Like walking on pillows that fit like a glove.
Right out of the box I was impressed with how good they look. The colors compliment each other and are very subtle and go with anything.Now for what I consider to be more important.I normally wear a size 11 and that is what I ordered. They run true to size and fit perfectly. I couldn't have gotten a better fit if I had gone to a store and tried them on. They fit like a glove with a roomy toe box but not too wide.I have found the traction to be good on all surfaces and not "sticky" like some of my other shoes on tile or concrete.Compared to other brands that I did check in stores, these are lighter or equally lightweight and much lighter than shoes I already own.I do not run much anymore for various reasons but for walking or even standing on hard surfaces for long periods they are great. They are very plush and comfortable. I did try on another brand that was supposed to have maximum cushioning and there was no comparison. These are so much more plush and soft I was actually surprised and I love the fact that they did not need to be broken in, great as soon as I put them on.As someone that walks at a pretty quick pace and is definitely a heel striker, these absorb shock completely when walking and would be good for running.The quality is what you would expect from New Balance, they are absolutely one of the top brands. Even though I haven't owned them long they show no wear. They still fit great and bonus is they are very cool and do not make my feet hot even after wearing for a long period.As I said, I don't run much but for really long walks or standing for long periods, these are great. These are the only shoes I own that after wearing all day my feet still feel as comfortable as when I have just put them on.No buyers remorse at all. I would buy them again and highly recommend them

Great shoes for working on your feet all day
I am a healthcare worker, so I'm on my feet a lot. Hospital flooring is hard on the feet so I need cushion...a lot of cushioning. I also need wide sized for my wide feet. NB 1080s are my favorite work shoes and have been so for over 10 years. I'm not a runner so I can't speak to that portion of buyers...but for those of us who need a solid, cushioning, comfortable work shoe...these are a great option. I know they aren't cheap, but I get a good year out of each pair. If you work on your feet in a busy environment then you know great shoes are worth every penny.

Cloud Like Comfort and Secure Fit
Very Comfortable and Decent Heel Support, I also tried to the Asics Gel Nimbus 27 and the Brooks Adrenaline and I found that the 1080v14 were by far more comfortable and secured on my foot. The Padding on the tongue is very cushioned and even when I tighten my laces my feet still feel comfortable. On the Asics Gel Nimbus, there wasn't enough cushion at the tongue, a lot of ankle rub, and heel was not as secured. On the 1080v14 there was also a great balance of cushion below so it feels like you are walking on clouds; but also not too much like the More model, which can compromise stability. Definitely recommend the NB 1080V14 for everyday use: walking running or training!

So Comfortable and Very Durable
Very lightweight and comfortable. If you have large/wide feet (I am a 15 X-Wide), New Balance never disappoints. I use custom orthotics, and the orthotics technician says he recommends them often. I spend an hour running on the treadmill 3X a week, and these shoes give me a good 500 miles of use. For the price and the quality, these can't be beat!

I wanted to love these so bad...
This is a max cushion shoe. Great for hanging out and going to the store. For me, personally, they are too soft for running or walking. Feels like walking in quicksand. It seems to take too much energy to rack up miles...it's like slogging through mud. They look fantastic...they are super comfortable. I need shoes with a bit of stability, and these really have none of that, so I always felt like I was sliding off the inside of the shoe. If you need a neutral shoe, and you like the max cushion...then you will love these. These are a really great show, they just were not for me due to being too soft and not enough stability.

Improved comfort
I wear either a 15 2e or 15 4e for 1080s or Mores. I bought two 1080 pairs, 1 of each because of the great price. Both fit fine. The 2e fit perfectly as did the 4e. In addition, I found v14 superior to v13 for two reasons: supportive sides by the midfoot (my midfoot slants a little bit to the right, which caused it to hang somewhat on the v13) and a very slightly more firmness, but added bounciness, which made walking more springy but still well cushioned. I had no problem with toe splay on either, nor big toe discomfort. In fact, my big toe felt more comfortable with a little extra extra support. I like these a lot better than Mores. I don't feel like I'm constantly slogging through mud on elephant feet. Plus I prefer them to the ASICS Novablast and like them as much as the Saucony Hurricane (the most forefoot room of all). Neutral and supportive make no difference to me as a walker.

2 days with and never felt something like this! Perfect!
Very comfortable, cloud walking but with responsiveness e control, bought the wide for extra room, slip resistant, great arch support, it’s fantastic for hot weather due to its breathability, mesh ultra soft and perfect style for running or daily use.
