FAQs

What is the main difference between the 1080v15 and previous 1080 models?

The primary difference is the introduction of the new Infinion supercritical midsole foam, which replaces the Fresh Foam X. This new foam is designed for enhanced cushioning and energy return, offering a distinct feel and improved long-lasting performance.

Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?

Yes, the 1080v15 is a max-cushion shoe with excellent shock absorption and energy return, making it well-suited for long-distance running, including marathons.

Can I use these shoes for speed work or racing?

While primarily designed as a daily trainer and for long runs, the enhanced energy return from the Infinion midsole makes them capable of handling faster efforts and some runners may choose to use them for shorter races.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the chart. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing.

What type of foot strike is this shoe best for?

The 1080v15 is designed to accommodate various foot strikes due to its balanced cushioning and smooth ride. It works well for heel strikers, midfoot strikers, and even forefoot strikers.

How often should I replace my 1080v15 trainers?

For optimal performance and injury prevention, running shoes are typically recommended to be replaced every 300-500 miles (480-800 km). This can vary based on your weight, running gait, and the surfaces you run on.

Is the upper material breathable?

Yes, the engineered double-layer mesh upper is designed for breathability and a soft, comfortable feel. However, it is a double layer, so while breathable, it may not be as airy as single-layer mesh designs.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or cause pressure points.

Loosen the laces, particularly around the area of discomfort, and re-lace for a more even distribution of pressure. Ensure you have the correct size; consider if a wider fit might be needed.

Reduced cushioning or energy return over time.

The midsole foam naturally compresses with use. Ensure the shoes are being cleaned and dried properly, as improper care can accelerate material breakdown. If significant loss of cushioning occurs, it may be time to consider replacement.

Traction issues on wet surfaces.

The strategic rubber outsole is designed for durability and weight saving. While generally effective, on extremely slick surfaces, exercise caution. Ensure the outsole is free of debris that could affect grip.

Upper material feels stiff or rubs.

The engineered mesh may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for shorter durations initially and gradually increase mileage. Ensure socks are worn to protect the skin from potential rubbing.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The New Balance 1080v15 trainers are ready to wear right out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for a comfortable fit. The lacing system allows for customization of tightness across the midfoot.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for running on roads and other hard surfaces. They are suitable for a wide range of adult male runners, from beginners to experienced athletes, looking for a cushioned daily trainer.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your shoes:

  1. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth or sponge with mild soap and cold water. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid storing them in damp conditions or under heavy weight.
