New Balance | Women’s Fresh Foam X 1080v13 Running Shoes – Marine Blue

Advice for Road Runners: Training runs at steady paces call for comfortable and reliable running shoes. The New Balance Women’s Fresh Foam X 1080v13 Running Shoes provide soft cushioning, and benefit from a lot of learnings from previous editions of this well-established line of running shoes.

Underfoot Experience

The soft cushioning comes from the new Fresh Foam X midsole. The foam – coupled with a notable stack height – should provide best comfort at steady paces. 

If you examine the outsole, you will notice the vertical flex grooves. By vertical, we mean flex grooves running from front to back as opposed to side to side. The purpose of the vertical flex grooves is to increase forefoot stiffness. This should help you to move achieve more efficient heel to toe transition.

Please note that the 1080v13 are neutral running shoes.

Upper Fit

The upper is designed to be soft and breathable, yet still provide a supportive fit.

Ideal Run Type

The New Balance Women’s Fresh Foam X 1080v13 Running Shoes are best for training runs at steady paces. The expectation is that these will be well matched to the regular training runs that set the base of your fitness. Soft cushioning should help to take pressure off your feet and legs. 

Shoe size is a personal preference and everyone’s feet are different, but we want to ensure you avoid any pain or discomfort from bruised toenails, rubbing, blistering or pins and needles.

Your running shoes should have enough width to allow you to spread your toes and should have some space at the front (we recommend having a half to one thumb’s width of space from the end of your longest toe to the front of your running shoes).

This usually means that your running shoe will be at least a half size bigger than your regular shoe size though this can vary from brand to brand.
