FAQs

Is the 1080v12 suitable for flat feet?

It is a neutral shoe. If you require significant arch support, consider using custom orthotic inserts.

Can these be used for trail running?

These are designed for road and gym surfaces; the outsole is not optimized for loose or uneven trail terrain.

How often should I replace these trainers?

Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and foam properties. Stick to hand cleaning with a damp cloth.

What is the primary difference with Fresh Foam X?

Fresh Foam X is the latest iteration of New Balance's proprietary foam, offering a softer and more responsive feel compared to original Fresh Foam.

Troubleshooting

Feeling of slipping at the heel

Try the 'runner's loop' lacing technique to secure the heel fit more firmly.

Midsole foam feels damp after cleaning

Remove the inner sockliner and stuff the shoe with newspaper to draw out moisture; do not use a tumble dryer.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly versatile design suitable for gym or road use
  • Breathable upper maintains comfort over long periods
  • Consistent and reliable fit for standard foot shapes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your trainers, follow these guidelines:

  1. Sizing: Ensure you are using your standard UK shoe size as the model fits true to size for most male users.
  2. Break-in: While comfortable out of the box, perform a few light walks before embarking on a long-distance run.
  3. Cleaning: Hand wash using a soft brush and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes in water to maintain the integrity of the foam.
  4. Drying: Air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can deform the midsole materials.
  5. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup in the fabric.
