New Balance Women's Fresh Foam Sneaker

Product Information

Using mostly blown rubber, the outsole is very durable and offers a great amount of grip for an everyday trainer.

As in previous occasions, these 1080v11 from New Balance incorporate one of the most popular foams of the firm, whose technological advance we know as Fresh Foam X. The heel counter is very odd, it dips in the middle and the upper portion is just foam and this stretchy neoprene-like material. It’s comfortable but its length (how far down the upper it goes) does make it a bit more challenging to put on than a shoe with a longer tongue that allows the upper to open up more when unlaced. Completing the midsole is an ortholite sockliner that offers exceptional breathability and moisture management properties; the sock liner allows cool air to circulate whilst moisture vapour is moved away for a cool, damp-free environment that feet can thrive in.

The 1080v12 features the signature Fresh Foam midsole for plush cushioning and supportive fit, a moulded heel counter for stability and durable rubber outsole for impeccable traction.
