FAQs

How do I know if I have the right size?
You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The fit should be snug around the heel and midfoot without feeling tight.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from a combination of synthetic and nylon materials, designed for breathability and comfort.
How often should I replace my 1080v15 trainers?
It's generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles, or when you notice a significant decrease in cushioning or support.
Troubleshooting
Slight discomfort on first wear
New shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter runs initially and gradually increase mileage to allow them to mold to your feet.
Reduced cushioning over time
Cushioning can degrade with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes after approximately 300-500 miles, depending on running surface and individual wear patterns.
Laces coming undone frequently
Try a different lacing technique, such as a surgeon's knot, or ensure the laces are tied securely and are not excessively worn.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The New Balance 1080v15 trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. For the Black/Grey size 10 Wide model, check that the fit is snug but not constricting.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for running on roads, treadmills, and light trails. They are not specialized for track or extreme off-road conditions.
Care:
- Cleaning: After runs, remove excess dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials and cushioning.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. This helps preserve the materials and cushioning integrity.
