FAQs

Are the New Balance 1080v15 suitable for wide feet?

While the standard width offers a comfortable fit for many, New Balance often provides specific width options (e.g., 2E, 4E) for many models. Please check availability for wider fits if needed.

How do these compare to the previous 1080v14 model?

The 1080v15 features an all-new Fresh Foam X cushioning technology, a slightly stiffer forefoot for improved responsiveness, and an updated engineered mesh upper for enhanced breathability. The overall geometry has also been refined.

What is the intended use for these trainers?

These trainers are primarily designed for everyday running, offering premium cushioning and comfort for long runs, daily training, and recovery runs. They are also stylish enough for casual wear.

How much do the shoes weigh?

The New Balance 1080v15 trainers weigh approximately 302g (for a men's size). The weight can vary slightly based on the size.

What is the heel-to-toe drop?

The heel offset (drop) for the New Balance 1080v15 is 6mm, with a stack height of 32mm in the heel and 26mm in the forefoot.

Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?

The engineered mesh upper offers breathability but is not waterproof. While they can handle light splashes, they are not designed for running in heavy rain or wet conditions, as water can easily penetrate the upper.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight initially

This is common with new shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time

Check for wear and tear on the outsole and midsole. The cushioning may have compressed after extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes if performance has significantly degraded.

Discomfort in the forefoot area

The updated forefoot geometry may require adjustment. Ensure the lacing is correct and not too tight. If discomfort persists, these shoes might not be the best fit for your biomechanics.

Upper feels less supportive than expected

Ensure the laces are tied correctly to secure the foot within the shoe. The engineered mesh is designed for breathability and flexibility, offering a less restrictive feel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers require no specific setup. Simply lace them up and go. They are designed for compatibility with standard athletic socks. To care for your New Balance 1080v15 trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage the materials.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or box, to protect them from dust and damage.
