FAQs
Is the New Balance 1080v15 suitable for marathons?
Yes, its high-cushioning platform is specifically engineered to provide comfort and energy return over long distances.
How should I clean the polyester upper?
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove debris and a damp cloth with mild soap for surface stains. Never submerge the shoes.
Are these shoes stable for overpronators?
The 1080v15 is designed for neutral runners; those requiring significant stability for overpronation may find more suitable options in the New Balance stability series.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
How long will the cushioning last?

Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort in the arch after runs
Ensure the laces are not pulled too tight across the midfoot and consider swapping the stock insole for one that provides specific arch support if needed.
Upper material showing signs of friction wear
Check if your feet slide inside the shoe during movement; if so, try a runner's loop lacing technique to better secure the heel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your 1080v15 trainers, ensure you are wearing the correct size for your foot arch and width. Before your first run, check that the laces are adjusted to provide a secure lockdown without cutting off circulation. For cleaning, remove loose dirt with a soft brush and use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe the polyester upper; avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the cushioning polymers. Air dry in a cool, shaded area away from direct sunlight.
