Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable on first wear.
This is common with new cushioning technology. Wear the shoes for short periods initially (e.g., walking, short runs) to allow them to break in and mold to your foot shape.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time.
Ensure the shoes are not exposed to excessive heat or moisture, which can degrade the foam. Clean them gently as per care instructions and avoid machine washing.
Soles appear to be separating.
Check if this is a manufacturing defect. If the shoe is within its warranty period, contact the retailer or New Balance customer service. Avoid excessive force or improper drying methods.
Inconsistent feel between shoes.
Verify that both shoes have been cared for identically and have not sustained different levels of wear or damage. Check for any debris lodged in the midsole or outsole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no setup. They are ready to wear straight out of the box. It is recommended to wear them for a short, easy run initially to allow your feet to adapt to the new cushioning.
Compatibility: The 1080v15 is designed as a neutral running shoe, making it compatible with a wide range of foot types. It is best suited for road running surfaces. It is not specifically designed for trail running or intense track workouts.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your 1080v15 trainers:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid machine washing, as this can damage the cushioning and materials.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Remove insoles for drying if they become excessively wet.
- Rotation: For runners who run frequently, rotating between multiple pairs of shoes can extend the life of each pair and reduce the risk of injury.
