FAQs
Who is the New Balance 1080v15 designed for?
The 1080v15 is designed for adult male runners looking for a comfortable, cushioned shoe for everyday running, long distances, and recovery runs. It's best suited for neutral pronators.
What is the main improvement in the 1080v15?
The primary improvement is the all-new cushioning technology, which offers enhanced cushioning and energy return for long-lasting performance, along with a significant visual redesign.
How do I clean my 1080v15 trainers?
Clean using a mild soap and cold water with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid machine washing and harsh detergents. Always air dry.
Can I use these shoes for marathon training?
Yes, the enhanced cushioning and energy return make them very suitable for marathon training, especially for covering long distances comfortably.
Do these trainers require a break-in period?
While they offer immediate comfort, a short break-in period of 10-20 miles is recommended to allow the cushioning to adapt to your foot and running style.
Are these shoes suitable for trail running?
The 1080v15 is primarily designed for road running. While they can handle light, firm trails, they are not ideal for technical or muddy terrain due to the outsole design.
What does 'enhanced energy return' mean for my run?
It means the midsole material is designed to compress and then rebound more effectively, helping to return some of the energy you put into each stride, potentially making your run feel easier and more efficient.
How does the sizing typically run for New Balance trainers?
New Balance trainers generally run true to size for most runners. However, it's always best to consult the size chart and try them on with your preferred running socks to ensure a proper fit.
Troubleshooting
Unusual noise during a run
Check for any debris lodged in the outsole or midsole. Ensure laces are tied correctly. If the noise persists, it might indicate an internal issue with the cushioning unit.
Shoes feel too tight or too loose
Adjust lacing technique to customize the fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. If the problem persists, the size might not be suitable; consider trying a different size or width.
Cushioning feels different than expected
New cushioning technologies can feel different from previous versions. Allow the shoes a break-in period of 10-20 miles. If the cushioning still doesn't meet expectations, it may not be the right model for your preference.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for optimal performance on dry to slightly damp surfaces. For very wet conditions, exercise caution, as grip may be reduced compared to specialized wet-weather shoes.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After runs, brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials and cushioning.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never place them in a dryer or near direct heat sources, as this can cause the materials to warp or shrink.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Rotation: For maximum longevity, consider rotating your 1080v15s with another pair of running shoes, allowing them to fully dry out and recover between runs.
