300 Mile Review: New Balance 1080v13

The New Balance 1080v13 is a highly cushioned everyday running shoe designed for comfort. When I first added it to my rotation after my half marathon in October, I was concerned about the durability given the sparingly placed rubber and super soft foam. However, I found that I've been reaching for the 1080 consistently over the past week on any days when I'm not training fast in a plated shoe. Here is my experience with the shoe at 300 miles.

Here are links to buy the 1080 and alternative shoes I mentioned. I will get a commission that helps support the channel if you buy any of the shoes through Running Warehouse. I won't get a commission but I will be happy I saved you money and got you into a great shoe if you buy the $80 Triumph deal instead.
