New Balance Women’s Fresh Foam X 1080 V13 Running Shoe

Let me tell you that I am hard to fit, have a wide foot with a high arch and multiple foot issues including recent Achilles surgery and plantar fasciitis. I’ve tried on and owned an obscene amount of shoes and can never find anything that doesn’t flare up my fasciitis after even a gentle short walk. I wore these to the airport and had an extremely tight connection between flights. I’m amazed to say that I had no pain in the arches, soles or heels of my feet after that crazy speed walk! The cushioning is seriously next level. I feel like I’m walking on bouncy clouds. I wore these all day every day for a week long vacation almost right out of the box with no blisters or break in needed. They fit me in my normal size of 9.5 wide. The little tab at the back of the heel is so cushioned that it feels just great with zero rubbing and no hard edges. There’s no doubt in my mind I’ll be buying these on repeat when they finally wear out. Like I said, I’ve tried them all including Hokas and I will swear by these til the day I die. The color is gorgeous and goes with everything. They do show dirt easily, but that’s to be expected when you buy a light colored shoe. These are super super light too.

Love the color and love the feeling of walking on clouds!

I love these sneakers! I’m on my feet for 16-18 hours/day, and I walk/run a lot, plus I have a non-union fracture of the sesamoid bone in one foot, so comfort is number one for me. I had worn Adidas Ultraboost’s almost exclusively for the past few years, but their quality and comfortability have dropped significantly and I’ve been desperately looking for a replacement. These New Balance Fresh Foam x 1080 are it, but better. I replaced the insoles with my orthotics and immediately went on a 4 mile walk without breaking them in at all and they were perfect. So comfortable, and I felt like I had a little more bounce in my step. I’m already looking at another pair for work. I’m so glad I found them.

A runners shoe story.
I used to be an Altra Escalante girl w Curex insoles until a foot injury. (The Altra Escalante is super light weight w a wide toe box … I’ve had the black toe before….and I’ve always hated a heavy shoe.) After weeks of Physical Therapy, my PT suggested more cushion and stability.

I moved on to the Brooks Glycerin GTS 20. This shoe blew my mind! It checked all the boxes & I no longer needed the Curex inserts. I did however; have to buy toe re-enforcers as I quickly put a hole in my shoe. I went thru a pair, bought the same pair directly from Brooks in different color as replacements and for whatever reason the fit and feel was gone! I was baffled. So I moved on.

I did alot of research trying to find the next shoe. This shoe the New Balance 1080 was sold out everywhere so I did the Amazon try before you buy. The comfort is unmatched, the ride is amazing. It’s like running on clouds. I know they say foam shoes don’t last but the way this feels… I would gladly shell out the money for this fit and comfort. Only down side is the laces are super cheap.

Notes. I wear a 6.5 wide. That’s half a size up and despite the fleet feet guy telling me to go to a 7, I always lose the support in a 7 and feel like most of my foot is swimming in the shoe.

I do plan on buy new laces and toe reinforcers just in case.

I run a 5k every other day on average. Mostly pavement and sidewalks. Midsole strike w a little pronation & 1 arch is higher than the other.

I do wear Feetures or OOFOS socks. Expensive but have a lifetime guarantee. Your feet will thank you.

Most shoes and OTC insoles are designed for those with a neutral gait or overpronators, who roll their feet inward as they walk because this is apparently more common. I am a supinator or underpronator, in that I put more weight on the outer edge of the foot as I walk. People with high arches or insteps are often underpronator. You are likely an underpronator if your shoes show wear faster in the outer edge of your shoes. I saw these shoes recommended for supinators, among others, but these were the only ones recommended that came in wide, that I need, The shoes are working out great, no pain, though I am also inserting a Wedge Heel Straightener Insert by Pedaq, which only help at the heel. If you are a supinator, these are great shoes. I am looking for an all black or gray pair for the winter!
