FAQs
What makes the cushioning technology in the 1080v15 'all-new'?
The 'all-new' cushioning technology refers to a proprietary foam compound developed by New Balance that offers a unique combination of softness, responsiveness, and durability, designed to maximize comfort and energy return over long distances.
Is this shoe suitable for neutral runners or those with overpronation?
The 1080v15 is designed as a highly cushioned, neutral running shoe. It provides ample support for neutral foot strikes but may not offer sufficient stability for severe overpronation without the addition of custom orthotics.
How does the 1080v15 differ from previous 1080 models?
The 1080v15 features an updated cushioning system for enhanced performance and energy return, along with a complete visual redesign. While maintaining the core identity of a premium cushioned trainer, it offers a more modern aesthetic and advanced materials.
Can I wear these shoes for activities other than running?
While the 1080v15 provides excellent comfort and cushioning, it is specifically engineered for running. For other activities like weightlifting or court sports, specialized footwear is recommended to ensure proper support and prevent injury.
What does it mean that this model is 'designed for the TCS London Marathon'?
This specific version features the official TCS London Marathon logo. While the shoe's performance features are optimized for marathon distances, the branding signifies a connection to this particular event, appealing to participants or fans.
How do I know if I have the right size?
A proper fit should allow about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the midfoot should be snug but not constricting. Trying them on at the end of the day, when feet are typically largest, is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Slight discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the laces are tied correctly, not too tight or too loose. Consider wearing them for shorter periods initially to allow your feet to adapt. Check that the socks being worn are appropriate running socks.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The cushioning may naturally compress after significant mileage. If performance notably decreases, it might be time to consider replacement. Ensure the shoes have been cared for according to instructions.
Tread wear on the outsole
Normal wear and tear is expected with regular use. If excessive wear is occurring prematurely, check for any underlying issues with running form or surface consistency.
