“I've had a couple of pairs of 1080v11 and really enjoyed having them in my rotation. They are comfortable to wear on the distances I tend to regularly run (5,8,10,15,20 miles). The 1080v12 I purchased because the price was about what I wanted to pay and I wondered if they could be that much better than the v11. They certainly are an improvement. More padding around the heal is very welcomed, a bit more return on effort from the shoe i.e. a bit more springy, the laces seem to lock the me in a lot better just making the running experience a bit more of a joy. I do love the colour also but getting the sock/shoe combo right is a bit tricky ;-).”
