The newest version has been fine-tuned to help your runs feel energetic, soft and effortless, making it one of the best running shoes out there.

Features
- Upper: A completely new upper gives you a plush and luxurious feel with a stretchy mesh that has zonal structure and support to feel great on your foot. There is also a gusseted tongue to wrap around your feet and keep you secure.
- Midsole: A lighter, softer and more energetic Fresh Foam X with Bio Eva cushioning has been elevated to help you perform your best. An updated rocker profile makes transitions smoother and toe-offs more energetic. The forefoot is more responsive and a bit more structured than previous versions to help those miles roll by.
- Outsole: NDurance rubber outsole is durable to keep up with your mileage. New Balance made it a little thinner to reduce the overall weight of the shoe and keep you ticking off those miles.

What's New
New Balance elevated the Fresh Foam X 1080 v13 to make your daily runs easier. A new Fresh Foam X compound is lighter and softer, while giving you more pop so your feet don’t sink into the shoe. A new midsole geometry rolls you forward for smoother transitions and gives you energetic toe-offs. The result is a reduced heel-to-toe drop from 8 mm in the v12 to 6 mm in the latest version.
A new mesh upper feels plush on your feet. It is a little stretchy, yet has zonal structure to keep your foot locked in over that cushioning and provide more structure and support. New Balance also thinned out the rubber coverage on the bottom of the shoe to decrease the weight.
Who It’s Best For
The New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080 v13 is a high-cushioned neutral shoe for anyone who wants a plush shoe for walking or running. From walking the dog to running a marathon, the 1080 v13 will make each run a little more fun.
Why You’ll Love It

Too small
Running in the1080 v14 for a few months and need new pair so I ordered 1080 v13 to save money. They were not the same in the toe box. Had to return.

Most Comfortable Shoe Ever Owned
This is easily the most comfortable running shoe I've ever worn. Last year I got the 1080 v12 and they were great but they didn't feel near as cushioned as the v13s. The v13s have made me feel like a more comfortable runner. There's something about them that make me feel like a true runner. I would say the size was a little different from the previous year however. I got size 11 for the v12s but this year I had to go up to a 11.5 for the v13. If these are still around when I need a new pair of running shoes I will easily pick up another pair.

Wrong item
Wrong sneaker sent. Was a lot of work to receive the wrong item. Confirmation showed my order correct but that's not the item sent.

Love NB
Love the feel of this shoe. The soles are just soft enough for comfort but still has the support needed.

Sizing has changed from older models
The 1080 has been my go to shoe over the past few years so I was excited for the new revamp! I ordered a 9 the same shoe I have worn with the older models and the toe box felt tight. After going up a half size I had the same issue. The top of the shoes was pushing down on top of my toes. I was pretty disappointed after all the excitement I had for these. Wish I could rate these higher but the sizing has changed with the new model. I’ll be searching for a new daily trainer
