FAQs
What type of runner is the 1080v15 best suited for?
The 1080v15 is ideal for adult female runners seeking a comfortable, cushioned shoe for everyday training, long runs, and recovery runs. It also offers enough responsiveness for runners who want to incorporate some faster paces.
How does the cushioning compare to previous versions?
The 1080v15 features updated Fresh Foam X cushioning designed for enhanced, long-lasting performance with improved cushioning and energy return compared to prior models.
Is the shoe suitable for racing?
While very comfortable and responsive, the primary design focus is on everyday training and comfort. For dedicated racing, lighter, more specialized racing flats might be preferred, but the 1080v15 can certainly be used for shorter races or by runners prioritizing cushioning.
What is the weight of the shoe?
The New Balance 1080v15 weighs approximately 237g.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The heel offset is 6mm, with a stack height of 32mm in the heel and 26mm in the forefoot.
Can I wear these shoes for activities other than running?
Yes, due to their comfort and stylish design, the 1080v15 can be worn for casual everyday use and walking.
How do I clean the engineered mesh upper?
Gently wipe with a damp cloth. For more persistent dirt, use a soft brush with mild soap and cold water, then rinse and air dry. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight
Ensure laces are loosened appropriately. Consider if this model is suitable for your foot width, as it's designed for a standard fit. If the issue persists after adjusting lacing, you may need to explore wider fitting options if available.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
While Fresh Foam X is designed for durability, cushioning can naturally decrease with very high mileage. Check for any physical damage to the midsole. Regular cleaning can help maintain material integrity.
Upper feels less breathable
Ensure the engineered mesh is clear of debris. If the shoe has been heavily soiled, a gentle cleaning might restore some breathability.
