New BalanceFresh Foam 1080 v13

The Fresh Foam 1080 v13 suits long runs, high mileage, max comfort — particularly on road and treadmill surfaces. The 8mm heel drop works well for heel strikers and runners with tight calves. SoleHunt scores it 90/100 overall, placing it in the upper tier of max cushion options.

Roomy toe box. True to size. The Fresh Foam 1080 v13 is available from UK 4–15 in B, D, 2E, 4E widths. Its 97mm toebox is roomy, with space for wider feet and swelling on long runs.

The Fresh Foam 1080 v13 weighs 288g (UK size 9 men's reference weight). That is standard weight for a max cushion. Weight is unlikely to be a limiting factor for most runners.

The Fresh Foam 1080 v13 has a mid 8mm drop that works with most running gaits. The heel stack measures 38mm and the forefoot 30mm. This geometry suits the broad majority of heel-striking runners and those transitioning from conventional shoes.

Yes — the Fresh Foam 1080 v13 has a removable insole and is rated orthotic-friendly. With 38mm of heel stack and a plush and deeply cushioned midsole at 21 HC, there is sufficient volume to accommodate standard custom orthotics without the overall stack feeling excessive.
