Very exciting to see this! Would be very interested for a head to head against the Triumph to work out which is the most versatile daily cushioned trainer.
+1 on this! I'm replacing my 880s by the end of the year with something more cushioned now that I have speed day shoes (Rebels V3, LOVE them), and I'm down to 1080s or Triumphs. I was leaning towards Triumphs but the v13 looks like it might keep me in the NB world.
@@Martin-kc1xj I like NB but Triumph gets such consistently rave reviews from everyone and seems quite light so I’m thinking that’s the way to go for me. 1080 maybe sounds slightly bit softer less responsive? More towards just easier days?? 🤷♂️
@@CSRunner7I have both V12 and Triumph. The ride on the V12 is much smoother to me and you can definitely pick up the speed if needed. Triumph is a bit bouncier for sure, but I don't feel as comfortable picking up pace in them at all as they feel clunky to me. I think all of this is personal preference though really.
What a great time to be a runner. So many great options from every company...from the boston 12 to the speed 3 to the nike alphafly...take my money take my money take my money
Looks good but can’t see it getting ahead of my Triumph 20’s which are so 5/5 that just bought second pair @£75 here in 🇬🇧. Always enjoy your videos though. Thanks 😊
I'm not sure. I love my Supercom trainer. So far colors do not excite me. I bought for the same price. Adidas boston 12. I know it's a different shoe. I have the more v4 when I need a cushy recovery run...
I have a lot of trouble finding shoes with a roomy toe box so I ordered a few to try and am returning the shoes that did not work for me. I returned the Brooks Ariel 20. I am returning the Hoka Clifton 9. I just tried the New Balance 1080v13 and absolutely love them! I think they have more cushion than the Hoka Clifton 9. I went to the Asics factory outlet store, to try the Asics Gel Nimbus 25. I always liked the look of the Asics but the toe box was always too tight for me, even in the wide size. The Asics Gel Nimbus 25 was very comfortable to me. The store also had a buy one pair, get the second pair 50% off and a coupon for another 10% off, so I bought two pair which came to $108.00 a pair! I just wish they made a round toe box with a little more width.
could someone run their first full marathon in these? no hard target in terms of goal time, just wanna finish as comfortably as possible lol thanks Emily!
Hi Emily, would you say that the fresh foam is getting closer to the cushy feel of the fuel cell? I'm a supercomp trainer V1 tragic like you but I'm hoping the new 1080 would be a good daily trainer for my partner that doesn't want the carbon fibre plate of a super shoe.
I wouldn’t say it feels like fuelcell really. It’s still a lot softer with more give. That being said, I do feel like it’s a good training companion to the sc trainer. It’s more pillowy so I’ve been using it for easy days
I have three pairs of shoes that I rotate right now. My main daily trainer is the 880v13. I also use the SC trainer v2 for long runs and recovery. I have the Rebel v3 as well and mainly use it for my faster workouts, intervals and 5K's. When I bought the 880's I also tried the 1080v12 and while a bit more cushony, the 880's felt better and had more response in toe off. I'm curious to see how the new version of the 1080 is compared to the v12. One other comment about New Balance. Of all the shoes out there, NB fits me the best. I ahve wide feet but also have mortons neuroma. NB is one of the few companies that have many width options, even in their race day shoes unlike other brands. Great reviews by the way!
Here again, the Argentinian, the other time I said in one of your videos that I thought the nimbus were better than the 1080, which I was wrong about, and I'm here to agree with you, because I went to buy the nimbus and when I tried them on, they were too tight and too big. Quite the opposite of the new 1080, which are very comfortable and light. In the end, I bought the new 1080 v12 and now you are getting the v13 hahaha, you are a genius and thank you very much for your videos and advice, I am going for my first marathon in Buenos Aires. 42 k so later I will tell you about my first experience, greetings and finisher hug
1080 is lower to the ground so you might have some better luck with that. It doesn’t feel like you’re sitting on top of a platform like you may have felt with the More
I thought the More V3 was fairly stable (orthotic added). But some people apparently found them too firm. I would like to see something in the line-up resembling a very stable 'wide footprint' offshoot of the V3. I'm thinking that the 'More V5' itself will likely lean too squishy-soft for my preference. That is the overpowering popular trend, after all.
I've migrated from the 1080 to the 880 for daily trainer due to cost and outsole wear but I'm always interested in this line as it is a good recovery shoe along with the More. The thing I liked most about the 1080v12 was that it is wider than true-to-size. I always have to size up for shoes that are true-to-size because TTS isn't wide enough for me.
I’ve never tried a new Balance shoe and after listening to your review of v12 and v13 and was going to buy these shoes. I found they changed the drop changed from 8mm to 6mm. :(. Not ideal for my high arch. Also, just fyi for others, I bought the triumph 21 after listening to your review and others’ and was disappointed to find I got the same pain as I did from the Ride 14 under my left metatarsal area just from walking. Never even was able to run in them. Such a shame because the triumph arrived this week and what a beautiful shoes. My right foot was thrilled! So far glycerin 20 and nimbus 24 have been working so we’ll see what I think of the nimbus 25! Good luck again with your NYC marathon!
big fan on the 1080.., I ran in the 10.., and I have the 12 ., though I have yet to run in it.., I got the permafrost version on the cheap.., for the winter running season.
My experience with NB sizing is I'm true to size in their Fuelcell shoes, and need to go half size down in their fresh foam shoes...Any recommendations? Should I go with my same size in the More v4?
It’s going to be interesting to see how this differs between the Asics Gel Nimbus 25, currently my go to for easy pace mile “recovery runs”….hint bring on the Versus 😉🤙🏽
Hi Heller, I'm a one pair of shoes kind of person. Do you think this could be a good all rounder daily trainer? I'm not training for any race, but I like to pick up the pace for fun sometimes. Looking for good energy return, something a bit exciting/fun, not too wobbly and with a bit a cushion on the forefoot (mid to forefoot striker). If not this one, would you have any suggestions for me? Thank you so much for all your videos, I'm a big fan :)
This is a good option but if you want something with a little more energy return I’d suggest maybe the Supercomp trainer v2 for days you want to pick up the pace. I’ve done all kinds of runs in that shoe and it works pretty well
Adore NB 1080s V 11 and 12. Perfect rocker! 💙 #NewBalance This new one looks flat-footed like the despicable “dead fish” NB More. 😔 #RunLikeHeller mentions this…I’d better jump on more 11s and 12s while I can. 👟
Would you choose this over the new balance pro comp trainer v2? I have been running in the hoka Mach 4 and 5 for all my runs. I'm 60 and not fast but can't find a replacement with little more tread and comfort.
Great review! How would you compare the 1080 v13 to the cloudsurfer 7? I was kind of looking into either one as a daily trainer based upon the reddit reviews and this one.
@@levandmarthapolyakin-aaron2183 I personally did not enjoy the v11 or v12... I've ran in all of the previous iterations of the 1080 from the first one that NB put out back in 2011. This one looks more versatile, but the price between this and the cloudsurfer are similar... I'll have to try it out in store once it is released. Thank you for the replies guys!
Hi Em. The shoe looks quite interesting. I'm a bit cautious after buying the previous version which was uneventful. The best NB show ever I believe they said.
I loved the v10. The v11 was awful to me. I have thoroughly enjoyed the v12. I'm pretty excited for the v13 I've always been a believer in new balance and I'm definitely going to grab this one
I wouldn't have even considered this shoe due to my experience with v12. The gusseted tongue had such a large seam which constantly rubbed the top of my foot. Have they fixed that issue on the v13? If so, I will definitely try a pair due to your amazingly detailed review. Thanks Emily!
Emily, love your videos! I have one question: What camera do you use to record your runs? What settings do you use for it? fps? resolution? exposure compensation? Keep up your GREAT work!
I will look at my settings and get back to you but I believe it’s a GoPro hero 9 or 10 on an extendable selfie stick. Highest fps it has which I think is 240fps. Other settings are standards haven’t touched exposure or anything like that
This is great, Emily! How high is the ankle collar? I feel like my ankle bones are lower and shoes like the FuelCell SC trainer 2 and the Elite 3 rub and press into my ankle bones quite a bit. Had no issues with the ankle collar height in the v12. Any feedback there is appreciated!
Love the colorway. What's the stability level for a neutral shoe? This upper looks the same as the upcoming Vongo v6. Why would New Balance put the same upper on a neutral shoe and one that is stability based?
I think the upper isn’t what makes a shoe stability really. It’s more about the midsole components but that being said I think this upper held my foot nicely. It’s still a neutral shoe so I overpronated a bit but it wasn’t bad at all!
Actually enjoyed the Propel v4. But my heart is with the New Balance Beacon. Wish they would bring that as a v4 😭 £160 for a daily trainer….this one will have to wait till it gets discounted.
Is the mesh/net down near the toes as stretchy and soft as the V12? I actually didn't buy the V12 because I didn't like how fragile and stretchy the material around the toes felt. I was really hoping the V13 would be back to a firmer material, is it firmer?
They’re very different. I think if you’re looking for a more versatile shoe then yes I would pay the extra money and get the sc trainer v2. It can be used for multiple different runs, whereas 1080v13 to me is easy day and long runs. Wouldn’t really use it for a workout.
Good morning Emily 🙂 🏃♀️...there's a lot to like about what NB is doing these days. Wasn't long ago that I didn't consider them a running option for me...definitely do now!
I'm a big fan of all your videos, but with this one I guess we have to keep in mind that you (and believe in the run) are being supported by New Balance at the moment.
You really don’t though. If I didn’t like a shoe I would say it. We’re under no obligation to hype a shoe that we aren’t hype about. Take sc trainer v2 for example. I enjoy the shoe, but note that I’ve said several times I think version 1 was way better.
I have already tried them today in a local store. It was a sample without even size information on them. Only ss inside. There were only two pairs. Triple black and red with yellowish midsole. I ran a couple of steps as well as in More V4, 1080 v12 and SC elite. And I might say 1080 v 13 are the softest and comfiest among all of them even though they were half a size small for me. They also a bit more narrow then 1080 V12 in midsole what reminds me of Pegasus. And comparing to my firm bricks NB More V3 it's a true blessing to run long miles in.
