FAQs
What type of runner is the New Balance 1080v15 best suited for?
The 1080v15 is ideal for neutral runners and those who require ample cushioning for long runs and everyday training. It's designed for comfort and performance over distance.
How does the new cushioning technology differ from previous models?
The all-new cushioning technology in the 1080v15 is engineered for enhanced, long-lasting performance with improved cushioning and greater energy return compared to older versions.
Can I use these trainers for activities other than running?
While designed primarily for running, their comfort and support make them suitable for other athletic activities that involve walking or standing for extended periods. However, for sports requiring lateral stability, specialized shoes are recommended.
How do I know if I have the right size?
There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The shoe should feel snug but not tight around the midfoot and heel.
Is the suede material waterproof?
No, suede is not inherently waterproof. While it offers a premium look, it's advisable to avoid running in very wet conditions or to use a waterproofing spray designed for suede to offer some protection.
What is the warranty period for these trainers?
Please refer to the retailer or New Balance official website for specific warranty information, as it can vary by region and purchase date.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing after first wear
This is common with new shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the cushioning to break in and mold to your foot shape. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
Cushioning can degrade with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes after 300-500 miles or when you notice a significant reduction in comfort and support. Ensure the shoes are clean and free from debris that could affect performance.
Squeaking sound during runs
This can sometimes be caused by moisture trapped in the shoe or friction between components. Ensure the shoes are dry. If the squeaking persists, it might be worth consulting a shoe specialist.
