New Balance Women's Fresh Foam X 1080 V14 Shoes

I purchased these on July 21, 2025, and I’m beyond happy with them! The Fresh Foam cushioning is unbelievably soft and supportive, perfect for long walks, runs, or all-day wear. They feel like walking on clouds. The color (Earth Shadow/Reflection/Urgent Red) is beautiful and unique, very stylish yet subtle. I’ve gotten compliments already!They fit true to size, and the quality is excellent as expected from New Balance. My feet feel secure and comfortable with no break-in period needed. I highly recommend these if you’re looking for comfort, support, and a modern look all in one.

Love these!!!! they’re very comfortable, true to size and love all the different color choices

Love these shoes. They are super light and have great arch support while being very durable and comfortable. I use them exclusively for the gym to keep them clean but they look like they will last a long time! Perfect fit. No rubbing or blisters so far!

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.

Great shoe. Comfortable. But wide in toe box for a AA width

Love these shoes! So well made and supportive. I tried on so many to train for a race and these were my favorite all around for support and stability. I also sized up a half size due to recommendations and I am so happy I did they are the perfect fit!

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. Why did you pick this product vs others?: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.

I ordered this shoe in my usual size, and it fit perfectly. When I first slipped the shoes on, they felt extremely comfortable and cushiony on the inside. Perfect for walking around in all day. Unfortunately, that's not what I needed these for as I am marathon training, and I ended up returning them. Here are the pros and cons:Pros:• Great true to size fit, available in a variety of sizes and widths• Tons of colour selection• Very comfortable straight out of the box• Extremely cushioned, great for all day casual wear, and suitable for wearers of a heavier body size who want a shoe with tons of cushioningCons:• Shoe is far too "squishy" and cushioned for run training for my preference. Running in these feels like running through sand or snow. There is very poor energy return, and my legs and feet felt incredibly fatigued very quickly.• Poor ventilation: my feet became hot just minutes into my test run.• Big, clunky outer profile: the shoe has a big wide base/outer and a couple of times, I nearly tripped myself on my own feet. The outsole is just too large and bulky for efficient running.Overall, I would not recommend these to anyone who is serious about running or training for any races, unless you're looking to build strength (running in these reminds me of wearing ankle weights.) However, this is an excellent shoe for someone looking for an extremely cushioned all day trainer for casual wear or walking- particularly in cooler temperatures, assuming you don't get very hot or sweaty feet.
