Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080v12

Nice shoes, but way too expensive

Absolutely adore the style and subtle colors of this shoe. I got the Sea Salt with Sweet Caramel and Light Surf. It's super lightweight, provides very good stability, and serves many purposes. I use them for long walks, errands, fitness, sculpt and dance classes. They have a thick cushion and they are truly like walking on clouds!!! Unfortunately within the first few days of having them, I accidentally broke a liquidy bottle of brown brow mascara that went flying all over the shoes, and could not for the life of me scrub it off. I stuck the shoes in the luke warm machine wash as I do with all my running shoes and let them air dry, however the shoes became quite misshapen afterwards and took 5ish wears to go back to normal shape, hence my 4/5 stars. On top of that the brow mascara did not come out, so sadly they look quite awful lol of course which is to no fault of new balance or the shoe ;) Regardless, if you're not the type of person who machine washes your workout shoes on occasion, then these are an absolutely amazing purchase and I highly recommend.

I love the color of this shoe and also the show fit true to size. All the reviews I read stated the shoe had great cushion I just thought it was ok. I usually order go walk Skechers. Seem to compare to them and the price was cheaper.

I'm a nurse and so I work and walk the whole of my shift. This shoes works great on me, comfortable and feels really soft to my feet. My only complain is that I'd hurt my midsole if I use the shoes 3 days in a row.

I have had a few pairs of Fresh Foam and they are good. However with each new "model" the comfort decreases. The most recent purchase are a little less comfortable and were not available in colors I wanted. I kept them but they aren't my favorite by any means.

One shoe has a very long string and the other show could use a little longer string. Now I HAVE to but proper shoe strings on top of paying for shoes

Love the fact that has several width options, is light and can easily replace insoles.

I bought these because I thought they were more of a periwinkle color but they are actually light blue. Just FYI. Super comfy!

I'm not a runner, but I walk a lot and at 72 my feet need more support. These are absolutely by far the best walking shoes I've ever owned. I love the design as well. I do substitute teaching and they're perfect because they're stylish and remain comfortable all day long while I'm on my feet and walking. My only criticism is they look HUGE on my feet. I have size 12 feet after all, but most shoes I get don't look like they're a size 12. All in all though, I'm thrilled to find something I can do long walks in and go to work in.

A little stiff in the beginning but once you break them in, it's the best and most comfortable running shoe!
