I tried them on at Shoe Show and they felt more comfortable than the other shoes I tried on in the $50-$75 price range. They had more room in the toe box, as well.

Yeah how do these compare to the 1080?

Edit: giving them a shot at this price. Easy returns if anything.

I have a pair of 520 fresh foam and they're very comfortable. Definitely worth 50 bucks.

Bough these and they were super comfortable at the start. They were very soft. I hate soft shoes unfortunately.

My shoes ended up falling apart before 30days. The sole of the shoe started to separated. I got a credit at the store I bought. I used them to walk the dogs a lot and put around 90mil of walking a month.

May have better luck if you're just using them to go out for errands.

Fresh foams are the most comfortable shoes that I have ever own. Cushion feel reduces the impact on my knees during running. Only downside I see that they don't last long. Within 3-6 months soles show significant wear..

I also had the same problem. Not even after one month, inside material tore off. I just use it when I walk my dog. Comfortable, yes! Quality material , no.

I have the New Balance 840 Fresh Foam and I bought these based on that. They'll be returned if they're not the same as the 840s.

All of the New Balance Fresh Foam shoes are comfortable if you get the right size and use the shoes for the intended purpose. This model is advertised as running shoes and the exaggerated curve at the front of the sole helps you keep running forward, but can be awkward if you're not actually running.

My order arrived and guys the truth is if you've ever worn the 880s or the 1080s these are going to be extremely subpar. They're like fresh foam with a fourth of the amount of fresh foam. So a lot stiffer and overall feel a little more cheaply made, but I guess that's commiserate with the price. I'll be returning them.

The reviews on this thread are glowing but these are pretty basic entry level new balance shoes and way more firm than their upper mid range and higher end models
People gotta try better shoes
