FAQs
What makes the cushioning in the 1080v15 different?
The 1080v15 features an all-new cushioning technology specifically engineered for enhanced cushioning and improved energy return, designed for long-lasting performance.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the enhanced cushioning and energy return make them well-suited for marathon training and race day, providing comfort and support over long distances.
What type of foot strike is this shoe best for?
The 1080v15 is designed to be a neutral running shoe, offering versatility for various foot strikes, including heel, midfoot, and forefoot strikers.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the midfoot should offer a snug, comfortable fit.
Can I use these shoes for cross-training or gym workouts?
While they offer good cushioning, they are optimized for running. For activities requiring significant lateral support, dedicated cross-training shoes might be more appropriate.
What is the expected lifespan of the New Balance 1080v15 trainers?
The lifespan varies depending on usage, mileage, and terrain, but typically, running shoes like the 1080v15 are recommended to be replaced every 300-500 miles (480-800 km) or when signs of wear are evident.
Are there other color options available for the 1080v15?
Yes, the 1080v15 is available in various colorways. Please check the product listings for available options.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort during initial wear
The new cushioning may require a break-in period. Try wearing them for shorter durations initially and gradually increase mileage. Ensure proper lacing technique for a secure fit.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
Cushioning naturally degrades with extensive use. Regularly clean the shoes to prevent debris from affecting performance. If the issue persists after significant mileage (typically 300-500 miles), consider replacement.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While designed for road running, traction may be reduced on very wet or slippery surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions. Ensure the outsole is clean from mud or debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These trainers require no specific setup. Simply lace them up and go.
Compatibility: Designed primarily for road running and general athletic activities. They are compatible with most running surfaces but are optimized for paved paths and treadmills.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water solution with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials and cushioning.
- Drying: Air dry shoes naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
