New Balance Men's Fresh Foam 1080 V11 Running Shoe

This particular shoe felt good while running on a track (gravel surface) with minimal impact on each stride. If you reference my picture, you can see where the issue with friction occurs. The outside ankle bone is irritated by the low design of the shoes material. This might be isolated to certain runners with particular feet, I’m not sure. It’s not a manufacturer’s fault that one shoe can’t accommodate the vast types of feet. So I would frankly pay attention to details in design and make your own judgement. I am deciding to keep this shoe and make slight adjustments (cutting) to that particular area. Thank you!

At first heel felt odd. Did a mile on treadmill and heel fit incredible as does every part of this NB 1080v11Like running and walking on a cloud. I researched this shoe for days due to getting shin splints years ago and I believe these shoes will aid in preventing those horrible things. I ordered a Brooks shoe at same time to compare. Which I returned. This NB1080v11 fits my foot perfectly. I was using NB 680v5 size 10.5 so I ordered the 1080v11 same size.The top of toe box has a very stretchy weave. The Brooks toe box had a weave but it buckled instantly. This 1080v11 is snug on sides but really forget you're wearing shoes. Very light. Take my OCDapproved researched decision and grab a pair of these.

I'm not doing this review based off the shoe. These shoes are used. First off it was shipped in a amazon shoe box. Didnt come in the original new balance box. Secon the bottom of the shoes are dirty and has scuff marks which means they have been worn. I didnt even try them on. I am not paying this price for used shoes.

I've been looking for a running shoe that offered both heel and front foot padding when running.This shoe delivers 100%. As an avid runner ( 10 miles a week) my metartarsalgia ( front pads) where always aching.I took these babies out. Gave them a good 3 mile test.ZERO.Zero foot pain. I recommend these 1000%

This is what I wrote in my first review."I am extremely flat-footed as well as having very wide feet. I have to use custom-made orthotics in my shoes to help with the flat-footedness and the issues I have from that condition. I am also an avid walker and sometimes throw in some light jogging from time to time and have had problems for a long time with the bottom of my feet burning after about 25 minutes walking, even sometimes getting blisters. I have tried numerous types of shoes and after a week, this is the first pair which has helped the problem. They fit great and are very comfortable".It's been about 5 months now and I like these so much, I have now purchased a second pair. I love them. Having regard to the condition of my feet, these are the very best sneakers I have bought in many, many years ...... BY FAR.

Bought these for walking exceeding and a bit of jogging. However, the first one I bought was defective. There is a stiff inner material that wraps around the heel. In the left shoe this material was misplaced. It was much lower the on the right shoe. It was obvious that something was wrong and I thought it was my sox. Adjusted, them replaced my sox and the problem was still noticeable. After feeling around (see the picture) it became obvious that the material on the left shoe was placed much lower than on the right shoe. A defect. Not acceptable for walking or jogging. So… I sent them back for an exchange…. I received a another pair and on the next day I tried them on. The defect is on this pair also not as pronounced as in the previous but definitely noticeable by the back of my foot and feeling around it. I will return these of a refund. I believe during the manufacturing process some one is using the right-shoe-form to attack the stiff material to the left shoe or there is one form that is able to aline the stiff material to the right shoe but not the left. I do not believe it is an automated process since on the two pairs I tried the stiff material on the left shoes were both attached improperly but they were not at the exactly positionally the same. End result they were both defective. Not acceptable, especially at this price. I will shop for this sneaker at a local shoe store to determine if all these are defective or IRREGULARS are being sold as perfect shoes. I hope someone at NB reads this and fixes the problem because the shoes seem very nice otherwise.

Having previously ran with version v8 and v9 I had high hopes for this version since v10 fit was a flop. This shoe resembles the lastest version of the Beacon which I own and is one of the best fitting shoe from the NB line but lacks the cushioning for a long run shoe. So the V11 upper is very soft and breathable hugging the foot without any detectable hot spots. The heel is not quite the same as the beacon, a bit looser. But not by much. I am able to run without any movement in the heel cup. Because of the heel flair they are easy to put on ( I use elastic laces) now to the sole... the best cushioning ever for the 1080, hands down. Super soft.! Overall these shoes deserve a 4.5 stars.There is a quality issue inside the tongue of the shoe. An overlay poorly sewn where the tongue attaches to the shoe. At this price point I would not expect this. I shall say that it doesn’t bother me in any way so it’s just a finishing issue more than anything else. If the heel fit would have been like the Beacon I would have given it 5 stars. I will buy again

As a runner with freakishly large feet, these are a godsend as they come in wide and double wide fitting. As soon as I put these on I knew they were going to be a hit and I chucked my On Clouds in the bin. I then set 6 PR's on Strava on my first run. Very recommended.

These are now my running shoes of choice. The sole profile and the heel padding has greatly reduced my niggling foot and knee injuries and allows me to keep running consistently without needing to take 1-2 weeks off every now and then to recover from this or that. And the price was pretty competitive (at the time of order, at least). On the down side, I ordered a size 10 and received a pair at size 10.5, which the seller claimed was an error on the page, but they fit fine so I kept them. (That's a minor gripe with the seller, not the shoes.)

These were amazing to begin with - I'm diabetic and take good care of my feet, I looked for a shoe with extra padding on the soles and these really provide that, with superb support and a lightweight shoe allowing free movement. I walked about a million steps in them and then the inner wall of the right-hand shoe collapsed so that my foot rolled out of it on walks. Very disappointing for an expensive shoe but maybe they'd done their time! They lasted c. 3 months though which strikes me as a high daily cost!

Design , look, color are excellent,fitting is also goodBut the main issue is comfort levelIts mentioned fresh foam , but it wont feel soft and comfortableBut its very hard foam

Mid life crisis health kick caused me to buy these. Knackered knees dictated cushioned shoes. The price of these almost caused me a heart attack (£130), but I must admit, I wished I'd made the leap much earlier.These running shoes are SOOO comfy.They have given me a new lease of life and allowed me to take up running with little to no knee issues (which I was getting with my knackered 20 year old trainers).Worth every penny for the benefits, and I'm now over 2 stone lighter.
