FAQs
Is the 1080v15 suitable for wide feet?
The standard version is designed with a neutral fit, but the polyester upper offers some natural stretch for a more accommodating feel.
Can I use these for trail running?
These trainers are optimized for road and pavement surfaces; the outsole grip may not provide sufficient traction on loose or technical trails.
How long should the cushioning last?
Typically, you can expect optimal performance for 400 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and gait style.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the polyester upper is designed for breathability and will allow water to pass through if exposed to heavy rain.
Does the 1080v15 offer arch support?
It is designed as a neutral running shoe, providing a balanced, cushioned platform rather than targeted corrective arch support.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Try a 'runner's loop' lacing technique to secure the heel more effectively.
Visible dirt on grey polyester upper
Use a damp microfiber cloth with a tiny amount of mild detergent to gently spot clean.
Midsole feeling stiff in cold weather
Foam may temporarily firm up in freezing temperatures; it will return to normal flexibility once warmed up by body heat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your 1080v15 trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for shorter walks before attempting long-distance runs to allow the foam to adapt to your foot shape.
- Sizing: Ensure a thumb-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to accommodate foot swelling during long runs.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush. Hand wash with mild soap and cold water if necessary; avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the cushioning polymers.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the upper fabric from fading and the midsole foam from premature hardening.
