How it ranks
The New Balance Fresh Foam1080 v7 trails most daily trainers in our data. Cushioning and comfort are its strongest sub-ratings. Value scores well below its other sub-ratings. The rating rests on 8 runner reviews and 12 other rated shoes in the 1080 product line. Another 4 reviews would set the confidence on this shoe's own reviews.
Confidence
How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence will score low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.

“Broke down and lost shape pretty quickly.”
“Loses cushioning very quickly.”
“Better suited for runs at marathon/threshold pace where you can feel the benefits of the cushioning rather than at easy pace.”

“Probably the best highly cushioned trainer I have ever run in.”
“Had to replace after 320 miles.”
“Stride feels energetic when running in it.”
“Could have a little more mid sole cushioning.”
