This score rates better than 96% of shoes.
Our ratings use detailed reviews from knowledgeable runners, ratings for shoes in the same product line, and reliable product information from trusted retailers.
Rankings combine runner ratings, whether reviewers say they'd buy a shoe again, direct comparisons to other shoes, related product-line performance, and trusted external ratings.
The darker band shows the central score range. The lighter band shows a wider range of reasonable outcomes. More reviews for this shoe usually narrow both bands.

Honestly just an awesome shoe. One word I could use to describe it would be smooth. The rocker on it plus the fresh foam makes it pretty responsive. Gotta be the best daily trainer I’ve ever worn because my foot just feels awesome in it. The sock-like upper also is the best upper I’ve ever experienced in a shoe. Highly recommend.

For runs or a 12 hour shift I always go back to my 1080’s. They are a great shoe.

Can get over 500 miles without breaking down. Not the lightest or the springiest but a solid shoe that you can get your training runs in. Also comes in a wide which is rare for a quality shoe.

I have enjoyed most iterations of the 1080. This one is the best yet. It feels slightly more stable than its predecessor but still retains its balance of cushion and responsiveness. It feels great out the box. The only downside is the lack of durability- they start to feel flat quite quickly.
