[@danalopresto3139]

I really enjoy your content. I’ve been a 1080 fan for the last 4 years due to multiple back and hip surgeries due to the plush ride. After watching your video on the NB Rebel v4, I had to try them, in a size 11 the Rebel was insanely lightweight and the upper was excellent… but for someone who is 220lbs with back/hip issues, I experienced some pain/discomfort after 2 miles. For a lighter runner the Rebel may be a good option. My go to NB shoe is the More V4, and I’m really looking forward to the release of the More V5. Thanks for your great content!

[@marchood04]

Really like the value of the Rebel v4. Stopped by my local NB store yesterday to try on. The upper is incredibly breathable and the FuelCell has the bounce I love. Keep posting that heat Hes!

[@freddymiguelponce]

Can't wait to see your review of the Trainer, Pacer, More V5 and Balos! Great video!

[@williamortiz9402]

I use the triple black 1080 for work where I walk for 8 hours and they have been great. My feet are not as tired at the end of the day compared to the 993 which was my favorite before the 1080.

Is the v13 different from the v12? And how

[@JasperLTZ]

@@alijaber9855 it's softer and more comfortable, but it's subtle, so I would suggest only upgrade it if your v12 is wearing out, I bought v13 because the traction of my v12 is almost gone

The triple black v13' wide version are great for long casual walking in places like Costco. I plan on copping another pair in a different color soon.

[@tomasrangel6]

I work at a car plant I’m on my feet 8 hrs a day. The new balance rebel v4 wide with a heel insert is a game changer. I have flat feet. Only pair of shoes I feel are worth retail and will buy without thinking twice.

[@sneakersonfeet9045]

Always love your recommendations HES and these are both great choices but for a Daily Sneaker I will take the 1080 V13’s

[@gogigp]

Purple V13 are AMAZING! What color can do

[@obk20]

I was an ultraboost user since 2017 and went to the new balance store last month tried the rebel 4 and 1080 v13. For me the v13 were better and had more cushion. Rebel 4 seemed more like a running shoe. I don’t know what magic foam new balance is using but they got me converted. I bought the triple black 1080 v13 they look awesome! Adidas is so behind the cushion game now they really need to step it up!

[@genericmike7361]

I just recently got the ultra boost light after not wearing boost style shoes in over 4 years and wow I’m impressed and happy to use as a daily driver tbh

hi just saw your reviews and wonder if you have any recommendation for Seniors with bunions, knee problem, for walking & traveling. thank you

[@donziceman]

Cant go wrong with both but i tried both of them im going with the freshfoam 1080.

[@tbrrrn]

I have the 1080 V 13 and I love the cushion of the shoe. It’s honestly better than any other new balance and I’ve had all of them. Only dislike is that I tend to super Nate slightly and because the cushion is so soft and there’s not a lot of flare on the out I tend to feel like I’m going to roll outward.

[@Mordotz]

Tryna find new shoes as a healthcare worker and honestly been binging your vids.. yet im still so torn haha. Need some that can withstand being in the same spot all day but also be able to do some walking for long distances, so prob need some with support? Love the look of 1080s but im afraid i wont like like the extra cushion after awhile. I used to always but sketchers but the foam bottoms out within a year

[@liquiddw2]

I stand at least 8 hours a day and bought the 1080v13 based on your recommendation. These are the best, most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I hope new balance keeps this formula around for a while because it's a home run! I personally like the looks.

[@urgirlang1]

So Invincible Runs are my go to all day walking shoe. I bought the NB SC Trainer 1 & 2 because if your recommendation. I wear the 1 to work but haven’t had a chance to walk or stand all day in them. So I ordered the Rebel V4 because of your review and someone else’s review claiming that they were more comfortable than the Invincible Runs. But now I’m seeing so many people loving the 1080v13. So in your opinion which is better than the Invincible Run? And which is more comfortable between these 2 and the SC Trainers?

[@benzi_]

just starting the video --- but because of you and your past videos, i bought both! 10.5 US Wide on 1080v13 (white), regular Rebel V4 (black/grey)! :)

The blacked out rebel V4 looks like the Lamborghini of footwear 🤯 Might have to cop a pair

[@raffstyle]

I love my rebel v3 so I decided to pick up a white/linen mens wide sz11 from ebay (shipped form Taiwan to US), from the looks I thought it will be more softer the V3, for me its just a bit softer/bounce. I tried the 1080v13 and Nike invincible 3 at dicks yesterday. the V13 is something else! it removed my doubts with fresh foam when I tried before (More v4). now Im in the hunt for for that navy/white V13! HES please do V13 vs Nike zoom type!

[@towerguarder]

[@Welcome_772]

I got 3 different colors of 1080s , very comfy

[@DJkleptic]

What shoe would be better for heel spur pain?

[@jasonyoung1321]

I recently bought the adidas super nova rise, would like to know if the cushioning for the rise is closer to the 1080 V13 or the rebel V4. Will be using the shoe mostly for work or casual wear, with a few trips to the gym on the treadmill. I’m in my mid 50’s and over 200 lbs who played a lot of basketball , so looking for a shoe that will be easy on my knees. Thank you .

[@too2810]

Please comment the high arch of the rebel v4. I’ve run over 200 miles in the 1080s and absolutely love them, but I tried on the rebels the other day and immediately noticed pressure points in the arch and a lack of cushioned feeling under the big toe

[@selocaglar7066]

Is V13 suitable for summer use? I am on my feet all day. Will it cause discomfort?

[@sexyyfred]

Just tried on the rebels and they’re good but the 1080v13s are waaay better IMO as far as comfort. Big disappointment because I was expecting it to blow my mind since you and Seth Fowler ranked it high for comfort. Good for the price point tho. Gonna wait for the later releases

[@julianc8576]

this comments helped my life thank you

[@DarkSkinT]

I went to the new balance store and they recommended the Vongo … what about videos on those ?

[@urgirlang1]

So I found a coupon code for the 1080v13 and now I can compare the 2. I kept hearing the Rebel V4 was super comfortable. But just trying them on, the 1080v13 seems softer.

[@colelucas5936]

I have both and I agree. the rebel v4 is better for running and the 1080 is more comfortable casually

[@1asian1phone]

I have both also and I love them both! I agree it's hard to choose if you could only choose 1! I do wish there was a tad bit more cushion on the upper in the rebels like the back area where your Achilles sits and the tongue was a bit softer material. I'm a nurse and I'm in my feet all day and I love them both. I'm going to SeaWorld in a few days and I think I'm gonna choose the rebels for the trip. If you had to choose one for a theme park day which one would you choose?

[@heskicks]

Thx for the feedback! For themepark man both are great, if it's really hot outside the rebel but if not, I think the 1080 V 13 is better all around

[@charlesmarshall3362]

@heskicks do you wear shoes in the house?

[@haif1kanii]

I tried today Rebel V4 because their was so much positive reviews about V4😍, but then at the store I tried 1040 🤯 and I immediately knew that it's 1040 and I threw the V4 immediately 😂from my feet's, the cushion in 1040 is the BEST 🤩in the Market, they even are better then Hoka and Ascis

[@arranroyal3911]

I bought the Rebel V4s and had to send them back. I have flat feet and the arch support in them is very prominent and it hurt my feet a lot whilst wearing them and was uncomfortable. Something to keep in mind if you also have flat feet.

[@Markus56165]

Hey guys, I'm pretty crazy with shoes. I have over 40 pairs. 25+ Yeezys. I cant wear Jordans or anything hard. I work 50+ hrs a week in hospitals. I have a few pairs of Nike's, a few pairs of Adidas, and 2 pairs of NB Hierrov7 and a pair of 880v12 and 2 pairs of 1080v12, Standard and Permafrost. I got the 1080v13 in triple black. They're amazing! I've had them for 3 weeks and literally only worn other shoes a couple times. The v13 is the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn. I want the Rebel v4 but I don't love the thin tongue or the heel collar versus the v13. I'll probably still get a pair later in the year, especially if they drop a Permafrost V4.

[@pauldack5129]

Yo Hes you are an NB affiliate , can you find out when they are going to have the triple black Rebel fuelcell 4s in larger sizes?

Man i wish i knew I want em too! I can ask but usually dont know

[@trungmaster]

Which models of 361?

[@stevescott5858]

Compare to Hoka Mach 6!

[@yummdiddy]

I personally enjoy both equally. My only issue with the rebel is the tongue. I wish it was slightly longer. When I put them on, it’s a bit annoying, but that is extremely minor.

[@heskicks]

I totally agree with that! Minor but not as easy to get on

[@davidbraswell1481]

I have both, my opinion is I love both shoes don't get me wrong but my 1080 v13s are way, way more comfortable and my new balance super comp elite v4s are so far, my best new balance shoes!!! but that 250+ price point hurt good.......I love my Rebel also but it's to me just didn't last long enough they just feel flat now and will not buy another pair. I guess you could say they were good out the gate for around 250 300 miles and my 1080's have 400+ and are still very comfy actually I am bout to order another pair!

[@Traumtorschuetze]

I was looking for a summer shoe and tried the 1080 v13 first. They were not breathable enough for me. The Rebels are 10 times better for that and I ended up buying them in two different colours and have been extremly satisfied with them at the first warm days of the year. They are both very good though.

Is V13 suitable for summer use? I am on my feet all day. Will it cause discomfort?

[@Plant_Traced]

I’ve tried on both at the same time and the 1080 v13 was more comfy and cushioned…imho!

[@ChrisSullivanMCC-SCC]

The 1080 fresh foam has a strange angle around the ankle in the upper. It rubs my lateral and medial malleolus and that’s never happened in new balance or Nike or saucony or anything. Comfy otherwise. You can see the front upper ankle is longer and straight. Anyway, weird design. Should be rounded on both sides of ankle.

[@sirstevieb]

How would you compare them as far as potential foot or leg fatigue? Are they too soft in that regard. You mentioned you logged a lot of steps in these. Did you encounter any of that with either?

[@1asian1phone]

I'm a nurse and wear both. They both are great for all day wear!

[@sirstevieb]

@@1asian1phone so it really just boils down to preference of aesthetics. Thank you!

[@heskicks]

I think it really depends on the person, their preference and maybe their weight, I usually don't have any foot fatigue. Honestly, I prefer the comfort, the arches of my feet hurt with shoes like Nike dunks and air max ones

[@jesseadan148]

If you want some structure don’t sleep on the Vongo V6 it’s a more structure shoe than the 1080

[@mikemahar5353]

I’ve got the 1080v12 and 1080v13 and the fuel cell super comfy trainer v2 and I actually think the super comfy v2 is the best of the 3. I’m torn between the v12’s and v13’s. I feel the v12’s were a more versatile shoe. More of an every day shoe for me where as I feel the v13’s got super soft and more strictly a long run, recovery shoe. I think I preferred the v12’s, new balance are the only shoes I’ll wear. I don’t understand the ASICS fans, I have a pair of novablast3’s and find them to be terrible. I also have a pair of gel nimbus. I ditched them as my long run/recovery shoe. I’m trying to get my hands on a size 9 new balance super comfy elite v4, but they are sold out everywhere atm.

Which would you recommend for ankle arthritis? Maybe stability & cushion

[@Gabriela.Lamira]

Asics Nimbus 25 or 26 for cushion and stability. These New balance are criticized for lacking stability, specially from people with over pronation or supination, the feet rolls inwards/outwards. I've read a ton of comments saying that.

[@huhSHUA]

@@Gabriela.Lamira really? I’ve always thought the new balance ones were good. The ASICS are really good tho I’ve tried the nimbus and keyano and great. Actually the keyanos felt pretty good. Supportive and plush

1080 v13 way better than fuel cell for pillow like feel , just being lighter didn’t make them more comfortable . First time I disagree with ur pick 🤷

[@krish955]

Hello from Sydney, Australia. No doubt, both are great shoes for the right leg. Bought these shoes based on this channel's recommendation. I bought them both, but due to my wide feet (one size up won't fix the issue either), breathability issues, and being too soft (which caused me heel pain after walking for 3hrs in a shopping mall), I decided to return 1080 v13's, and kept the Rebel V4's. I found these are true to size fit, much more breathable, less weight (literally I don't feel like I wear them and are on par with my CloudSurfer), and not as soft as 1080's- yet stable due to wide shoe arrangement. Bonus, I also love the look of Graphite colour shoe. Long term durable could be a concern though but time will tell.

[@julianc8576]

The Rebels are 140 retail and the New Balance are 165 retail $15 difference

[@sizzlechestmcmurphy4365]

The Rebel V4 is NOT a casual shoe. It's a full-blown running shoe (and a really good one at that.) It's not a shoe that's meant to be strapped onto your feet so you can stroll around the mall... The 1080v13 is the FAR superior multi-purpose shoe. It's a bit sad watching people using shoes for purposes that they were never designed for (I'm looking at you people wearing AlphaFly at the gym while "attempting" to do squats.)

[@deangills-je6sv]

So if I’ve got bad joints caused by an illness I had and need the softest cushion there is just to move normally I should not wear these so you don’t get offended 😮not all black and white why people will wear different shoes sizzle 🤷‍♂️

[@oboynothim]

For anyone thinking buying new balance shoes. These foam are horrible for your feet because they r too soft and they will collapse. I had several pairs of these shoes and they will caus plantar fasciitis when you wear them long enough. They have no structural rigidity which your feet muscle need not to atrophy.

[@jefri4176]

Was considering this. I think I will get novablast 4 instead

[@adammerrill4986]

Everyone’s feet are different. I switched from the Kayano 30 to the 1080v13 and absolutely love them. I’ve probably put 60 miles on them and no issues.

[@dpanman]

Really? I'm a musician, and my favourite shoe to stand and perform in (especially on double gig days) is the More v4. Less heel pain, more comfort, and less fatigued after long days on my feet. TOTALLY different experience from what u described..

[@markymark28]

Okay Doc!

This is true. My feet aches with 1080s
