FAQs
Are the 1080v15 trainers suitable for flat feet?
The 1080v15 is a neutral trainer. While it provides excellent cushioning, individuals with severe overpronation may require additional arch support or an orthotic insert.
Can I put these shoes in the dryer?
No. Excessive heat from a dryer can damage the foam cushioning and the structural integrity of the shoe materials. Always air dry.
How long should these shoes last?
Typical mileage for performance trainers is between 300 and 500 miles, depending on your running surface, body weight, and running gait.
Is the material waterproof?
The polyester material is designed for breathability rather than water resistance. They will get wet in heavy rain.
What is the primary difference between the 1080v15 and previous versions?
The v15 includes significant updates to the cushioning technology to improve energy return and overall comfort, along with a refreshed visual aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure points on the top of the foot
Try adjusting your lacing technique, such as using a window lacing pattern to relieve tension on the specific area.
Shoes feel slippery on wet surfaces
While designed for road use, ensure the outsoles are clear of debris; if traction issues persist, slow your pace on particularly slick or smooth surfaces.
Insole sliding during runs
Ensure the insole is seated correctly in the heel cup; if it persists, ensure you are wearing the correct size and not using aftermarket orthotics that conflict with the shoe geometry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your 1080v15 trainers, start by ensuring a proper fit; there should be a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. When cleaning, avoid the washing machine. Instead, remove surface dirt with a soft brush and clean the polyester upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping or adhesive breakdown. If the insoles become damp from sweat, remove them after use to facilitate faster drying and prevent odor buildup.
