👟 NEW BALANCE: Let me tell you something about the New Balance Fresh Foam x 1080… I like them. I use them for running seven-minute pace from my house, and for walking to my car to drive somewhere else to go run seven-minute pace. They’re workhorses and about as reliable of a shoe as you can ever ask for. When someone new to running asks me, “What shoes should I get?” then the New Balance 1080s are my go-to recommendation because everyone likes them, and that theoretical person probably will too.
