Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080v14

These shoes were shipped without a box and seemed used. The shoes did not fit well. I felt unstable.

Good arch support and overall support for the midfoot and forefoot areas, but there isn't much support for the heel area. It feels slightly unstable like I'm going to fall backward and the shoe is quite heavy. For those reasons I returned it.

Great cushion under foot which is great for running around all day. The shoe is narrower than most, but not uncomfortably so on my foot. It may be tight for others.

Wheee, I *finally* have a pair of narrow running shoes that are not black or a dull gray. Manufacturers may make each year’s shoes in 15-20 colors but if they even make a Narrow width (most don’t), they typically offer it in only Black or gray. I’ve always worn the Brooks Adrenaline GTS in 9.5 Narrow, which, with my Aetrex orthotics, fit perfectly and provide the stability my overpronation requires. But now I’ve found NB Fresh Foam in Narrow. The pale yellow is almost white but I’m thrilled. The NB run almost a half size longer than the Brooks so I could have worn a 9N in the NB, but the 9.5N is still fine. I wear the Aetrex orthotics in the NB as well. The shoes are comfortable, light, and supportive. It took a little while to adjust to the cushioning - at first I felt a little wobbly with so much cushioning but my feet and ankles adjusted quickly. I won’t give up the Brooks Adrenaline but am very pleased with the addition of NB Fresh Foam 1080s. And did I mention that they’re not black? :)

Toe box to narrow

This shoe made my foot chunky. I thought the color was okay however the excess sole made my feet clumsy. Not very appealing. They have fair cushioning; however moderate to no arch support. I ordered an 8.5 wide, unfortunately the shoe was narrow. Cutting back on toe area is a NO NO.
