Product Information

Price comparisons are based on the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price ("MSRP") or Original Selling Price. Actual sales may not have occurred at this price. The heel counter is very odd, it dips in the middle and the upper portion is just foam and this stretchy neoprene-like material. It acts as a low heel cup to keep your heel from moving laterally, which it does, but you sure do get a ton of heel slip vertically. The lacing structure features oval lace holes, which fit the flat laces well, but the holes are vertical and on odd angles. Extra weiche Dämpfung und erhöhte Zwischensohle: Jeder Mensch hat eine eigene, spezielle Fußform – das Obermaterial des Fresh Foam X 1080 v13 wurde jedoch so designt, dass es sich jedem Fuß anschmiegt. Durch die besondere Dämpfung fühlen sich die Schritte leicht an, Sehnen, Muskeln und Gelenke werden zudem geschützt.

If this shoe was evaluated solely based on comfort it would be 5 stars, but it's a running shoe and it misses the mark by quite a bit. Superb comfort To play devil's advocate here though, the heel slip issues were a much bigger concern just walking around in them where the slip is most pronounced. While running, it’s not as bad, but it's still slipping and annoying when it’s all you can think about every step. Heel tab doesn’t work Fresh Foam midsole cushioning is precision engineered to deliver an ultra-cushioned, lightweight ride This soft material made my foot work extra hard to balance which led to a bit of cramping at first. I settled into them and they got better over time but they remain a touch wobbly because of the bouncy, soft springy midsole. Heel slipping in New Balance Fresh Froam 1080v11 We put this in the freezer at 0 degrees F for 60 minutes and the shoe is 92.48% stiffer when cold. Flawless gripDavid: "I love the upper on this shoe. The forefoot has plenty of stretch knit material for toe splay, the midfoot is roomy and comfortable. The new heel also made it easy to slip on and off without causing any issues as I ran. I thought the last version was a bit too narrow in the midfoot, but this version corrected that issue." The area around the toe where the upper connects to the midsole and all the way through the midfoot and up into the logo is not stretchy at all. Too flexible on all fronts

The New Balance 1080 v11 is better suited for longer efforts but does not scream speed (nor is it designed to). Although not as bouncy as other New Balance shoes, the Fresh Foam X midsole does infuse a lively little bounce to every stride that contributes to a smooth ride.

The outsole is pretty cool on the 1080v11. It’s almost a lugged design rather than a flat road trainer, and I dig this.
