Our Review
The New Balance 1080v14 is the ultimate comfort shoe for runners who want their daily miles to feel like running on clouds. The Fresh Foam X midsole is New Balance's softest and most responsive foam, and the Hypoknit upper wraps your foot in a seamless, sock-like fit. The strategic rubber outsole provides traction where you need it while keeping weight down. If your priority is comfort on runs of any distance, the 1080v14 is the answer.
