The W1080v10 is built around New Balance’s Fresh Foam X midsole, which dials in soft underfoot feel without losing the bounce-back you want in a daily trainer. The engineered knit upper breathes well in summer heat and locks the foot in place when you push the pace.
Runners reach for this one for everyday road miles, treadmill sessions, or as the easy-day shoe in a rotation. It also doubles as an all-day standing or walking shoe for nurses, teachers, and anyone whose feet take a beating at work.
Made-in-USA editions of the 1080 line are assembled at New Balance’s domestic factories in Maine and Massachusetts using a mix of US and imported materials.
