Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after long runs
Ensure the laces are adjusted for a secure lockdown without being overtightened, and verify that the shoe size allows for a thumb's width of space at the toes.
Build-up of odor in the upper
Remove the insoles after every run to allow them to air dry separately and use a moisture-absorbing shoe insert if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 1080v15 trainers, follow these maintenance practices:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for shorter walks before attempting long-distance runs to allow the foam to adapt to your foot strike.
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the outsole after each run. For the polyester upper, use a mild soap and a damp cloth; avoid submerging in water or using a washing machine, as this can degrade the structural integrity of the cushioning.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the foam from hardening or the colors from fading.
- Rotation: If running daily, consider alternating with another pair to allow the foam compression to reset fully between uses.
