It’s commonly used to help athletes run more efficiently and to identify movement related problems for people with injuries who are seeking new running shoes.The 1080 is the flagship of the the New Balance trainers line, and will go against similar shoes from other companies. While running, it’s not as bad, but it's still slipping and annoying when it’s all you can think about every step. The bootie construction removes the need for a tongue and swathes you in a sock-like fit; it conforms to the shape of your foot for a supportive and comfortable fit. They allow your natural motion to flow, while still offering a snug fit and a cushioned feel underfoot.

By the time a company has gotten past 10 editions of the same model, you know they have found something worth repeating.The New Balance Fresh Foam women’s collection includes the 1080v12s and the 1080v13s – both of which are renowned running shoes.

Top shelf … whoever is rating these is wrong, specs wrong and toe box is actually wider than normal. I wore them the other day for a speedier session and I also found my big toe came off the edge of the sole. Now, the issue I have is comparing them to some of the best non-plated 2020 offerings and where does it stack up?

If there isn’t enough room for the foot to breathe then it will cause friction against the inside of the shoe and eventually lead to blisters.
