Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 1080v15 is a high-performance trainer designed for neutral runners seeking a balance of soft cushioning and reliable energy return during daily training and long-distance efforts. Featuring the innovative Infinion supercritical midsole, it provides a plush, responsive feel that protects joints during repetitive impact. While it excels in comfort and lightweight performance, runners who prefer a firm, high-ground-feel shoe may find the extreme cushioning too soft for fast-paced speed work.

FAQs
Is the 1080v15 suitable for wide feet?
The 1080v15 features a contoured, flexible mesh upper that accommodates various foot shapes well, though individual sizing preferences may vary.
What is the primary difference between the 1080v15 and previous versions?
The v15 introduces the all-new Infinion supercritical midsole, which offers significantly improved energy return compared to previous iterations.
Can I use these for marathon training?
Yes, the 1080v15 is an excellent choice for marathon training due to its emphasis on long-distance comfort and impact protection.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
The double-layer mesh is breathable, not water-resistant, and will absorb water if running in heavy rain.
How long should the foam last?
While mileage varies based on surface and runner weight, the high-quality supercritical foam typically provides consistent performance for 400-500 miles.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on top of the foot
Try a different lacing technique, such as the 'window lacing' method, to relieve tension over the midfoot.
Outsole debris collection
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove stones or twigs from the strategically placed rubber grooves to maintain traction.
Upper material showing slight creasing
This is normal with double-layer mesh; ensure you use a shoe tree or stuff with newspaper when not in use to help maintain shape.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional cushioning for long-distance comfort
- Lightweight design relative to maximum-cushion class
- Highly breathable upper material
- Plush heel and tongue padding for premium comfort
- Versatile for daily training and recovery runs
Cons
- Midsole may feel too soft for high-speed intervals
- Double-layer mesh can retain heat in very warm climates
- Not intended for technical trail or off-road use
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your New Balance 1080v15, begin by ensuring a proper fit; the contoured mesh upper should feel snug without restricting blood flow. If you wear custom orthotics, the standard insole is removable, allowing for easier insertion of your preferred arch support.
Care Instructions:
- Wipe down the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed after muddy runs.
- Avoid using the washing machine, as high heat can degrade the midsole foam integrity.
- Air dry the shoes in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or radiators.
- Rotate your shoes if training daily to allow the foam to decompress fully between sessions.
