or was secured I would give this shoe 10 out of 10.

I am not disappointed with these 1080v12 I just miss my 1340 style which seems to be unavailable. If anyone has any insight on that, I'd love to order them again.

great shoe that remains comfortable for long periods of time, loses almost all grip when wet on some surfaces, logo started peeling off 3 days into use

Website said runs small and to buy a size down. I did and that was a mistake. I have had 1 x v10 and 2 x v11 all in a size 12 2E and they all fit the same. The 11-1/2 2E was too small and had to return them for a 12 2E which fit exactly like my last versions of the 1080. Comfortable daily trainer as expected.

Found this actually true to size + worth the higher price point. Took a bit longer than expected to break in.

I've been running Fresh Foam 1080s for several years. They're the only ones I'll consider, especially having wide feet, but this model feels narrower & is longer than past models. I wore them around the house a while to see if the fit improved. Love the black & cobalt color model.

My son loves these shoes. Comfortable, stylish and can accommodate his wider feet!!

I run on concrete trails and track, 3 to 5 miles a day. The shoe is light weight, durable and comfortable. I was wearing the Nike Zoom X Invincible Run and even though they are comfortable, the foam is prone to tearing, not to mention, the cost is obscene. The NB Fresh Foam is great. Buy a half size down. Fit is a little roomy, but not a deal breaker.

This is an alright running shoe. I'm not a fan of the changes they made from the v11. I've been using New Balance for 20+ years, so I'm not adventurous enough to try another brand. I would think for the price of this shoe you could find something better. I'm not mad, just disappointed

Comfort, colour, size was over sized as warned. It is a very comfortable shoe.

I went to purchase a 1080V12 mens 9 1/2 shoe, 4E (extra Wide) from New Balance, since I could not find this size in any local store. NB had only one at this size, in one color, so I purchased it online. I would have perferred the black with blue sole, not in my size. For some reason, the 1080V11's I purchased last year are more comfortable. Maybe the V12s need more time to break in. I hope the shoes soles V12's last more than 6 months from the V11's, which was very disappointing. We will see how long the V12's last.

I use this shoe for walking or general everyday activities. I usually order 860, 880, and 1080...but have been finding inconsistencies as versions are changed. I am of the mindset if you have a great shoe, generally 5 star reviews, then why mess with the basic build?? Change the top material or colors, but the fit and performance are the one thing that matters the most so just leave it alone!! Because of this I will start considering other brands.

I'm a half marathon runner, I do two - three races per year. For years I've been all about the 1080s, I have a flat foot and I'm 6ft tall, around 180lbs so some cushion is good. With each new version of the 1080 I'm curious to see what they'll do. I looooved the 11s, perfect shoe. The biggest issue I've had with the 12s would be the sizing. In the 11s I wore an 11.5, fit perfectly. These felt like boats. I sized down to an 11, still swimming. Like I couldn't sprint and had to curl my toes when going up a hill because of the slip. The 10.5s don't slip, but my toes feel cramped in the ceiling. The box width is good, overall it's fine on my foot, but I'm hoping the 13s will get back to the 11s a bit. Otherwise the shoes are great- same great cushion, super light, for me it's NB all day.

Would have given five stars were it not for the the narrow instep. But even with that it's a stretch fabric so they're pretty comfortable. Best ever runners.

I walk every day for 2 to 4 hours. The soul of the shoe could be a little thicker as it wears through before the rest of the shoe. Plus a tongue holder is needed. Otherwise, still the best, most comfortable runner made. Very good shoe.

Everyday use out here in the country. Good traction. and comfortable. Very limited color selection. I wanted the shoe colors as picured above, but, the colors were not available.

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.
