The Infinion midsole technology provides enhanced, long-lasting cushioning and improved energy return, making runs more comfortable and responsive.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The product description states the fit is as expected for most people. For wide feet, it is recommended to check for specific wide-fit variants or consult sizing charts to ensure the best fit.
How often should I replace my 1080v15 running shoes?
Running shoe lifespan varies based on usage, mileage, and running style, but a general guideline is every 300-500 miles. Look for signs of wear in the midsole and outsole.

Troubleshooting
Slight discomfort on initial wear
New shoes, especially those with advanced cushioning, may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter runs or walks initially to allow them to adapt to your foot.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
Ensure the shoes are clean and free from debris. Significant wear may naturally reduce cushioning; consider replacement after extensive mileage based on the shoe's lifespan.
Upper feels too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system to achieve a secure but comfortable fit. Ensure you have selected the correct shoe size, as fit is crucial for performance and comfort.
Traction issues on wet surfaces
While the rubber outsole provides good grip, performance on very wet or slippery surfaces can vary. Clean the outsole regularly to ensure optimal tread contact.
