I use these sneakers for walking. Living in NYC, I walk a lot. My job also requires me to walk around a lot. I could stand and walk all day, and my feet do not hurt. The softness doesn’t provide top-tier stabilization, but it’s good enough for long walks and straight runs. I love them.

Fantastic cushioning shoe!
A little background: 84, 5′ 11″, 150 lbs, walk 3 miles daily/1000 miles yearly. Have been running and walking for 57 years, so have been through a few pairs of shoes! For some time, had settled on New Balance 840 series. Then two years ago, in searching for better cushioning, came across the Hoka Bondi 7 and 8. BIG improvement in cushioning.
Needed new shoes and Bondi 9 not due until December, I’ve read. Further research got me to this New Balance 1080v13. And it’s as big a step up in cushion as the Bondi was over the NB847. I’ve never experienced cushion like this. I can feel it from heel strike to push off. Never before aware of cushion under the forefoot and toes, but you sure can feel it in these.
Highly recommend if you are looking for a light, heavily cushioned running or walking shoe. I rate the shoes a 5+. Only reason for the 4 is that I ordered 2E and Amazon sent 4E. But the fit is great so I kept them.
Long term have some concerns about wear (strips vs full sole) but have to believe NB knows what they are doing.

No dislikes! These shoes are incredibly comfortable. The shock absorption of the “fresh foam” sole is excellent. Because I run some hills in my normal run, shock absorption on the downhills is especially important. My times actually decreased (I ran faster) in these shoes and the “heel strike” part of the running stride was much less impactful. Wear on the soles is minimal after 100 miles, but I would expect this. I wish the price was a little lower, but otherwise, definitely worth a try.

I walk a lot, probably around 40-50 miles per week. These are the best shoes I’ve ever had and I’ve owned a lot of different shoes over the years. Comfort is unmatched and the width of the shoe is wider unlike Hoka or Nike. They are not very responsive from all the cushion but I’m not looking to run fast. If you want a shoe for comfort this is it.

If you are looking for a maximum plush cushion to absorb shock rather than your joints this is the shoe for neutral shoes. I’ve tried on the top brands max cushion shoes even those ones for over $200, you know who I mean, none had such a soft cushioned feel under foot. The downside is that these have little stability due to the softness and construction as a neutral shoe, but if you don’t need stability and want the shoe to take the punishment rather than your knee/hip cartilage these are the ones to get. Some may question the durability of a plush cushioned shoe, my response it’s far cheaper and less painful to replace the shoes than the knees.

It is so hard to find shoes that actually work for a big person like me. I am 370 pounds, and these shoes have me able to walk and exercise without my feet getting all blistered or worn out.
They seem to be very durable, and the spring to the shoes as well as the comfort is still holding up great.
Sizing is correct to my feet. I like the color (I got the tan ones).
It’s better than expected, honestly. I have never spent this much in shoes before but it was absolutely worth it.

I prefer this better than on cloud or Hoka. It’s like walking on a bed. So comfy.

These are a huge upgrade from my Adidas. The take all of the pressure off my shins and put it on my thighs and glutes. They are very cushioned which is really nice for long runs, but they offer a little less ankle support than a basketball sneaker. They run a little bit small.

Mis favoritos, los uso solo para caminar y en trayectos largos como aeropuertos, están geniales, sin duda los compraría de nuevo

Llegaron más pronto de lo esperado, la caja venía un poco doblada pero lo que verdaderamente importa son los tenis, los cuales llegaron en perfecto estado. Me pedí una talla 25 cm (7 US) y me quedaron perfectos. Súper cómodos.

I have NEVER liked New Balance in the past, but my podiatrist recommended these to me for my ankle and foot injury that kept me from walking. This one is an actually good looking, well fitting, and the most comfortable shoe I have ever tried. Worth the high price – especially if you are injured! I love them!
