Product Information

Full details

The New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080v15 trainers in Afterglow Blue Bird are designed for adult male runners seeking premium performance and style. The key benefit is the blend of exceptional cushioning and a surprisingly lightweight feel, enhanced by a supportive geometry for stability and smooth transitions, even when picking up the pace. A potential caveat is that while versatile, they are specialized running shoes.

FAQs

Are these shoes good for marathon training?

Yes, the Fresh Foam X 1080v15 is designed for long-lasting performance and enhanced cushioning, making it well-suited for marathon training and long-distance running.

Can I wear these for gym workouts?

While primarily a running shoe, their comfort and cushioning can make them suitable for some gym activities. However, for specific training requiring lateral stability (like weightlifting), a dedicated cross-trainer might be more appropriate.

How do I determine my correct size?

It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the New Balance sizing chart. Trying them on, ideally at the end of the day when feet are slightly larger, is the best way to ensure a proper fit.

What is the heel-to-toe drop?

The heel offset is 6mm, which is considered a moderate drop, suitable for many runners.

How does the 'feeling of speed' work?

The combination of the Fresh Foam X midsole's energy return, the updated geometry, and the stiffer forefoot allows for quicker transitions and a more propulsive feel when you increase your pace.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry to mildly wet conditions.

What's the weight of a single shoe?

A single shoe weighs approximately 302g.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have the correct size. Try lacing them with a different pattern to adjust pressure points. If still uncomfortable, consider a different size or width.

Reduced cushioning over time

Fresh Foam X cushioning is designed for durability, but like all foams, it will eventually compress. Ensure proper care and avoid excessive heat. For significantly reduced cushioning, consider replacement.

Upper material feels less breathable

Check the engineered mesh for any debris or blockages. Ensure the insoles are dry and properly placed. Mud or dirt on the exterior may also impede airflow.

Compatibility: Designed as a specialized running shoe for adult males. They are suitable for road running and general fitness activities.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a damp cloth to wipe down the exterior. For interior cleaning, spot clean with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes.
