New Balance 1080v15 - Grey/Green Trainers - UK 8.5

Yes, the Fresh Foam X 1080v15 is designed with significant cushioning and a smooth ride, making it suitable for marathon distances. However, personal preference for cushioning and support on long runs can vary.

While the cushioning is excellent for running, the design is optimized for forward motion. For stability-focused gym activities like weightlifting, a shoe with a flatter, more stable base might be preferable. They are excellent for treadmill running or warm-ups.

The New Balance 1080v15 has a heel offset of 6mm.

Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water. Gently clean the area and allow the shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat.

The shoe weighs approximately 302g (based on men's sizing).

No, the 1080v15 is designed for road running and general wear. The engineered mesh upper and outsole are not designed for the rugged terrain and debris found on trails.

The 1080v15 features a refined Fresh Foam X midsole with a thoughtful geometry for improved speed and transitions, a slightly stiffer forefoot compared to the v13, and an updated engineered mesh upper for enhanced breathability and style.

Ensure you have measured your foot correctly. If the issue persists, consider trying a different size or width if available. Refer to the New Balance sizing guide.

The engineered mesh may become clogged with dirt. Gently clean the upper with a soft brush and mild soap solution, then rinse and air dry.

Check your running gait and stride. If you notice uneven wear, it might indicate a need for orthotics or a different type of shoe. Consult a running specialist.

Fresh Foam X cushioning often requires a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for shorter periods initially, and the cushioning should adapt to your foot.
