[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 1080v11 Review:

The 1080 legacy continues with New Balance's updated iteration of a cushiony classic. An updated upper for added support meshes (pun intended) with the soft and supportive Fresh Foam midsole.
Fleet Feet reviewers took to the streets to put the 1080v11 to work. Here's what they thought.

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.
First time buyer
Stopped in Myrtle Beach store while visiting to look. Got an xray review of foot and tried on several shoes. The manager ( I believe that's who I was working with) was very helpful. Found a pair I liked but not in the color I wanted. The manager allowed me to order the shoes on the website, since she could not order them herself. Not sure of company policy. I also got an insert which she cut to size for when my shoes were delivered to me in Maryland. It may have been my error; I thought I was going to receive a copy of the exam findings which she went over with me. Again very happy with the personnel at the store and the shoes I ordered. I now have less knee discomfort. Ok to publish if my last name not used
