New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080 v13 Reviews

They do not run but have put roughly 500-600 miles of walking into their 1080 v13.

At 500 km, a 210 lb runner finds the 1080 v13 great for comfortable slow miles, with minimal wear: built to last.

With 350 and 150 miles on two pairs, a runner finds the 1080 v13 has held up great as their go-to recovery shoe.

A big redo over the v12: a new upper that no longer loosens, slightly better rain grip, and very little wear at ~80 miles. The upper runs a little hot.

Super-plush, protective comfort for easy and recovery miles. Kieran found it less lively and versatile than the v12. Steve says it's still his favourite trainer after 400 miles, with no upper splitting and good tread.

Ran about 500 km in the 1080 v13 and the foam and outsole still had life, but they gave it up because it was too soft for their taste.

About 300 km into the 1080 v13, past where shoes usually bottom out for them, it still has plenty of pop; they loved it enough to buy a second pair.

With about 300 miles in the shoe, mostly easy and recovery runs plus long runs up to 15-16 miles, it felt very comfortable and soft without feeling mushy or changing their stride, and the foam held up well. The outsole rubber wore down on the outer side from heel striking, there is no pop for faster running, and it is the priciest in its class. They suggest it for easy days, recovery and everyday wear, and a firmer shoe for anyone wanting speed.

After 505 miles at 60-70 mpw, a marathoner likes the 1080v13's softness, finding it supportive and bouncier than earlier 1080s.

At 100+ miles a lightweight runner finds the 1080v13 holding up great, with a better outsole than expected and a plush ride.
