FAQs
Is the 1080v15 suitable for marathons?
Yes, its focus on comfort and energy return makes it an excellent choice for long-distance training and marathon-distance events.
Can I use these for trail running?
These shoes are designed primarily for road and pavement surfaces; they do not have the outsole traction required for technical trail terrain.
How do I determine my size?
The 1080v15 typically fits true to size, but we recommend measuring your feet in the evening when they are slightly swollen for the most accurate fit.
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the structural integrity of the midsole foam.
What is the primary material in the upper?
The upper is constructed from durable, breathable polyester designed for comfort.
Are these suitable for stability needs?
The 1080v15 is a neutral cushioning shoe; it is designed for runners who do not require specific arch support or stability features.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of premature foam compression
Ensure the shoes are given at least 24 hours to recover between runs to allow the midsole foam to return to its original shape.
Minor debris inside the shoe
Regularly remove the internal insole, shake out any trapped grit, and wipe the interior with a dry cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 1080v15 trainers, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, allow 15–20 miles for the foam to settle to your unique foot strike.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush and mild soap to spot-clean the polyester upper. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the cushioning performance.
- Drying: Air dry only in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heaters.
- Rotation: If running daily, consider alternating with another pair of shoes to allow the foam to decompress fully between uses.
