Review on πŸƒ Revolutionize Your Run with New Balance Men's Fresh Foam 1080 V11 Running Shoe by Travis Chavis

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Two wrong pairs in a row.

Bought them for walking and running. However, the first one I bought was defective. Rigid inner material that wraps the heel. This material was out of place in the left boot. It was much lower than on the right boot. It was obvious something was wrong and I thought those were my socks. Lined up, swapped my sox and the problem was still noticeable. On inspection (see picture) it turned out that the material on the left boot was much lower than on the right boot. Malfunction. Not suitable for walking or jogging. So… I sent them back for an exchange…. I received another pair and tried them out the next day. The defect is also not as pronounced on this pair as on the previous one, but it is clearly noticeable in the rearfoot area and in the feel around it. I will return these refunds. My guess is that during the manufacturing process someone uses the mold on the right boot to apply the stiff material to the left boot, or there is a mold capable of aligning the tough material to the top right but not to the left Left. I don't think this is an automated process as the two pairs I tried had the hard material on the left shoe misaligned, but they weren't positioned exactly the same. As a result, both were defective. Unacceptable, especially at this price. I will be purchasing these shoes at my local shoe store to see if they are all faulty or are IRGULARLY being sold as perfect shoes. I hope someone from NB reads this and fixes the issue because other than that the shoes seem very good.

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Almost everything is ok
