Width feels two sizes wider. I have narrow foot & have worn NB for years. Something has happened to manufacturing specs.

Got these shoes for my work standup desk and the support is okay, if you've got a higher arch it won't help all that much. I definitely recommend the W option for my wide-foot babes (I got a size 7.5W and they're outstanding in the comfort category) I wear them all day all week and the style is super cute. (3-Stars cause its a bit outta my normal price range lol)

I am a tough fit on my left foot therefore it is difficult to find footwear to meet my needs.

I really liked the NB 1080. They look very stylish. After the first wear, the bottom of sole looked like I’d worn them 6-12 months. I’m not sure if my shoes are an isolated case. I doubt these shoes will last six months.

I love these shoes. This is my second pair, so I wanted to try a different color. I love the look, but they stained so quickly However, black ones still look new after months!

I REALLY WANTED THIS SNEAKER TO WORK OUT, ITS NOTHING LIKE THE 1080V10. LESS CUSHIONING IN THE MIDSOLE. THE COLORS WERE JUST MEH, TOO. I COULD HAVE DEALT WITH THE COLOR BUT THE SNEAKER WASNT WORTH THE COST IMO.

Thus shoe looks great but not enough support AT ALL. Very disappointing I would like to send them back but I've been wearing them for a few weeks now. What happened with true stability NB?? I have a large wide foot (womens) and used to count on New Balance for my work shoes...not anymore which is so unfortunate

I needed them for an upcoming trip so i just kept them. They are very comfy. Just wish I'd been sent the right colour.

I really liked these and was so excited about them. Unfortunately the sole started peeling off after only two wears. So disappointing

I have bought these sneakers before and loved them. I have not been able to get the same model any longer but thought this was a similar pair. I have problems with my left foot going numb while wearing them that hasn't happened with the other pairs and they don't have the same back that allows me to slip them on without untying them. It took me awhile to decide to buy them at full price so I'm really dissapointed and sad.

1080V10 WAS THE PERFECT BALANCE OF SUPPORT, CUSHION AND THE HEEL WAS NOT PROBLEMATIC LIKE 1080V12. RUBS MY ANKLE IN THE WORST WAY- AND THEY ARE LONG IN LENGTH. I AM A SIZE 10 ACROSS THE BOARD AND COULD GO DOWN 1/2 SIZE OR MORE. SO DISSAPPOINTED

This shoe didn't appeal to me. The length seemed excessive for the size. I also expected a more rounded toe box, from the pictures. That was not the case. I returned them and purchased the 847v4, which I like much better.

I have this same shoe in v11 and LOVE it. I wanted to order another pair in a different color. Now, only v12 is available so I ordered that. The exact same size fits way bigger. I have an extra inch in front of my toe. So very weird. I am returning and ordering a half size down.

1080 v10 were the ultimate shoe: heel was perfect, gave up on v11, the heel was far too elevated and too wide. v12 runs large, the toe box is particularly long -- ordering a 1/2 size smaller, and will return both or one. I wear the shoe everyday - I mean I was absolutely committed to v10 - why they restyled the design, I'll never know.

Don't fit as well as my original 1080's. After wearing for a week I had to stop wearing because they hurt my feet so bad, unfortunately I can't even exchange for a different pair. Now I'm out a lot of money and no shoes.

Very comfortable shoes, with lots of padding. My only issue is that the base of the front of the shoe is very wide, making my feet look huge (I'm a size 8, but they look more like size 10)

Usual size is 8.5W, ended up returning the wide and purchasing 8.5 regular width. Still not happy with the fit. Use them for running / walking. A little heavy, bit loose. Not a favorite by any means, but can make them work.

The shoe is too bouncy and it hurst my ankle. I when I walk in it I feel unstable. This turned out not to be a good shoe for me.

This is my wife's sixth pair of fresh foam. She absolutely loves them but for the price, the soles west out way too soon! Some work needs to be put towards fixing this and they would be the best ever!

I have gone with the 1080 V for quite some time now. Seems as though they are not as PLUSH as usual? Did something change in material? Or process?
I work allot of hours at the restaurant, so I depend on these shoes to get me through, along with good inserts and good compression socks.
They just don't. feel as "bouncy" as they typically do.
Trust me, I change out my shoes 3 times a day
One pair for the kitchen, one pair for first shift, and my third pair for night shift.
I'm not getting that good feeling about these shoes :(
I don't like that NB went back to the old way of doing the back heel part either.
I will probably buy one more pair, to see if there is a difference? If not? Then I will go on a search to a different brand

Too narrow. Did not fit like a EE. Not sure why EE is different in all of their shoes.
