FAQs
What type of runner is the 1080v15 best suited for?
The 1080v15 is ideal for neutral runners seeking maximum cushioning and comfort for everyday training, long runs, and recovery runs. It's a versatile shoe suitable for a wide range of mileage.
How does the new Infinion midsole compare to previous Fresh Foam versions?
The Infinion midsole offers an evolution in cushioning technology, aiming for enhanced, long-lasting comfort and a more responsive energy return compared to prior Fresh Foam formulations. It provides a softer feel underfoot with a lively rebound.
Is the fit of the 1080v15 the same as older 1080 models?
While designed to fit as expected for most, the visual and technological updates may result in a slightly different feel. It's always recommended to try them on with your usual running socks to confirm your preferred fit.
Can these shoes be used for speedwork or racing?
While the 1080v15 offers good energy return, it is primarily designed for comfort and durability in daily training. For dedicated speedwork or racing, you might consider a lighter, more performance-oriented shoe, though the 1080v15 can handle some faster paces if needed.
What is the weight of the New Balance 1080v15?
The New Balance 1080v15 weighs approximately 261 grams (8.1 oz) for a men's size, making it a relatively lightweight option for a highly cushioned running shoe.
How should I clean my 1080v15 running shoes?
Clean the shoes using a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying, and let them air dry naturally away from heat.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from a perforated mesh material, which provides lightweight, breathable comfort for your feet.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable on first wear.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try wearing them with your usual running socks. If discomfort persists after a short indoor trial, consider if a different size or model might be more suitable, especially if you are accustomed to different fits.
Reduced cushioning or energy return over time.
The midsole cushioning is designed for long-lasting performance but will naturally degrade after extensive use. The average lifespan for a running shoe is typically between 300-500 miles. Inspect the outsole for significant wear and consider replacement if performance feels diminished.
Upper mesh appears dirty or stained.
Use a soft brush or damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to gently clean the affected area. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry completely. Avoid soaking the shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The New Balance Fresh Foam 1080 v15 trainers are ready to wear right out of the box. Ensure you select the correct UK size for an optimal fit. It is recommended to try them on indoors before your first outdoor run to confirm comfort and fit.
Compatibility: These shoes are designed as male adult running trainers. They are best suited for road running and general fitness activities. While the rubber outsole offers good traction, they are not specifically designed for technical trail running or aggressive off-road conditions.
Care: To maintain the performance and lifespan of your 1080v15 running shoes:
- Cleaning: Gently clean the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage the materials and cushioning.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, which can warp the shoe's structure.
- Storage: Store your running shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Rotating between multiple pairs of running shoes can also extend their life.
