Best praise vs top criticism for New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080v14
“I'm the total opposite. V13 felt like stepping on a marshmellow, V14 feels perfect for long runs with a lot of cushion.”
“Then I hope you didn't get a new balance 1080 v13 or v14. Now these have that sinking feeling. The nimbus is firmer.”
