The New Balance 1080 has long been a favorite of neutral runners, despite many improvements and updates. The 14 is no exception. This versatile neutral running shoe is ideal for both long-distance marathoners and casual runners, offering outstanding comfort and soft cushioning. Even among New Balance’s impressive lineup of running shoes, it stands out not so much for its speed as for its comfort, durability, and value for money.
Compared to other brands, the New Balance 1080 pairs best with other everyday favorites like the Asics Novablast or Saucony Ride. These are key models in the running shoe collection, able to withstand the miles and cushion the joints during easy runs and intense workouts.
