FAQs
What is the main advantage of the Infinion midsole foam?
The Infinion supercritical midsole foam provides enhanced, long-lasting cushioning and superior energy return, leading to a softer and livelier ride compared to traditional EVA foams.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
Yes, the max cushioning and comfort features make them highly suitable for long runs and marathon training, offering excellent impact absorption and support.
Can I use these for speedwork or racing?
While versatile, they are primarily designed for comfort and cushioning. For very fast-paced intervals or competitive racing, you might prefer a lighter, more responsive shoe. However, they can handle faster efforts adequately for many runners.
How do I clean my New Balance 1080v15 trainers?
Clean with a soft brush for dry dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for stains. Always air dry away from direct heat and avoid machine washing.
What is the expected lifespan of these shoes?
Typically, running shoes last between 300-500 miles. The lifespan of the 1080v15 will depend on factors like your weight, running surface, and how you care for them.
Is the upper material breathable?
Yes, the engineered double-layer mesh upper is designed for breathability, providing a comfortable environment for your feet during runs.
What type of foot strike is best for these shoes?
The maximum cushioning makes them forgiving for various foot strikes, but they are particularly beneficial for heel strikers and those seeking extra shock absorption.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose
Adjust the lacing pattern. Consider using different lacing techniques or ensuring you have the correct size. If persistently uncomfortable, check if the fit is right for your foot shape.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The Infinion midsole is designed for durability, but cushioning can decrease with very high mileage. Consider replacing the shoes after 300-500 miles of use, depending on your weight and running style.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the outsole offers strategic coverage, ensure it is clean. For improved traction on very slick surfaces, exercise caution. The shoes are primarily designed for standard road conditions.
Upper material feels abrasive
This is uncommon with the plush design. Ensure socks are worn correctly and check for any debris inside the shoe. Break-in periods are minimal, but persistent issues might indicate a fit problem.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure they fit snugly but comfortably before your first run. Adjust lacing as needed for optimal support.
Compatibility: The New Balance 1080v15 is designed for road running. It is compatible with most GPS running watches and fitness trackers for performance monitoring.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials and structure.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to preserve the integrity of the foam and upper materials.
