FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathons?
The 1080v15 is primarily designed as a daily trainer for comfort, but its high-level cushioning makes it a viable option for marathon training and long-distance endurance runs.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While they excel at running, the plush cushioning can feel slightly unstable for heavy weightlifting or lateral-movement exercises; they are best kept for cardio-focused activities.
How do I choose the correct size?
We recommend choosing your standard UK running shoe size; however, ensure you have a thumb-width of space in the toe box for swelling during longer runs.
How long will the cushioning last?
Like most high-performance trainers, you can expect optimal responsiveness for approximately 400 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.
Is the upper material waterproof?
No, the polyester mesh is designed for maximum breathability and ventilation, meaning it is not waterproof.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slippage in the heel area
Adjust the laces using a 'runner's loop' or heel-lock lacing technique to secure the ankle.
Accumulation of dust on the mesh upper
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface debris after every few runs to keep the material breathable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, verify your size using the UK standard measurements provided. As these are technical trainers, it is recommended to wear them with moisture-wicking running socks to enhance the breathability of the polyester upper. For cleaning, avoid the washing machine; instead, gently wipe away dirt with a soft brush or a damp cloth using mild soap. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a shaded, well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators to preserve the integrity of the foam cushioning.
