How often should I replace my New Balance 1080v15 trainers?
Typically, running shoes like the 1080v15 should be replaced every 300-500 miles (480-800 kilometers), or when you notice a significant decrease in cushioning or support.

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing different types of running socks. If the issue persists, consider trying a half-size larger or a different New Balance model that may offer a wider fit.
Cushioning feels less responsive over time
The cushioning will naturally break in. If responsiveness significantly decreases, it may indicate the shoe has reached the end of its lifespan and should be replaced. Ensure you are not exposing the shoes to excessive heat during drying.
Soles show excessive wear
This can be due to running surface, gait, or mileage. Ensure you are using the shoes on appropriate surfaces (primarily roads). If wear is uneven, it might indicate a gait issue; consulting a running specialist could be beneficial.
