FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for a wide foot?
The 1080v15 features a standard fit. If you have particularly wide feet, it is recommended to visit a store to test the fit, as the structure is tailored to a specific athletic silhouette.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While excellent for running and walking, the plush cushioning is optimized for linear movement. They may feel slightly unstable for heavy lateral-motion exercises like side lunges.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from breathable polyester, designed to offer a balance of comfort, weight reduction, and durability.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Generally, running shoes of this caliber should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and individual gait.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, the internal insole can be removed, which is useful if you require custom orthotic inserts.
How do I maintain the color vibrancy?
Keep the shoes out of direct sunlight when not in use, as prolonged UV exposure can cause the grey and purple tones to fade over time.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels unstable inside the shoe
Re-lace the shoes using a runner's loop at the top eyelet to secure the heel more effectively.
Visible surface stains on the grey fabric
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution and a soft-bristled brush to gently spot-clean the area.
Midsole foam appears compressed
Ensure the shoes have at least 24 hours of rest between runs to allow the cushioning foam to recover its shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your 1080v15 trainers, verify your UK size (e.g., 4.5) to account for the specialized internal geometry. When putting on the shoes, ensure the tongue is centered and the laces are tensioned evenly across the midfoot to lock the heel in place. For cleaning, remove surface dirt with a soft brush and use a damp cloth with mild soap; do not submerge the shoes in water or place them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the specialized cushioning foam. Allow the trainers to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the material.
