New Balance 1080v15 Trainers - Black/Green - UK 12.5

The 1080v15 is ideal for neutral runners who need a highly cushioned shoe for daily training, long runs, and high mileage. It can also work for runners seeking comfort and shock absorption.

The all-new cushioning technology offers improved responsiveness and energy return while maintaining a soft, protective feel, designed for enhanced long-lasting performance.

While they offer excellent cushioning, they are primarily designed as a daily trainer. For faster race-day performance, you might consider a lighter, more performance-oriented shoe, but the 1080v15 can be used for longer, endurance-focused races where comfort is paramount.

No, the 1080v15 trainers are not waterproof. They are designed with breathable materials for comfort during runs, making them suitable for dry to slightly wet conditions, but not for heavy rain or deep puddles.

The specific variant described uses Leather for its upper. Other variants may use different materials like Polyester or Nylon.

Clean the exterior with a soft brush or damp cloth. For insoles, remove and hand wash with mild soap and water, then air dry. Avoid machine washing or drying.

The main differences between variants typically lie in colorways and sometimes the specific upper materials used (e.g., Leather, Suede, Polyester, Nylon). The core cushioning technology and fit remain consistent across the 1080v15 series.

Allow for a break-in period of 10-20 miles. Wear them for shorter runs first to let the cushioning adapt to your foot shape and gait.

Ensure the laces are tied correctly, using a runner's knot or heel lock if necessary. Check if the size is appropriate; a slightly larger size can cause heel slippage.

Clean the shoes according to care instructions. While cushioning is designed for longevity, extreme conditions or heavy use can accelerate wear. Consider rotating with another pair of shoes if running very high mileage.
