FAQs
What makes the 1080v15 different from previous models?
The 1080v15 features a brand-new cushioning technology designed for enhanced performance and comfort, along with a significant update to its visual appearance.
Are these shoes suitable for trail running?
These trainers are primarily designed for road running and everyday use. They may not provide adequate grip or protection for technical trail running.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by New Balance, and consider your personal preference for fit. The product description lists this specific item as UK size 9.5.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method to maintain material integrity.
What is the expected lifespan of the cushioning?
The cushioning is engineered for long-lasting performance, but its effectiveness can depend on factors like running frequency, distance, and surface. Typically, significant cushioning degradation occurs between 300-500 miles of running.
What color variations are available?

Are these trainers waterproof?
The trainers are not designed to be waterproof. They offer breathability for comfort, but will not keep your feet dry in wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try wearing them with thinner socks or allow for a break-in period of a few shorter runs.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time
Clean the shoes as per the care instructions. While the cushioning is designed for longevity, excessive wear and tear in extreme conditions may eventually impact performance. Consider replacement after significant mileage (typically 300-500 miles).
Slipping on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for optimal grip on dry to moderately wet road surfaces. For extremely wet or slick conditions, exercise caution or consider footwear with more aggressive tread patterns.
