FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The 1080v15 provides a stable base and generous cushioning, which can be comfortable for many; however, if you have severe arch issues, consult a podiatrist regarding the use of custom orthotics.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While excellent for running and light cardio, the high stack height is not optimized for heavy weightlifting or lateral movements where a flatter, firmer sole is preferred.
How long should these shoes last?
Generally, running shoes are rated for 300 to 500 miles depending on your gait, weight, and the surface you run on.
Is the material waterproof?
The polyester upper is breathable and designed for airflow; it is not waterproof and may absorb water during heavy rain.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the standard insoles can be removed to accommodate personal orthotic inserts.
Do these come in different widths?
This guide covers the standard version of the 1080v15; check product availability for specific width options if required.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure points during initial runs
Adjust the lace tension starting from the bottom eyelets to allow more volume in the toe box.
Upper material showing signs of dust or mud
Once dry, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove debris from the polyester weave.
Sensation of instability
Ensure the heel counter is securely positioned and the heel is locked into the shoe before tying the laces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 1080v15 trainers last through your training cycle, follow these care guidelines:
- Sizing: These shoes are true to size; use a professional measuring tool to ensure the UK 11 or other selected size matches your foot arch length.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth with mild soap to spot clean the polyester upper. Do not submerge the shoes in water or place them in a washing machine.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight to prevent material degradation.
- Rotation: If running daily, consider alternating with another pair of shoes to allow the cushioning foam to fully recover its shape after each run.
