Features
[Looking for the latest version? The men's New Balance Fresh Foam 1080 v12 is now available.]
The men's New Balance Fresh Foam 1080v11 delivers premium cushion and top-notch performance to enhance your training.
New Balance loaded the new 1080v11 with a full-length Fresh Foam midsole. The choice cushion feels soft and bouncy under your feet, and it provides the smoothest ride at any distance or pace.
Designers knit a dynamic upper for zones of stretch and structure. The stretchiness in the toe box accommodates different foot shapes, while the structured midsole ensures a locked-in fit.
In the New Balance Fresh Foam 1080v11 review, Fleet Feet runners say the Ultra Heel design feels like it molds around your foot for a good fit, and the soft cushioning remains lightweight for an easy ride.

New Balance Fresh Foam 1080 v11
These are one of my favorite shoes.
New Balance Is Back
Yes I am very happy with the new balance fresh foam 1080 shoes. The online customer service was exceptional with helping me select these shoes. As a middle-age runner I always have fond memories of running in the cushiony new balance shoes of the 90s. New balance is back with their traditional cushiony springy feel. The shoe has sufficient support for the middle distance miles that I log. Finally I do like the construction of the heel which hugs the foot without being too tight. I do find that I have less instances of road debris getting into the back of my shoes. Thanks again and congratulations to new balance. Eric
Great Shoes
Would buy again fit is great normal width is perfect pleanty of room in toe box
Roomy with some bounce
I have enjoyed the spacious toebox which is nice for my flat feet. I was looking for a little bit of cushioning which the shoes have provided but I didn't expect a little extra bounce. The energy return on these shoes has been a nice surprise. The only drawback is that there is slippage in the heel no matter how I tie the shoes. Strangely enough once I am running at a quicker pace the heel doesn't seem to slip as much; however I just can't get a good lock-down on the heel.
Great Comfort
I wear these for working out and to run around in Fit is true to size snug but not tight light weight I’m right at 6’ 270 - can wear them all day without sore feet. I have already purchased another pair
NB 1080 V10
I've been a runner for 23 years and tried a variety of shoe brands and styles. At 66 years old I really do my research before buying running shoes to assure the best fit comfort and control. This shoe is a workhorse and works well as my daily trainer. I'm on my fourth pair! Fleet feet Springfield Mo. is my favorite running store.
A Red Pair for FAther's Day!
My husband runs in these 1080 v11 and his last pair were the bright yellow color that nobody wanted but him. He likes bright colors if they're intense and positive. So for Father's Day I ordered him the red ones. He was delighted because the red is a bright color that goes well with all his black and silver running gear. Fresh running shoes make for a happy father.
2nd pair
2nd pair of these for me as an easy high mileage day shoe. The foam is great and still feels good after 300 miles. The laces occasionally hit the top of my foot weird and I have to re-tie mid run but that’s about it on the feel side. My only complaint is the plastic heel counter split on both shoes on my first pair and so far I shoe on this pair. It doesn’t impact the run but is irritating. The first pair was retired at 400 miles because the sharp edge was eventually poking through. I was very careful with this pair and always tied/untied them then off and on. I’ve read of other people with this problem as well. Hopefully I’ll get many more miles out of them before this becomes a comfort problem. Hopefully NB fixes this in the next version.
New Balance Review
These shoes have performed very well. I’ve purchased two pair in the past two months and have about 150 miles on each. They’re stable light & provide plenty of support & cushion. The sole has held up very well. I’m 5’10 155lbs.
