New Balance Men's Unlaced Fresh Foam X 1080 V12 Running Shoe

Comfortable shoe way over priced.

Female 40's. Have been buying these from about V9 up. These went back to a more structured heal which allows me to just slip my foot in. I barely tighten the laces as I cannot stand pressure to to top of my foot or toes. Fabric is breathable, flexable, high arches and wonderful support otherwise. Like walking on clouds. Generally buy v10 and up now depending on size availability and if there is a sale. Work as a nurse on my feet all day. For hiking I tighten the laces or would walk out of them. Urban hiking... not enough traction/ankle support for true mountains but where these 90% of my life. Have ultra wide feet with a high arch. (4E) These took away all my chronic foot pain and was able to avoid another surgery for essentially arthritic nurse feet per the podiatrist. Love and will continue to buy. Try to get on sale as they are pricey, but worth it.

I took these kicks for a testiepooh myself, prior to passing them on to my son. They're really comfy, kinda like jogging' in the clouds, that is if you can handle the altitude without crying' the blues. Unfortunately, even these stylish, ultralight shoes couldn't convince Eli that track is fun. After two wears, they lay closeted, sulking in darkness with his world record aspirations. The shoes could've taken this kid places... Darn. If you like handsome, lightweight, ultra comfy walking or jogging, cobweb collecting, aspiration drowning shoes, these are the ones to buy. I have a discount on some used ones if you want!

I have always loved the 1080 running shoes. These are about the only style shoe I wear. I have a bunion on my foot and finding shoes that are comfortable and fit well has become more and more difficult for me. I was looking to purchase another pair and the women's versions were not available in my size. I decided to order the men's shoe specifically in this color because they were marked down to over half off. I am so glad it did! They are very lightweight, provide great support. They can be washed in my washing machine and air dried with no issues. The color was not necessarily my favorite, but they fit well and at the price they were a great purchase.

A bit about me, I was looking for shoes to walk in. I use walking for exercise and the shoes I was using were ok but caused pain in certain parts of my feet. I needed to find a good pair of shoes that allowed me to walk many miles and not end up with sore feet. So let me start with the bad. These don't come in XX-wide. New Balance is known for its wide shoes, but for any of their more athletic/runner shoes, they seem to max out at X-Wide. I can wear X-Wide, but I usually end up having to buy a size up and even then they just aren't as comfy for me as an XX-wide. If these came in XXwide, I think I would give them 5 stars. My next negative, after my first walk outside, I noticed a tear in the foam of the shoe. This makes me question how durable these will be in the long run if this happened after one walk. I've done many outside walks since then and noticed no other issues so hopefully they will last at least the year. The last negative I will note is that the original pair I ordered came with an indent on the front of the shoe. This caused some irritation in my toe. I hoped I could stretch it back into shape but that didn't really work. After a few walks, I decided to just return that pair and get another. The second pair I got was perfect. Comfort-wise, they are some of the best shoes I've walked in. When I saw reviews people were talking about how plush/springy they were. I was worried I'd feel like I was walking on the moon, but it wasn't really like that. It was definitely a bit mushier feeling that my day-to-day shoes, but not in a bad way. They provided a lot of cushion between my foot and the ground, to the point the pain I had in the front of my feet while walking large distances virtually disappeared. And the bit of extra spring you do get walking in them for sure decreased my per-mile time by 15-20 seconds. That could also be because I wasn't in pain so I was able to walk faster though. I've noticed a few reviews here mention these run big. For me, I felt like maybe they ran a tad small. While I normally can get away with a 9.5 xwide, I think a 10 may have worked better. Hopefully, New Balance extends the widths of these shoes and makes xx-wide, but even if they don't I think I'll need to buy another pair once these wear out. I can't imagine trying to walk long distances in the cheaper/standard cross-training or walking shoes after walking in these.

I have never worn a more comfortable shoe. These hold up well to abuse, and feel fantastic. I absolutely love using these for the gym, or running. Every day use feels like walking on clouds. I love New Balance, and they hit a home run with these shoes. They fit as expected, so order true to size. They won't break down quickly like other shoes, and look nice for casual, and even a dressier casual.

As I have worn new balance for the last 25 years, these are exactly the same fit with the perfect quality craftsmanship of new balance. They are comfortable lightweight, breathable, and provide hours and hours of support without causing achy feet or sore arches. The color scheme is it a little funky, and makes for a good conversation as it is no longer the boring old brown, black or white with Velcro straps that are parents and more. The fact that new balance put so much effort into making the shoe fit and work properly as opposed to celebrity marketing really makes me feel the value when I wear it for a long day

Beautiful and fits perfectly
