Why the New Balance 1080 V13 is Worth Every Penny

New Balance's 1080 series is an all-time favourite amongst many runners. With this recent update, the V13 refines the shoe significantly and for me personally, this is one of the best upgrades I've seen in a long time.

[@Francis-ot7pm]

I recently acquired this shoe at a discount and I found it refreshingly good for my purposes. Slow, easy pace and recovery jogging. I'm 1.86m, 115kg and I immediately replaced the Nike Infinity Run 4 in my rotation with the 1080. The Infinity Run 4 will now become my stunt 101 shoe when I rock up at the grocery store. Now I think my rotation is more balanced Nike Pegasus 40, Nike Vomero 17 and the New Balance 1080 V13.

Wow Aubrey looking GOOOOOD there!!! Looking more and more like a runner!! Andy the FOD Runner was my very first EVER youtuber I ever subscribed to and binged, and yes it was exactly because he gave not only very thorough but also very long term reviews on his shoes ... to me the long-term longevity of the midsole energy return is a major concern when choosing a shoe, especially at these insane prices !!

[@AubreyRunning]

I absolutely agree with you about Andy. I love his channel, there is a simplicity about it that many channels are missing. He is thorough and detailed in his reviews.

[@Kevin-sf9ku]

Ordered on your recommendation from comment on another video, just got yesterday, first run in the bag. All i can say is amazing shoe so comfortable thank you for recommend!

[@AubreyRunning]

Glad you like them! These are in my opinion, one of the best of our times

[@vickyshaw1709]

I loved NB 1080v10 and had 2 pairs I wore to death (black version even transitioned to being my work footwear - I work at Tesco 😂). Currently just purchased 2 pairs of the v12 but only wearing the one pair. Enjoy them as much as the v10 and my go to for an easy run. Even better I haven't paid full price for any of them 😀

[@AubreyRunning]

I need you to get involved in the reviews. If you ever get the chance, please message me on Instagram and I’ll get you to contribute to The Tesco Tesco Section of the review. This is such a cool idea.

[@jonestacara]

I love the v10! They were perfect and heard my plantar fasciitis. Didn’t care for the firmer v11 and don’t like the heel change on v12. I hope these work for me but I loved how the v10 felt like socks

[@InfiniteQuest86]

@@jonestacara1080v10 was one of the best shoes ever made. Such a standalone success. Everything before and after pales in comparison.

Thank you so much, always great when people take time to acknowledge it because it takes a lot of work

[@ianlowe4126]

Thanks Aubrey for another great review and your open response to your subscriber’s feedback. I tried the V12 but it was too narrow in the mid foot for me so went to the triumph 20 which is perfect for me so much so that just bought a second black pair for winter for an amazing £70!! so I won’t be laying out £160 for this one but hey still enjoyed watching your review on my tea break as always. Keep up the good work 👍👏

[@AubreyRunning]

Thank you so much finding time on your break to watch this… please send me the link you used for the Triumph… I don’t Think I’ve given Saucony the time of day and definitely should

[@ianlowe4126]

@@AubreyRunning Aubrey thanks for your reply. I bought the triumphs on eBay. Brand new, original box and authenticated. £70. I’ve bought and sold many times on eBay and had some bargains and I if sell a pair they are always in immaculate condition so the buyer gets a bargain too. I’m not sure how KZbin reviewers like yourself feel about buying running shoes on eBay so would be interested to know if you have time ? Thanks Aubrey

Great review Aubrey! I have neuropathy in my feet from diabetes and was looking for a soft walking shoe. I think this is going to be it. Keep up the great work!

Firstly, a massive thank you for getting in touch, I watch your channel and enjoyed some of the videos you’ve shared. You’re a gem in the running community. Keep going. That’s all!

Currently wearing them. And I can’t fault them. Great review mate!

I ordered these 1080 V13 for my daily walks based of looks 😂. Glad I got a good shoe for the price. 1080V13 Timberwolf (Cream)

[@AubreyRunning]

It’s always about looks first 😂😂😂

[@marcusedcofficial]

Looking forward to picking these up for a bit of a mixed bag type of shoe. If course ill run in them but im mainly getting them for a his/hers disneyland shoe for my girlfriend and myself.

[@AubreyRunning]

Great shoe… you won’t be disappointed

[@fatboy5926]

This is simply my favourite shoe. I wish there was more quantity available here in Australia - especially since I have wide feet - this is my favourite shoe ever. It just feels right. Just edited as you got to the more v4. I had those - quite nice soft - but the 1080 is an upgrade everywhere. Everywhere. Softness? If I’m giving the 1080 a 10 (which I am) the more v4 is a 5/10. It’s no contest.

[@AubreyRunning]

Hehehehehe I love this! The More V4 is amazing and I feel like it’s what led to the 1080 v13. It will be interesting to see what the More V5 will be like

[@fatboy5926]

@@AubreyRunning we will see - I am praying they use the same sole on the v5 as the 1080. A 1080v13 with like an extra centimetre of stack?? Yeah that’s what I’m talking about 😂

[@filoIII]

Did you have More v3?

[@AubreyRunning]

@@filoIII nope, just v4

[@fatboy5926]

@@filoIII nah never tried those. I’ve mainly tried New Balance since they have wide sizes that I can sometimes get here in Oz but I’m new to running shoes. I’ve basically tried the rebel v3, more v4, 1080v12, 1080v13, Supercomp elite v4. I thinking of ordering the Supercomp trainer v2. A site near me just got wide sizes in them.

[@DeFacto1991]

Great job as always! These or nimbus 26 for heavier guy who stands a lot during the day. Not a runner, gonna use it for work and walking!

[@AubreyRunning]

Thank you very much for that kind feedback!!!

[@filoIII]

Nike Invincible 3 has a reputation for heel slippage, and it's very true.

[@AubreyRunning]

It does indeed and can’t argue with that statement at all. I experienced it myself

[@supaphongti9525]

Thank you for talking about tongue Many chanels don't talk about this but it's the problem for me many shoes.

[@AubreyRunning]

You’re welcome, genuinely a pleasure

[@GriffRunning]

Best shoe on the market. Period.

[@AubreyRunning]

Fair enough, not a bad shout at all

[@paulmulks]

I was tempted by this but went with the Boston 12 instead, might wait until its on offer somewhere 🤔

[@AubreyRunning]

You may be developing a shoe problem there my man, or maybe you already have one and are getting worse 😂😂😂 On a serious note though, completely different shoes. These feel like the cushioning is more felt whereas the Boston pack a more springier return of energy

[@paulmulks]

@@AubreyRunning Oh man I've definitely got a shoe problem, I'm currently waiting on a pair of new Adidas adizero adios pro 3's to arrive tomorrow 😳😂 I love buying new shoes, the wife and bank balance aren't very impressed though 😖

[@jamisons2504]

Mv4 and 1080v13 similar but the heel drop makes a difference for some. I typically dont get on with low drop squishy shoes

[@AubreyRunning]

I’d say try these shoes first. I love what they’ve done. I’m like you, but this shoe is different

Great review man !!

[@AubreyRunning]

Thank you so so much!

[@Gunbardo]

I dun understand why shoes are made to last only 100km before it degrades so much u need to get new ones… I run about 100+km in a month, am I suppose to change shoes every month…?

[@AubreyRunning]

There are so many variables at play here, distance used (mileage), body weight, the terrain you run on and off FEEL

[@welcomesongs4437]

man i bought the shoes, the big problem no one talking about that the shoes is low in the back and high in the front so when you run you see that its working against you and making you do more effort to advance its holding you back ,2nd big problem stability, when you run on surface not flat you gonna see your feet going on the edge and its painful

[@AubreyRunning]

Please help me understand your first point, I’m not I get it. What do you mean low in the back and high in the front?

[@piee683]

Great review good job

[@AubreyRunning]

Thank you so much, appreciate it. I enjoyed making it and running in the shoe. Your feedback means a lot

[@filoIII]

Found v12 for $37 new. Good shoe? I have the Triumph 20, and More v3. Glideride is kinda firm. 1080v12 firm too? v10 was hard, and I sold it after one run.

[@AubreyRunning]

Great shoe indeed but has nothing on the 13.

[@filoIII]

Wondering how this is compared to the More V3.

[@AubreyRunning]

I think that’s fair question but unfortunately have t ran in the more V3

[@cgazlan]

the square top at the heel first appeared on the More Trail v3.... I dig it...

[@AubreyRunning]

I never actually ran in the More V3… I was however in love when the V4 came out. I love this series

[@kuriosites]

It looks OK but it sounds like it's too soft for my taste. I'd probably go with the Novablast, which has a little more get up and go; with the price difference, even more so. At US$165, I could get the Boston 12 or Deviate Nitro 2.

[@AubreyRunning]

I tell you what… the Deviate Nitro 2 is definitely an amazing shoe. I’m testing it now as we speak

[@kuriosites]

​@@AubreyRunningIf they put a nice rocker on it, it would be my perfect shoe.

[@simplymiya3820]

Hi Aubrey. Can you recommend a low to medium stack heels for daily long runs on treadmill? I have been running the Cloudsurfer you recommended, but I’m just looking for alternatives. I got the NB Superfuel Comp but I don’t really like it due to the high stacks cushions.

[@PoetWithPace]

How long is your long run? 1 hour, 3 hours?

[@simplymiya3820]

@@PoetWithPace About 1.5 to 2 hrs run.

[@AubreyRunning]

Everyone will be very different because for me personally for 1 to 3 hour runs, I could t do that in low or medium stack shoes. I would definitely need something like the invincible or Nimbus. But since you’re asking for something different, I’d highly recommend the Hoka Rocket X2. A little pricey but that’s currently my favourite shoe

[@simplymiya3820]

@@AubreyRunning Thank you. I will check out the Hoka Rocket shoes. I’m not used to high stacked cushion shoes. I like my feet to be as flat or feel on the ground. I hate anything high stacked or bulky cushioned. Thanks again Aubrey.
