FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the Fresh Foam X midsole?

The Fresh Foam X midsole provides an exceptionally soft and cushioned ride, designed for long-lasting comfort and enhanced energy return during runs.

Are these trainers suitable for trail running?

The 1080v15 trainers are primarily designed for road running and general fitness. While they can handle light trails, they may not offer the aggressive traction or protection needed for technical or muddy terrain.

How do I determine the right size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart and measure your foot length. Consider trying them on with your usual running socks to ensure a comfortable fit, with enough room in the toe box.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash or tumble dry these trainers. Hand washing with mild soap and water, followed by air drying, is the best method for cleaning.

What is the heel-to-toe drop?

The heel offset is 6mm, which is a moderate drop that suits many runners seeking a balance between cushioning and a natural feel.

How does the engineered mesh upper differ from traditional mesh?

The engineered mesh is designed with specific zones of breathability and support, offering a more precise fit and enhanced airflow in critical areas compared to standard mesh materials.

What is the weight of the shoe?

The New Balance 1080v15 trainers weigh approximately 237 grams (for a women's size, actual weight may vary slightly by size).

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try wearing them with running-specific socks. If discomfort persists after a few wearings, consider if a different model or size might be more suitable.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time

The Fresh Foam X midsole is designed for durability, but cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. For optimal performance, consider replacing your trainers after 300-500 miles of running, depending on your running style and weight.

Upper material feels less breathable

Ensure the engineered mesh upper is clean and free from debris. Mud or excessive dirt can clog the mesh pores, reducing airflow. Follow the care instructions for cleaning.

Slipping during runs

Check the outsole for wear and tear. If the tread is significantly worn, it may be time to consider a replacement. Ensure the shoes are tied securely but not overly tight to allow for natural foot movement.
