New Balance 1080v15 Trainers - Blue/Grey - UK 5

Yes, the 1080v15 is designed for long-lasting performance and enhanced cushioning, making it a suitable choice for marathon training and race day.

The 1080v15 features an all-new cushioning technology for enhanced comfort and energy return, along with a significant visual redesign.

While primarily designed for running, the 1080v15 can be used for general gym workouts due to their cushioning and stability. However, for activities requiring lateral support, like weightlifting, dedicated cross-training shoes might be more appropriate.

The 1080v15 is generally recommended for runners with a neutral foot pronation, offering ample cushioning and support.

Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water solution, and wipe clean. Always air dry.

The specific materials can vary slightly depending on the exact variant, but typically include engineered mesh uppers for breathability and advanced foam compounds for the midsole cushioning.

The standard 1080v15 trainers are not waterproof. They are designed for breathability, which means they are not resistant to water penetration.

This can sometimes occur due to friction between internal components. Try wearing thicker socks or check if the insole is properly seated. If the noise persists, it might indicate an issue with the midsole and professional inspection may be needed.

Ensure the shoes are clean and free from debris that might be affecting the cushioning. If the shoes have been exposed to extreme temperatures, this can temporarily affect cushioning. Allow them to return to room temperature. If the reduction is significant and persistent, the cushioning may have naturally compressed over time.

Verify you have the correct size and width. Incorrect fit is the most common cause of discomfort. Ensure socks are properly worn and not bunched up. If the issue persists, consider trying a different lacing technique or consulting with a running specialist.
