FAQs
Is the New Balance 1080v15 suitable for wide feet?
The 1080 series generally offers a accommodating fit, but always check for 'Wide' or 'Extra Wide' specific models if you require additional room in the toe box.
Can I use these for marathon training?
Yes, the 1080v15 is specifically designed for high-mileage training, making it an excellent choice for marathon prep.
How often should I replace these shoes?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and gait.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the polyester upper is designed for breathability and will not keep your feet dry in heavy rain.
What is the primary material used in the upper?
The standard version of the 1080v15 uses high-quality, durable polyester, though some variants may use alternative materials like leather or suede.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping at the heel
Try the 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing technique to increase tension around the ankle collar.
Midsole foam feels compressed after heavy use
Rotate your trainers with another pair of shoes to allow the foam 24-48 hours to decompress and recover its shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 1080v15 trainers, start by ensuring a proper fit; since these are neutral trainers, they should feel snug through the midfoot without pinching the toes. For care, avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can compromise the integrity of the foam cushioning and the polyester mesh upper. Instead, clean the exterior with a soft brush or a damp cloth using mild soap. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material warping.
