New Balance Women's Fresh Foam X 1080 V14 Running Shoe

Fit:Nothing has ever fit me as well as these shoes. I'm so relieved to finally have a pair that fits and that I can comfortably wear for hours on end. Shoe quality:I'm not really an expert, but the quality seems great. They're sturdy, comfortable, easy to clean, the support is wonderful.

Overall: I read that NB is great for people with wide feet, and after trying "wide" shoes in three other brands, I can say that the difference is by a mile. I've never spent so much on shoes (I don't think these are unreasonably priced, I'm just new to taking care of me feet 😅), but I have zero regrets and will *continue* to pay as much and more for New Balance. 10/10.

If you have high arches - these are the shoes for you. I mean I’m not a doctor but I have super high arches and if I wear flat shoes or anything without support for over an hour, the middle of my feet hurrrrrrrrt. Badly.I have ON Clouds, I like them. But not for walking long distances or stretches of time in. I tried the infamous Hokas. I actually went to the shoe store to finally “buy into” (literally) the Hoka hype bc so many people rave about them. Their cushion, their support, how long they can wear them throughout the day - and several of my friends are either in the medical industry and on their feet all day, and/or marathon runners. But they just weren’t doing it for me. I honestly do not get the Hoka hype. I really don’t. It felt like they were squeezing my feet from the sides inwards? Idk how to explain it. And I have a normal width foot. And I tried on several variations of that brand. I mentioned this to the gentleman helping me with my shoe selection. I told him I have really high arches, my ON Clouds were not cutting it, and I just was not into any of the Hokas enough to buy them. He suggested the New Balance 1080x14s. I half-way rolled my eyes thinking NB is the official Dad-shoe and I would have to go get some appalling socks to go with them lol. But agreed to try one on with a Hoka on the other foot.THE SECOND I took my first step in the New Balances I verbally exclaimed out loud “oh noooooooooo 😫😫 not the dad shoe!” Yes. The dad shoe. The amount of cushion, the arch support, they’re lightweight, they come in like 15 color options or something like that, I was sold. This blue pair is my second pair that I bought immediately (one pair for the gym which isn’t really necessary but they feel so amazing I told myself they were) and this second pair for running trails, walking, etc.The dads know what’s up. Sorry for all the jokes I made at your expense all these years. Carry on.

They exceeded all my expectations! First of all, they arrived even earlier than the estimated delivery date, always a great surprise. As soon as I put them on, I could tell they were made for me. The fit is absolutely perfect, true to size, and no break-in period needed. But the real magic? The comfort. It honestly feels like I’m walking on clouds, so light, cushioned, and supportive.

These feel great! I wish they were just a tad wider in the toe box but otherwise they fit perfect. I walk/jog 3-4 miles almost daily in them and they are showing wear after only a few months - but that’s quite a few miles so it’s not totally unexpected.

Not as comfy as my other new balances. Chose another pair instead of this one.

Insanely comfortable. I love these shoes so much! I had trouble finding shoes that had the comfort of my hoka Clifton’s but I wanted a different looking shoe. These are perfect! They are very “squishy” so if you’re looking for a more stable or structured shoe these may not be the ones for you.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I bought these to replace my worn out Altras. I'm between a 9.5-10 depending on the brand and I'm glad I went with the 10 wide. They're comfortable, cushy and attractive. I'd buy these again when I need new ones.

It’s like walking on clouds! I have torn the MCL in both my knees, even just walking is painful for my entire body. I buy new sneakers almost weekly in search of comfort. My physical therapist tells me New Balance are the best for knee stability. These take the cake. I wear a size 8.5 and I ordered an 8.5 they’re true to size. Thry really support my foot, ankle and knees. Of course I wish the price was more economical but honestly they are worth the price tag. I actually walked a few blocks today, mind you I usually have to pop pain killers after 1 block. Love this specific color and Would but these In more colors.
