FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
While the standard width is designed for a typical foot, New Balance often offers various width options for popular models. Check availability for wider fittings if needed.
What is the main difference between the 1080v15 and previous versions?
The 1080v15 features an 'all-new cushioning technology' for improved comfort and energy return, along with a refreshed visual design.
Can I use these for trail running?
These trainers are optimized for road running. While they may offer some grip on light trails, they are not specifically designed for technical off-road terrain and may lack the necessary durability and traction.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the midfoot should feel snug but not constricting.
What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?
For daily runners, the 1080v15 is designed for long-lasting performance. However, the lifespan typically ranges from 300-500 miles, depending on running gait, frequency, surface, and care.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, these trainers are not waterproof. They are designed with breathable materials for running comfort, which means they will allow air in but also water if exposed to significant moisture.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
This is common with new cushioning technology. Wear the shoes for progressively longer periods to allow them to break in and mold to your foot shape.
Cushioning feels too soft or unsupportive
Ensure you have the correct size. For some runners, the plush cushioning might feel less supportive than firmer shoes; consider socks that offer more support or explore adding insoles if persistent.
Squeaking noises during wear
This can sometimes occur due to friction between internal shoe components or with the insole. Try removing the insole, checking for debris, and reinserting it. If the noise persists, it may resolve with further use.
