Full details

FAQs
Is the 1080v15 suitable for marathons?
Yes, the cushioning and impact absorption are specifically designed to support the needs of long-distance runners, making them an excellent choice for marathon training.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and individual weight.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While excellent for running and light cardio, the high-stack cushioning may not provide the lateral stability needed for heavy weightlifting.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the trainers are designed for breathability and are not constructed with waterproof membranes.
Do I need to break these in?
The 1080v15 is designed to feel comfortable right out of the box, though a few short walks or light runs are recommended to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure points on the top of the foot
Adjust the lacing pattern to a window-lacing technique to alleviate pressure on the sensitive areas of the midfoot.
Visible dirt accumulation on the upper material
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution and a soft-bristled brush to gently lift dirt from the knit/synthetic upper.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe away loose dirt and debris with a soft, dry brush after each run.
- Stain Removal: Use a damp cloth with mild soap for localized stains; avoid submerging in water.
- Drying: Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, as extreme heat can degrade the foam integrity.
- Storage: Keep in a well-ventilated area to prevent moisture buildup inside the lining.
