FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for speed work?
While the 1080v15 is optimized for daily mileage and comfort, it can handle occasional faster efforts, though it is not a dedicated racing spike or speed shoe.
How do I choose the right size?
The New Balance 1080v15 generally runs true to size; we recommend using your standard athletic footwear size as a guide.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if necessary.
Is the material waterproof?
The polyester upper is breathable and designed for airflow, meaning it is not waterproof and may absorb moisture in heavy rain.
What is the primary use case for this shoe?
This trainer is primarily intended for everyday road running, long-distance training, and recovery runs.
How often should I replace my trainers?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and gait.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after the first few runs
Ensure your lacing is not too tight; the 1080v15 is designed for a secure fit, and excessive tension may cause pressure points.
Upper material appears dusty or dirty
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove loose dirt or debris from the polyester fibers before using a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, ensure you have selected your correct UK size for a snug but non-restrictive fit across the forefoot. The shoes are compatible with standard running socks. For long-term care, avoid machine washing your trainers; instead, wipe the polyester upper with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt. Remove the insoles after particularly wet runs to allow the interior to air dry naturally in a cool, shaded area. Keep the shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, as high temperatures can compromise the integrity of the cushioning foam.
