Customer Reviews
Awesome!After switching from Hokas to Sauconys and back to Hokas Bondi 8 & Clifton 9s I tried New Balance for the 1st time and I love them. I’m 69/169 lbs with more than 50 yrs running (I’m a tennis coach, formerly a player) my knees both have osteoarthritis so cushion is very important and these have more than Hokas and the upper is softer too.

I don't love this shoe...I really wanted to love these shoes, but I don't. The shoe itself is very comfortable. It has enough support. The only problem I have with this shoe is the heel. It feels like it dips down and it changes my gait. I will not be buying these again.

Best feeling shoes for easy runsThis has become my everyday shoe, I wear it for all of my easy runs (which are usually done on the road) and it feels amazing. I barely even feel the pounding from the road when wearing these. I have on multiple occasions wore these on some trail runs and they did very well there too. I also do not think that I have ever loved a running shoe as much as I do these. My only issue is that I seem to need to replace them between 350 and 400 miles (though I think you could get more if you were to rotate shoes on a more day to day basis. These are definitely the shoes to wear on easy runs of any distance in my true opinion.

Love I had both my knees replaced in August 2023. I ran a half marathon 7 months later with these shoes. Did amazingly! I am a seasoned long distance runner for 45 yrs. Hokas were my shoe of choice ever since they first appeared on the market years ago. After my surgery, the Cliftons felt floppy to me. They never truly fit snugly. These 1080's do and they are much more comfortable than hokas for me. Springy.

Comfy cushionFits true to size, I wear a size 10.5 in Nike Invincible, Hoka Mach5. Laces fit secure and snug while easy to adjust with no issues. Weight is also nice, don’t really notice it on foot. I have 85 miles on my pair and durability seems good so far. Use mainly for longer/slower runs but it can pick up for tempo pace efforts easily.
Super LemonThe Fresh Foam X 1080 v13 delivers poor energy return in a sloppy, inconsistently cushioned manner. It's like driving on tires that are nearly flat, only worse because the tires aren't uniformly almost-flat. I ran in the Fresh Foam Beacons for a couple years and considered it one of the best shoes of all time. I tried these as a replacement when the Beacon line was discontinued. The wrong line was discontinued. In the age of super shoes, this is a super lemon.
Comfortable but one problemI'm not sure if anyone else experienced this.....but the sock liner rubs against my heel. I'm going to try another set of inserts but I shouldn't have to do that.
This shoe is freshI always like it when I purchase a shoe that really works for me. This is my first time running in the 1080 series. This Fresh Foam formula is fabulous. Very cushioned and responsive heel and forefoot. I usually prefer an 8-10 drop, but these seem to work just fine.
Well done New Balance.
heel way too softI am stuck running the 1080s because I wear a 2A and that is pretty much my only option out there. It has always been a great shoe for me. I much preferred the v9 and 10s heel cup, but the ride has always been outstanding. The 1080 v13 are much too soft. Your heel sinks significantly when you hit the ground. I have ran for 40+ years and have never had a calf issue. After about 2 weeks in this shoe I have a mild calf strain. I am positive it is because of the softness of the heel and the amount you sink into the shoe when your foot strikes the ground. Also very odd, I had to order a full size larger than what I typically wear. Usually a 7.5, sometimes I have had to go up to an 8 but never an 8.5.
Very HappyThese are significantly batter than the V12’s. They are light, supportive and comfortable. These shoes are great on long runs.
Most Comfortable Running (and walking) ShoeI find myself making excuses to wear this shoe anywhere I go. Best running shoe I’ve worn.
Love these daily trainersI got these by participating in a running research study and have put over 400 miles in them. I have loved them for everything from easy miles to tempo and long runs. I find them very comfortable at all paces, and they fit my narrow feet well.
Lovin emBeen cycling a pair of 1080's since v11 with that weird heel cup. Loved the comfort and feel of the upper on the v12 but the midsole just felt "eh" to me. These v13's are awesome. Foam is super squishy but rebounds nice so it doesn't feel like you're running on a marshmallow. Love the mesh upper (can't wait till the knit upper trend dies). Just as smooth and comfortable as the v12 but I think a touch nicer still. Plus these things feel light on the feet.
Honestly couldn't be much happier. Fit was true to size (had to size up for first time in v12's like everyone else). I alternate these with the new Nike Infinity Runs which I also like, but these have a totally different feel. I think NB really nailed the model on this iteration.
For reference I'm 5'7" 163lbs working my way up from 30mpw. Have done probably 50 miles+ in the shoe on everything from trails to roads. The foam feels better on the roads where the cushion and rebound shine. On uneven trails, the midsole can feel a touch unstable overall but nothin to hesitate over.
Super Comfy, Stable and Lightgreat for easy, daily mileage -- I have about 30 miles in the shoe.. like it better than the Nimbus 25 .
WHY???I've ran in the 1080s since V6 I believe. It has been my go to for training and racing up to the marathon distance for years. For context, I'm 6', 170 # neutral runner that logs appr 30-35 mpw. Since going to the 1080s I've been pleased that, finally a shoe company doesn't continuously change a shoe from year to year... until now. Every time I get a new pair of 1080s I know what the feel will be. I just got the new V13s and what a disappointment! With the exception of the upper, the whole shoe has changed dramatically and for me, not for the better. The heel feels as if it totally collapses under foot and feels too squishy. after 2 runs, 6-7 miles in the shoe has lost any bounce or life it had which wasn't much to begin with for a new shoe. It just feels there is no structure to the shoe now. The positive is the upper has mostly stayed the same soft flexible feel it has been. Even though it's lighter, it doesn't feel like it due to a non responsive toe off. With the higher stack and lower drop it seems to have moved into the boutique shoe category as many have. Maybe a good walker but lost it's appeal as a solid running shoe.
Once my v12s run out I'm back to searching again.
Love these shoes so farI'm only about 15-20 miles into using these shoes, but I love them so far. The foam feels very soft and cushiony, without feeling like you're sinking into the shoe. I also own and enjoy running in the v12s, which made me want to try these out, and I like the v13s even a little bit more (so far). I'm sorry to hear others have had issues with the toebox, but I've had no issues in either the v13 or v12.
Agree with the previous reviewer…I love the feel of the foam. Very soft. However, I agree with the previous reviewer; the toebox is way too narrow. I had hoped these would work out, but I will have to return them as I cannot wear them.
Loved v12...Buyer beware, the v13 has a narrower toe box than the 12. I loved the 12 and looked forward to the new upper. As soon as I slipped them on my big toe felt like it was getting shoved inward. Too bad I have to return them. I wear a size 10.
