Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080v14

New Balance has a big problem with their men's sneaker! Every men's sneaker has a pinch point on the right side of the right sneaker right below the pinky toe! New Balance should bring back the mid hiking shoe. 481 V3 and put the fresh foam sold on that sneaker. It was the best!

To narrow. Material felt cheap and unsupportive.

the shoe seemed too small for my feetr. I dont wear wide shoes from other brands and purchased a size 11 as I always do. but this show size 11 was smaller and hard to get on my feet. the top cushion under the shoe lace was always being stuck which happens when the shoe is smaller. hope I can try another shoe with a wide sole or a 1/2" size larger but not gonna buy it online.

Style no longer matters to me; it's all about comfort. These shoes are the most comfortable I have purchased in a long time. There is plenty of cushioning in the heel (especially) and sole. I remove all of the insoles in my shoes and substitute orthotics, or, if M is really wide, I wear the orthotics on top of the insoles. Whether this was a one-off or not, the heel of this shoe is lower in relation to the pad of my foot than any other shoe that I own (perhaps with the exception of one Kizik style). Although it might not matter to some, this feature is wonderful for me. My back problems (fusions) and replaced knees feel noticeably better in this shoe.

a great shoe for walking if you have wider than normal feet

My spouse loves these classy sneakers. Just what he wanted and super comfortable with lots of support.

My husband did not try to wear these shoes until we left for a trip. It turns out that the inside of the shoes are defective or poorly finished off. He had difficulty walking due to the roughness of the seams (He did have socks on). It is now too late to return for a refund. But after purchasing New Balance for 30 years, we seem to have purchased a lemon.

I bought these for heel cushioning -- and they provide that in spades. The design causes wet toes easily (only fabric), but is otherwise fine.

Too Narrow & Too Short: For many years New Balance shoes in 9-4E have fit well. Not so with the 1080s. The shoes were both much too short and much too narrow. I doubt my foot has changed since my New Balance 877s in 9-4E continue to fit well. The increased foam in the 1080s felt nice, but they were so narrow I felt there was no reason to try a different size.

Nice and springy.

Needed to go to a wider width. The heel was to big in that wider width.

The heel was a little looser than I like but otherwise was a very comfortable wide tennis shoe

overal too snug

Great fit and great shoe.

Fit and size were great. I've been ordering and wearing New Balance 1080s for several years. I actually like how these look a little better than the previous model, which I thought looked extra big (but they were very comfortable as a running shoe). These look to me to be a little smaller but they have the same great fit and comfort as a running shoe.

Lack of side support - like walking on platform shoes. Really light and comfy BUT not enough side support so I "fell off" the insoles immediately the second I got on any uneven surface. Had to return.

I loved the cushioning for my prominent metatarsal bones that often result in calluses in hard bottom shoes. However, due to the severe slant on the outside of the toe box, my middle toes were scrunched and became painful even though I went with a longer shoe. I need a rounded toe on shoes due to my short toes and wide feet. These shoes were wide enough for my bunions due to going 1 full size larger than my preferred shoe length. My feet also looked wider than they are due to the large white sole extending beyond the shoe uppers. My orthotics for very high arches were supported by the shaped inside side of the shoes. By using all the provided lacing holes, I could keep the heels from being too loose.

So far so good 3 weeks in! Great cushioning without being too much. They fit as hoped for - and loved the speed of shipping !

To soft sadly

I wouldn't run in any other shoe as long as the 1080 is available.

I wear one pair for running approximately 20 miles/week. Instead of saving some money and ordering another pair of Fresh Foam X 1080v13s from Amazon, I pulled the trigger on the 1080v14s. I really enjoyed the super-cushioned, very comfortable ride of the v13s. Various reviews stated that the v14 was stiffer than the v13s. I'm about 50 miles into the v14s, and can confirm that they are indeed firmer than the previous iteration. The v14s, while still very comfortable and well-cushioned, are not as plush and pillowy underfoot as the v13s. I found sizing to be about the same as v13s, maybe a little tighter in the toe box, but not enough to exchange for the next width.

Exceptional running and everyday shoe with some caveats. Though likely intended to look lightly distressed (casual and worn), the textured look on the EVA sole (sides and sole) makes the shoes look too worn and unpolished, not a great look for a top of the line shoe. The off-white on the black is also dingy looking and doesn't seem to reflect the prestige positioning of the shoe. Durability of sole is a big question mark. The front of the shoe came unglued after a couple of weeks of very normal wear. Still, I wouldn't let these issues dissuade you from buying an exceptional shoe.
