Advice for Road Runners: The New Balance Men's Fresh Foam X 1080 v13 Running Shoes deliver soft cushioning. Looking for neutral running shoes with substantial cushioning for daily training miles? The Fresh Foam X 1080 is one of the best options out there.

Underfoot Feel

The high midsole stack height coupled with the Fresh Foam X midsole creates a lot of plush cushioning underneath your feet. 

Soft cushioning can feel very comfortable. However, it takes more than that to create running shoes that you want to run in repeatedly. The rocker profile makes it easier to move through the gait cycle; helping you to move with greater efficiency. 

Stiffness at the forefoot further helps with the toe off stage of the heel-to-toe transition. If you look at the outsole on the forefoot, you will notice that the flex grooves run more or less from front to back as opposed to side to side. The flex groove design accounts for a lot of the forefoot stiffness.

Upper Fit

The engineered mesh upper is breathable and provides a supportive fit. The upper's material is designed to sit close to the foot. 

Ideal Run Type

The New Balance Men's Fresh Foam X 1080 v13 Running Shoes are best suited to training runs at steady paces. When underfoot comfort is a priority for daily training runs, the 1080 v13 is a great option.

Sizing Advice

Shoe size is a personal preference and everyone's feet are different, but we want to ensure you avoid any pain or discomfort from bruised toenails, rubbing, blistering or pins and needles.

Your running shoes should have enough width to allow you to spread your toes and should have some space at the front (we recommend having a half to one thumb's width of space from the end of your longest toe to the front of your running shoes).

This usually means that your running shoe will be at least a half size bigger than your regular shoe size though this can vary from brand to brand.
