How long should a pair of 1080v15s last?

Troubleshooting
Sensation of heel slippage
Try using the 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing technique to increase tension around the ankle collar.
Midsole feeling 'dead' or compressed
Ensure the shoes have 24-48 hours to recover between runs, allowing the foam to rebound to its original shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 1080v15 trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These are true-to-size adult trainers; ensure you have a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, allow 20-30 miles for the midsole to fully adapt to your specific foot strike pattern.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or putting them in the washing machine, as this can degrade the foam and glue.
- Air Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Avoid placing the shoes near direct heat sources like radiators, as extreme heat can warp the cushioning materials.
