New Balance 1080 Trainers - Blue/Grey - UK 8.5

The 1080v15 is a neutral running shoe, meaning it does not offer specific pronation control. While many runners with flat feet find neutral shoes comfortable, those who require significant arch support or motion control might benefit from a stability shoe. It's always best to try them on or consult with a running specialist.

The 1080v15 features a brand-new cushioning technology designed for enhanced performance, improved cushioning, and better energy return compared to older models.

While versatile, these shoes are primarily designed for running. For gym workouts or cross-training that involves lateral movements, a shoe with a wider base and more lateral stability might be more appropriate.

Typically, running shoes like the 1080v15 last between 300 to 500 miles (approx. 500 to 800 kilometers), depending on your running style, weight, and the surfaces you run on.

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the chart. Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when trying them on.

No, the New Balance 1080v15 trainers are not waterproof. They are designed for breathability, which means they will allow water to enter. For wet weather running, consider waterproof running shoe covers or waterproof running shoes.

Ensure you have the correct size and width. Try wearing them with different types of running socks. If discomfort persists after a few runs, consider if a different model might be a better fit for your foot shape.

Cushioning naturally degrades over many miles. If you have logged over 300-500 miles, the shoe's performance may be diminished. Consider replacing them. Ensure the shoe is clean, as debris can sometimes affect performance.

Check the outsole for wear. If the tread is significantly worn down, it may be time for a new pair. Ensure you are running on appropriate surfaces for the shoe's design.
