FAQs
Is the 1080v15 suitable for marathons?
Yes, its focus on long-lasting comfort and energy return makes it a popular choice for high-mileage training and endurance events.
Does this shoe provide stability for overpronation?
The 1080v15 is designed primarily as a neutral running shoe. If you require significant arch support for overpronation, consider using custom orthotic inserts.
How should I clean the polyester upper?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or machine drying, as the heat and agitation can damage the foam midsole and fabric structure.
Can I use these for gym workouts as well as running?
While excellent for running and light cross-training, these are primarily engineered for forward-motion running and may not provide enough lateral stability for heavy side-to-side gym movements.
How often should I replace my 1080v15s?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and gait.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after the first few runs
The 1080v15 features a new cushioning profile; try shorter, alternating runs over the first week to allow your feet to adapt to the new support structure.
Difficulty maintaining a secure heel fit
Use the extra eyelet at the top of the lacing system to create a runner's loop, which provides a more secure lockdown around the ankle.
Upper material showing signs of dirt buildup
Gently clean the polyester mesh using a mild soap solution and a soft-bristled brush, then rinse carefully and let air dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your New Balance 1080v15, start by verifying the correct UK sizing (available from UK 3 to 8.5). Ensure the laces are adjusted to accommodate your specific foot volume without creating pressure points. For maintenance, keep the shoes away from extreme heat sources such as radiators, which can degrade the cushioning foam. To clean, remove loose dirt with a soft brush and wipe the polyester upper with a damp cloth; avoid soaking the shoe in water or using harsh detergents. Always allow the trainers to air dry in a well-ventilated area.
