FAQs
Is the 1080v15 suitable for marathons?
Yes, its focus on comfort and energy return makes it well-suited for long-distance training and marathon-pace runs.
How does the sizing compare to previous 1080 models?
The 1080v15 maintains a standard fit, but the total redesign may feel slightly different in the forefoot; consider trying your standard size first.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While primarily a running shoe, they provide enough stability for light gym work, though a dedicated cross-trainer is better for heavy lateral movements.
How often should I replace these shoes?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles depending on your running style and the surfaces you frequent.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, they are designed with breathable mesh materials which are not waterproof.
Do these provide arch support?
The 1080v15 is designed as a neutral shoe; it offers moderate support suitable for most arch types, but is not specifically classified as a motion-control shoe.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Try the 'runner's loop' lacing technique to secure the heel lock.
Foam feels less responsive over time
Ensure you are rotating your shoes to allow at least 24 hours for the cushioning material to recover its shape.
Difficulty cleaning light-coloured mesh areas
Use a soft-bristled brush with a mild soap solution to gently scrub the fabric, then rinse lightly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, verify your UK size (8.5 for this variant). These shoes are compatible with standard running socks; avoid overly thick socks to maintain the intended fit.
Care Instructions:
- Wipe clean with a damp cloth after running in muddy conditions.
- Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the cushioning foam.
- Remove the insoles periodically to air out and prevent moisture buildup.
- Rotate with another pair of trainers to allow the cushioning cells to fully decompress between runs.
