If this shoe was evaluated solely based on comfort it would be 5 stars, but it's a running shoe and it misses the mark by quite a bit. Superb comfort Another oddity I’ve found while testing shoes is some shoes come in at a different weight for the left vs right shoes. This has an 8g difference, which is a large enough difference to mention. Conclusion Und: Geht es Ihnen so wie Micha? Oder haben Sie bereits den perfekten Laufschuh gefunden, der Ihre Performance auf ein neues Level bringt? Foto: New Balance The New Balance 1080 v11 is better suited for longer efforts but does not scream speed (nor is it designed to). Although not as bouncy as other New Balance shoes, the Fresh Foam X midsole does infuse a lively little bounce to every stride that contributes to a smooth ride. The tongue on the 1080v11 is a short, lightly-padded mesh that's partially gusseted. It’s comfortable but its length (how far down the upper it goes) does make it a bit more challenging to put on than a shoe with a longer tongue that allows the upper to open up more when unlaced.

Reflektierende Details: Insbesondere Läufer, die morgens im Dunkeln loslaufen oder abends trainieren, wenn es schon schummerig ist, können sich mit dem Schuh sicherer fühlen, da sie dank der reflektierenden Elemente auch von Rad- und Autofahrern wahrgenommen werden.

The outsole is pretty cool on the 1080v11. It’s almost a lugged design rather than a flat road trainer, and I dig this.

The area around the toe where the upper connects to the midsole and all the way through the midfoot and up into the logo is not stretchy at all. Too flexible on all fronts Extra weiche Dämpfung und erhöhte Zwischensohle: Jeder Mensch hat eine eigene, spezielle Fußform – das Obermaterial des Fresh Foam X 1080 v13 wurde jedoch so designt, dass es sich jedem Fuß anschmiegt. Durch die besondere Dämpfung fühlen sich die Schritte leicht an, Sehnen, Muskeln und Gelenke werden zudem geschützt. David: "I love the upper on this shoe. The forefoot has plenty of stretch knit material for toe splay, the midfoot is roomy and comfortable. The new heel also made it easy to slip on and off without causing any issues as I ran. I thought the last version was a bit too narrow in the midfoot, but this version corrected that issue." This soft material made my foot work extra hard to balance which led to a bit of cramping at first. I settled into them and they got better over time but they remain a touch wobbly because of the bouncy, soft springy midsole. Heel slipping in New Balance Fresh Froam 1080v11 With plush cushioning in the heel and a noticeably firm forefoot, the 1080 v11 creates a smooth heel-to-toe transition. The slight flex underfoot further contributes to a seamless transition through the gait cycle that delivers an extra snap at toe-off that is perfect for easy-going long runs.The forefoot rubber on the outsole itself is a bit harder durometer (85.2hc) than average (77.4) and should add some longevity to these shoes if you’re interested in running in them for hundreds of miles. Surprisingly lightweight I’ve seen this on a few shoes this year, and I am not a fan, just sew in a simple finger loop, how hard is it? Fresh Foam 1080v11 is extremely breathable

Laufen ist für mich mehr als nur irgendeine sportliche Aktivität – es ist eine Leidenschaft! Doch insbesondere am Anfang war ich richtig frustriert. Denn ich war zwar richtig motiviert, mein Training durchzuziehen. Aber: Meine Füße zogen einfach nicht mit. Beim Laufen fühlten sie sich schon nach wenigen Minuten müde an. Ich hatte das Gefühl, Klumpen zu tragen, die mich runterziehen. Irgendwann gab mir mein bester Freund den Tipp, die Fresh Foam X 1080 v11 von New Balance auszuprobieren“, erklärt Läufer Micha (32). „Erst war ich skeptisch, weil ich mir nicht vorstellen konnte, dass Schuhe so einen großen Einfluss haben. Doch schon beim ersten Test merkte ich, dass sie mir Antrieb geben und meine Leistung verbessern. Nach zwei Jahren habe ich mir jetzt die 13. Version gegönnt und bin begeistert. Jede Bewegung fühlt sich natürlich an. Dank der Energiegewinnung habe ich das Gefühl, noch länger durchzuhalten. Mein Tipp für andere Läufer: sich die richtigen Schuhe zuzulegen, weil der Unterschied krass sein kann.“ We put this in the freezer at 0 degrees F for 60 minutes and the shoe is 92.48% stiffer when cold. Flawless grip Breathability to wish for - all thanks to a partially gusseted tongue and a good choice of materials.

Fresh Foam midsole cushioning is precision engineered to deliver an ultra-cushioned, lightweight ride mm drop; due to variances created during the development and manufacturing processes, all references to One thing I found while cutting this shoe apart that was a little odd, was a small strip of padding in the middle of the tongue under the name/logo. Not sure why they would put that there or what it does, but must add a tiny bit of unneeded weight.
