Womens New Balance Fresh Foam x 1080 v14, Blue / 6.5

OMG!!!! These things are absolutely amazing! I always thought all the excitement around these high class shoes was just an excuse to charge an all and a leg, but these things are worth one of my arms or legs!They make you feel like you're walking on air. I was told Hoka's were the best, but they don't even compare to these! Every time my foot hit the pavement, there was zero impact on my knees! I may even be able to start jogging again which I have missed since my knees and hips gave me so many problems!Try them and you'll be a believer too!!!

I ‘settled’ on the women’s size 9 1/2 D (wide). I always wear shoes in a size 9, usually in wide, but this depends upon how generous a shoe’s fit is. I have a wide (boney, not plump) toe box with a large big toe. I purchased these Fresh Foam X 1080v14 to wear at work all day (retail). These are certainly squishy with plenty of cushion with every step, however there are three main reasons I have offered a low rating: one, the footbed height is very shallow. Size 9D was long enough but vertically way too tight on the toes, so I got the 9 1/2 D, which is a tad long but offered a bit more vertical toe space. Second, they lack good arch support. Third, there’s insufficient sole support for over pronation. The shoe’s squishy soft foundation feels unstable and is difficult ... MoreI ‘settled’ on the women’s size 9 1/2 D (wide).

At the end of each work day, I was both surprised and disappointed that my feet, ankles, knees and hips ached—and I have zero health issues!! I was hopeful these Fresh Foam X 1080v14’s would offer comfort and good support, but they did not work for me. I’d gladly return these for a refund if I could (they are quite pricey), but once they’re worn a few times, they’re non-returnable. I have since ordered a different model of New Balance shoes to try.

After trying these 1080's in another color, I ordered the 1080V14 through a New Balance store. I own 4 pairs of 1080V12 shoes and love them. Only problem was my heel was beginning to hurt. After walking in these shoes and playing pickleball, I'm now having pain above my smaller toes (worst on the left). Apparently, this new version is too tight in the upper. There used to be more room and I never had this issue. I hope NB reverses this trend and goes back to a roomier upper. For now, I'll have to keep these and just wear them on occasion.
