FAQs
Is the 1080v15 suitable for wide feet?
The 1080v15 is designed with a flexible upper, but New Balance often offers specific widths for their popular models; check the product label to see if your specific variant is marked as standard or wide.
Can I use these for cross-training or gym sessions?
While excellent for running and walking, the soft cushioning is primarily optimized for linear motion; for heavy lateral movements or weightlifting, a firmer sole is often recommended.
How often should I replace my 1080v15 trainers?
Generally, running shoes lose their structural integrity and cushioning efficacy between 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the polyester upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. They will absorb moisture if used in heavy rain.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
We recommend measuring your feet in the afternoon when they are at their largest, and using the UK sizing guide to compare against your current comfortable trainers.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure points on the top of the foot
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to a 'window' or 'gap' lacing technique to relieve pressure on the bridge.
Slippage in the heel area
Use the extra eyelet at the top of the shoe to create a 'runner's knot' or 'heel lock' lacing configuration.
Rapid wear on the outsole
Check your gait for excessive dragging and ensure you are rotating your shoes to allow the foam compression to reset between uses.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your 1080v15 trainers, it is essential to focus on proper sizing. As these are technical trainers, ensure you have roughly a half-thumb's width of space at the front of the shoe to accommodate natural foot swelling during runs. For care, avoid machine washing or drying, as high temperatures can degrade the cushioning foam and synthetic adhesives. Instead, spot clean the polyester exterior with a soft brush and mild soap. If the shoes become soaked, remove the insoles and stuff the interior with paper towels, allowing them to air dry in a cool, ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
