KALEB: New Steadiness says that the 1080 is “cushion[ed], surprisingly light-weight with a daring and progressive higher”. Now the cushioned half is completely true, however at over 10 ounces, this shoe is what grandmothers may affectionately name “husky.” It’s not a cinder block, however it’s simply noticeably hefty on the run.
Provided that the stack peak has remained the identical, it’s at all times tough to rave a few shoe if it has gained weight. Now, because the foremost use case of the 1080 isn’t quick operating, however restoration and every day miles, I don’t assume it is a dealbreaker; it merely shifts the 1080 additional in the direction of the max-cushion class fairly than the do-it-all coach that it has been prior to now. Like I mentioned firstly, New Steadiness appears to be okay leaning into the chonky id of the 1080 line fairly than attempting to create probably the most completely rounded operating machine, so I’m frankly okay with just a little little bit of weight acquire.
The one different gripe I’ve with the 1080 is the foot form. I’m not a complete barefoot-running guru (although I’ve actually been recognized to log my fair proportion of dogs-out, toe-splayin’ grass miles… and even monitor miles), however the toe field of the 1080 felt prefer it was slowly giving me bunions. The medial facet of the toe bumper curves in only a bit too shortly, and it leaves my massive toe fairly squinched up towards the remainder of my little piggies. It appears to be much less of a width factor as a lot because it’s a shaping or proportion difficulty, as a result of I’ve run in narrower footwear with no downside. Heck, possibly I’m the issue.
