Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080v12

Shoe was too bulky and still hard for me I returned them.

They aren't worth the money. And I already made a review so where is if. But worth the money

These have been anything but comfortable, and for the price they're frankly not worth it. Even the wide 1080s were still narrow, but the biggest problem was the hard shelling around the toe.

Not sure if they are true to size or my other running shoes run smaller? Ordered same size and New Balnce was about 1/4 to 1/2 inch to long. So, I returned them and after 7 days I am still waiting for them to credit my card.

The insole is a bit too small for the shoe. When wearing them you can feel the edges of the insole in the toe area making it uncomfortable.

Make my feet go numb, generally uncomfortable.

I got the shoes for light running and sized down as advised and the toe box was still way too wide. There was no noticeable improvement to my time or the aches on me knees from wearing a $70 pair of fresh foam roavs so this is an overpriced shoe that does no better than a cheaper one. Not to mention that attraction to dirt that these shoes have, I've had them less than a month and have already had to wash them because of how dirty they look- and I run on a paved sidewalk.

Great looking shoe, but it doesn't fit my feet properly to run in. I've put in 1,300+ miles over the past 3 years without any issues and was told to try a pair of new balance 1080 from someone who was training for the Chicago Marathon. During my 1st run with these shooed I felt the right shoe was squeezing the top of my foot due to the compression tongue. I figured I would give them a few more tries to see if I would adapt but the pain in my right foot led to a strain in my calf. I thus retired the shoes from running.

I ordered a 4e and it's painful to even walk in these they are so tight. My toes rub on the sides. It's a shame because other versions of 1080 fit so nice. Why did you have to change a good thing NB?

I got the foam concept, but how much value is that for those runners that are larger? Not sure I see the value of curve of the cushion. Can't run in these - no arch support.

Nice looking shoes, chose the wider model which fits perfectly. The sole is way too soft, it doesn't provide enough support to run on hard surface. Moreover, these shoes doesn't provide a good support just by standing up and it gave me soreness to my back and legs just after a couple hours. Considering the very high price of these shoes, I don't recommend buying them.

Walking and lite running

I've been wearing NB running shoes -- including several previous versions of the 1080s, for 10 years. This version is noticeably different from and inferior to past versions. First, the sizing - after a decade ordering the same size online (10.5), I learned that this model suddenly runs large. I went into the NB store to try it on, and the 10.5 was noticeably too big, and the 10 felt slightly snug compared the the V9 and v11. On runs, they lacked the feeling of softness and light cushioning, and instead felt more rigid and stiff. Even after a few runs, my legs and feet felt noticeably worse. I've had to go back to a new pair of v11s (a better shoe at almost half the price at this point) in anticipation of an upcoming marathon. NB: Please go back to what's worked in your flagship running shoes.

This shoe has deteriorated compared to the v10, especially if had liked the cushioned ride of the v10. Also the space inside the shoe appears to have shrunk. Right out of the box and walking, I could feel the difference. Been in it the past 2-3 months. Disappointed overall.
