300 Mile Review: New Balance 1080v13

The New Balance 1080v13 is a highly cushioned everyday running shoe designed for comfort. When I first added it to my rotation after my half marathon in October, I was concerned about the durability given the sparingly placed rubber and super soft foam. However, I found that I've been reaching for the 1080 consistently over the past week on any days when I'm not training fast in a plated shoe. Here is my experience with the shoe at 300 miles.

Just like you, my preference for softness is very dependent on where I am in my training, but also during the season. I tend to go for more soft, cushioned, stable shoes during winter, while summer runs tend to be in more agile trainers. I run more asphalt during winter due to snow, but other than that it's just the vibe 😂

Hi ! does the upper expend a bit lenghtwise ? I’ve purchased these in my regular size, but my big toe is close to the end on my left foot (which is quite longer than my right one). I’ve just done a quick test and I could feel my big toe slightly touching the end of the toebox when I ran, I was wondering if it does extend a bit with time.I have very narrow foot so I think it wouldn’t be a good option to go up half a size.

fantastic review of 1080. Been running in 1080 for 2 months and love it. However, I just ran a half marathon yesterday wearing 1080. This race has very steep up and down hills in the first 3 miles. In uphills, I immediately felt my calf laboring hard due to the high heel of 1080 and quads soreness after the race due to steep downhills. This is the price you pay when you wear a max-cushion shoe. Knowing what I know now, I wish I had worn 880 which is also a cushion shoe but not as "high heel" as 1080 (37mm/31 vs. 31/23).

@supwell 2 ай бұрын

Thank you and congrats on the half yesterday! My new balance shoe of choice for a half marathon if you don't want a racing shoe would be the SC trainer v2 - it's soft and comfortable like the 1080 but has a lot more speed assistance from the bouncier foam and curved rocker platform

@@robertwu8092 it has a carbon fiber plate that helps stabilize the foam and makes it a lot easier on the legs. I haven't had any calf soreness running in that shoe. Alternatively, if you want a shoe with a lower stack height, the new balance rebel v4 is a great option - around 30mm in the heel and a lighter than either the 1080 or sc trainer v2

I'm impressed with the durability. It's better than I would have thought but too soft for me. I would think a good alternative would be the Novablast for those wanting something similar but with more versatility. It's about the same weight but will be more responsive; I had v2 & v3 and I did not find them sluggish.

I’ve always viewed NB as the truly cushioned shoe brand on the market. Never got the hype around Hoka as they just feel firm to me in comparison. The 1080v13 felt like the closest shoe I’ve felt to the feeling I had felt in the Nike Invincible 2’s. Phenomenal sink in feeling, and very glad to hear durability isn’t an issue either. I usually have a soft enough footstrike to take my shoes to 500 miles, so I’m glad to see the foam is more durable than I had feared it might be.

@supwell 5 ай бұрын

Thank you! I am 6' 2" and tend to run with a lot of force so I look for shoes that can stand up to that and can definitely help. The Saucony endorphin shift 3 is a great max cushioned shoe for bigger runners - it's super supportive and has a firmer foam that makes it great for everyday runnign as well as some faster pace. The brooks ghost max is another good choice that's a little softer and more forgiving than the shift 3 if you want more of that traditional max cushion feel. As for speed shoes I've been loving the Boston 12 for fast workouts. And the TYR Valkyrie Elite which I just tested on a 22 miler this weekend looks like it's going to be a top race day choice for bigger runners - will be posting the full review on that one in the next few weeks. Lmk if any specific questions or if you're looking for a specific type of shoe

I‘m sure about it 🙏 For me running is the reason why I was born into that world in that time 🙌 I understood that quite a few months ago 😃 It was like an enlightenment to me 😍🔥💪

If your looking to test something to possibly replace the new balance 1080, i just got a pair of the puma forever run nitro and i was really surprised by how responsive and cushy it was. Not to mention i got them for 79.99 from the outlets but also online for that price too. Im a 11.5 but grabbed 12. Also very stable with puma grip dam things will last forever (hence the name lol). I tried nike invincible and react infinity and returned both, just to much slop for me and heal issues. But the second i tried on the puma i knew i had a really good daily trainer that is perfect for easy runs. Last thing is us bigger feet runners, it can be hard to find good comfy daily trainers so definitely worth a try if your like me.

The most overrated comfortable shoes available ,for me, is still the Gel-Nimbus 25 ! It even beat other shoes I still got/had likenthe Gel-Nimbus 26, Invincible 3, Wave Sky 7 or a 1080 v13. The shoes that get similar running comfort and super overall plush to the Gel-Nimbus 25 is the Nike Infinity Run 4 . It is just a delight heel to toe transition running with my Infinity 4 ... not necessarily the most expensive shoes will be better by default ( AKA Invincible 3) .

I gave the 12 a shot last year and while it did seem soft and everything. I hated the heel cup so much. I don’t know what was going on back there, but it wasn’t manageable and I’m usually the type to not let things bug me. But that shoe worked my nerves. I hated it. Does this have a similar feel on the back of the heel? I don’t know how to even explain what I’m talking about haha. I’ve seen others mention it though

I haven't had any issues with the heel or upper fit on this - it's super comfortable for me all around and manages a good lockdown without being too tight.

For long runs I've been thinking the Hyperion Max 2 when it comes out in July for the long runs for some of that "pop" at the end of those long runs when your legs are tired like you'd mentioned but I've never tried a plated shoe before. And that doesn't cover between now and summer lol Any idea for a shoe that's out now that covers long runs and recovery? Or a shoe for each, definitely not opposed to a shoe for each, I love new shoes 🙃

You might like the SC Trainer v2 for that - it has a plate but is more forgiving than other plated trainers. I've taken it 20+ a few times and it still feels great at the end of those runs. It's on sale for $140 right now too. Another great non-plated option is the Saucony triumph 20. I used mine for exactly what you described and it's a nice fun slightly bouncy shoe for long runs and recovery.
