FAQs
What makes the cushioning in the 1080v15 different?
The 1080v15 features an all-new proprietary foam compound designed to offer enhanced softness, improved responsiveness, and greater durability compared to previous versions.
Is this shoe suitable for speedwork?
While the 1080v15 offers good energy return, its primary design is for comfort and long-distance cushioning. For dedicated speedwork, a lighter, more performance-oriented shoe might be preferred, but it can handle tempo runs.
How does the 1080v15 compare to previous 1080 models?
The 1080v15 introduces a completely new cushioning system and a revised aesthetic. It aims to provide a more advanced blend of soft cushioning and energetic feel.
Can I wear these shoes for walking?
Yes, the comfort and cushioning make the 1080v15 suitable for walking, especially for long periods, though they are optimized for running.
What is the upper made of?
The upper is typically constructed with a engineered mesh for breathability and a comfortable, adaptive fit.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by New Balance and measure your foot. Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the 1080v15 is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. For wet conditions, consider a waterproof-specific running shoe.
Troubleshooting
Slight stiffness on first wear
The shoe may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter runs initially until they conform to your foot.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
Ensure the shoes are not overused and are cleaned appropriately. Mileage and wear patterns can affect cushioning; consider replacement after significant mileage (typically 300-500 miles).
Discomfort in the arch area
Verify you have the correct size. If discomfort persists, consider using an aftermarket insole if you require more specific arch support.
