FAQs
What makes the Infinion midsole technology different?
Infinion is a new cushioning technology designed by New Balance to offer enhanced, long-lasting cushioning and improved energy return compared to previous midsole foams.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
While the description notes they 'Fit As Expected For Most People,' New Balance often offers shoes in multiple width options. Check for availability of wide (2E) or extra-wide (4E) sizes if needed.
How should I clean my 1080v15 trainers?
Clean them using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.
What is the weight of the New Balance 1080v15?
The shoes weigh approximately 261 grams (9.2 oz).
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
The 1080v15 is primarily designed for road running. While the rubber outsole offers some grip, it is not specifically engineered for the demands of trail running, which may require more aggressive tread.
What is the primary benefit of the perforated mesh upper?
The perforated mesh upper provides excellent breathability, helping to keep your feet cool and comfortable during your runs.
Do these shoes have a lot of arch support?
The 1080v15 is known for its high level of cushioning, which generally provides good support. However, individual needs vary, and some runners may prefer additional orthotics for specific arch support requirements.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Consider wearing them for short periods initially to allow the shoe to mold to your foot. Check if the laces are tied too tightly.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
Running shoe cushioning degrades with mileage. If you've run over 300-500 miles, it may be time to consider replacement. Ensure the shoes are clean and free of debris that might affect performance.
Upper material feels stiff
The perforated mesh may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short walks or runs to gradually soften the material.
Slipping on the outsole
The rubber outsole is designed for traction, but performance can be affected on very wet or slick surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud or debris.

The 1080v15 is designed for road running and general athletic activities. It is compatible with most running surfaces, including pavement, track, and light trails.
Care:
To maintain the performance and longevity of your New Balance 1080v15 trainers:
- Cleaning: Gently clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the materials.
- Insoles: If removable, take out the insoles and wash them separately with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely.
- Drying: Never machine wash or tumble dry your running shoes. Air dry them at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight. You can stuff them with newspaper to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during the drying process.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
