FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the InfiniFoam midsole?
The InfiniFoam midsole provides ultra-soft, responsive cushioning, absorbing impact and offering a smooth, energetic ride for enhanced comfort during runs.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
Yes, the 1080v15 is designed for everyday road running and long-distance efforts, making them suitable for marathon training due to their premium cushioning and support.
How should I clean my New Balance 1080v15 trainers?
Clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. For the interior, use a soft brush. Always air dry them naturally away from direct heat.
Can these shoes be used for trail running?
These trainers are specifically designed for road running. While they may handle light, well-maintained trails, they are not optimized for the rugged terrain and require a different outsole grip.
What does the TCS London Marathon branding signify?
The branding indicates that this is a special edition model created in collaboration with the TCS London Marathon, featuring official race logos.
How long do New Balance running shoes typically last?
Most running shoes, including the 1080v15, are recommended to be replaced after 300-500 miles (480-800 km) of use, or when the cushioning and support feel significantly diminished.
Is the fit true to size?
The fit can vary slightly between individuals. It is always recommended to try them on if possible or consult the New Balance sizing guide and reviews for specific fit feedback.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel uncomfortable or develop hot spots
Ensure the shoes are laced correctly for your foot shape, not too tight or too loose. Consider trying different types of running socks or checking if the shoe size is appropriate.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
Running shoes have a limited lifespan. The InfiniFoam may compress after significant mileage (typically 300-500 miles). Consider replacing the shoes if performance has noticeably degraded.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the outsole is designed for traction, extremely wet or polished surfaces can still pose a risk. Run with caution in such conditions. Ensure the outsole is free from debris.
Mesh upper feels too warm
Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking running socks. For very hot conditions, adequate hydration and running during cooler parts of the day are recommended.
