FAQs
What type of runner is the 1080v15 best suited for?
The 1080v15 is designed for everyday running, offering excellent cushioning and support for neutral runners of all levels, particularly those who run moderate to long distances.
How does the new cushioning technology differ from previous models?
The new cushioning technology in the 1080v15 is engineered for enhanced, long-lasting comfort and improved energy return, providing a more responsive and efficient running experience compared to older versions.
Can I use these trainers for racing?
While they offer good energy return, the 1080v15 is primarily designed for daily training and comfort. For race-specific performance, you might consider lighter, more specialized racing shoes, but the 1080v15 can still perform well for many runners in shorter races.
What materials are used in the New Balance 1080v15?
The trainers utilize a blend of high-quality materials including Leather, Suede, Nylon, and Polyester, depending on the specific colorway, contributing to both durability and comfort.
How do I clean the trainers?
Gently clean with a soft brush or cloth and mild soap with cool water. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or dry.
What is the primary difference between colorways like Grey/Green and Green/Blue?
The primary difference lies in the aesthetic color combination and potentially the specific upper materials used (e.g., Leather, Suede, Nylon, Polyester), which can offer slight variations in feel and durability.
Is this shoe suitable for wide feet?
The product information provided does not specify width options. Standard UK sizing is listed. For wide-fit needs, it's advisable to check for specific width offerings or consult New Balance directly.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Adjust lacing to your preference. If the fit is fundamentally incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size.
Reduced cushioning or energy return over time.
Cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive mileage. Ensure the shoes are cleaned regularly and have not been exposed to extreme conditions. For significantly degraded performance, it may be time to consider replacement.
Squeaking noise during use.
This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components or moisture. Try removing the insole and ensuring the interior is dry. Check laces are not overtightened.
