New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080 v13 Reviews

Runners describe the 1080 v13 as very soft and plush, loved for easy, recovery and slow long runs. The softness is also the main drawback: some find it mushy, unstable or short on energy return at faster paces. Durability is mostly good, though a few report early wear, and some find the toe box snug.
