FAQs
What makes the InfiniFoam midsole special?
The InfiniFoam midsole is engineered to provide an exceptionally soft feel combined with high responsiveness. It absorbs impact effectively, ensuring comfort during long runs, while also returning energy to propel you forward.
Are these shoes suitable for trail running?
No, the New Balance 1080v15 trainers are specifically designed for road running. Their outsole and cushioning are optimized for paved surfaces and may not provide adequate grip or durability on trails.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The fit should be snug around the heel and midfoot without being constricting, and offer enough room in the toe box.
What is the benefit of the mesh upper?
The mesh upper promotes airflow, allowing heat and moisture to escape. This keeps your feet cooler and drier, enhancing comfort, especially during warmer weather or intense running sessions.
How often should I replace my running shoes?
Most running shoes, including the 1080v15, typically last between 300 to 500 miles. This can vary based on your weight, running form, the surfaces you run on, and the specific shoe construction.
What makes the TCS London Marathon edition unique?
This edition features an official TCS London Marathon logo, celebrating the event. While offering the same performance as the standard 1080v15, it holds special appeal for runners and fans associated with the marathon.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Washing machines can damage the delicate materials, cushioning, and adhesives. Hand washing with mild soap and cold water is the preferred method.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system. Try different lacing techniques or ensure you are using the correct size. Refer to New Balance sizing guides if unsure.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
Cushioning naturally degrades with mileage. For optimal performance, consider replacing shoes after 300-500 miles of use, depending on terrain and running style.
Traction issues on wet surfaces
While the rubber outsole provides good traction, wet surfaces can be inherently slippery. Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. For extreme conditions, consider shoes with specialized wet-weather grip.

Care Instructions:
