I would run 500 miles

I speak truthiness · Feb 6, 2018

4/5

Overall

I've had about 4-5 pairs of this exact model and I love them. I've put 500+ miles on them and they never fell apart. They fit me really well and I never had any issues. I wasn't as big a fan of the next model so I stocked up on the v5 while I had the chance.

4/5

Overall

I switched to the 1080v5 after my pair of 1080v4 wore out. The v5 has noticeably more cushioning throughout the sole. They feel more comfortable on long road runs, but the extra cushion makes them feel slower for track workouts.
