FAQs
Are the New Balance 1080v15 suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the enhanced cushioning and energy return make them a strong choice for marathon training and race day, providing comfort and support over long distances.
What type of runner is the 1080v15 best suited for?
The 1080v15 is best suited for neutral runners who want a highly cushioned and comfortable shoe for everyday training, long runs, and recovery runs.
How does the cushioning technology in the 1080v15 differ from previous models?
The 1080v15 features an 'all-new cushioning technology' designed for improved long-lasting performance, enhanced cushioning, and better energy return compared to older iterations.
Can I use these shoes for cross-training?
While they offer good cushioning, the 1080v15 is primarily designed for running. For cross-training activities involving lateral movements, dedicated cross-training shoes might offer better stability and support.
What is the expected lifespan of the New Balance 1080v15 trainers?
Typically, running shoes like the 1080v15 are expected to last between 300 to 500 miles, but this can vary based on running form, weight, terrain, and care.
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 heel should feel secure without slipping, and the midfoot should be snug but not tight.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort during the first few runs
New running shoes often require a short break-in period. Try wearing them for shorter runs initially and gradually increase the distance.
Slipping or heel lift
Ensure the laces are tied correctly, using a runner's knot if necessary, to secure the heel. Check if the size is appropriate.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
Cushioning can degrade after significant mileage. Consider replacement after approximately 300-500 miles, depending on usage and surface.
Upper material shows wear quickly
Avoid abrasive activities outside of running. Ensure proper cleaning and drying methods are used to preserve the materials.
