Boosting my nature walks
Looks nice, very comfortable and great for trail. To be fair I want to wear it all the time

Great shoe, can feel sketchy on techy terrain.
Had some initial concerns over the stack. I wanted a comfortable everyday runner for any terrain, and I’d say that’s what they deliver. I usually run in a low drop minimal stack so I was expecting some teething issues, but I didn’t really have any with the wide fit model. The cushioned stack hasn’t been corrected from the V8 IMO. Like yeah you’re not going to severely roll your ankle, but on tricky terrain it can feel a bit like “oooo that was close”. Like having a bike with too much suspension. That being said, it is manageable, but I’d like to see a firmer stack on the v10 for sure.

Please quit the rocker style!
If these weren't such a rocker design I would've kept them. Just don't make you feel like you're walking naturally. Way too much abrupt toeoff. The other features are great - wide widths/round toe, cushiony, fantastic tread for trails.

Extra wide and a pefect ride on the trail!!
This is a great update over the previous generation. As a extra wide foot trail runner this is really the only option but I wish there was a trail race shoe version. Good for 20 miles+ on highly technical trails.

1080 runners are superb!
The revised 1080 line of runner's have raidsed the bar, dramatically! These are by far the most comfortable, and advanced thinking runners I have ever used. They enhance my performance, and feel great while in use. The attention to detail far exceeds anything I have used to date.
