FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The engineered knit upper provides a flexible fit, but it is recommended to check the specific width sizing if you have exceptionally wide feet.

Can I use these for marathon running?

Yes, the Fresh Foam X cushioning is specifically designed to provide comfort over long-distance efforts.

How should I clean the grey knit upper?

Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry debris, followed by a damp cloth with mild soap for any stubborn marks.

Are these true to size?

Yes, most users find the New Balance 1080 series fits true to standard UK shoe sizing.

Is this shoe good for lateral movement sports like tennis?

No, this is a linear training shoe; it does not have the lateral support required for court sports.

Troubleshooting

Foot feels unstable inside the shoe

Adjust the laces using the extra top eyelet to create a runner's loop for a more secure heel lock.

Upper material showing signs of dirt

Gently dab with a mixture of water and mild detergent; avoid soaking the foam directly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior underfoot cushioning for reduced joint impact
  • Breathable engineered knit upper keeps feet cool
  • Versatile design suitable for both gym and casual use
  • Excellent heel stability and lockdown

Cons

  • Cushioning may feel too soft for those preferring high ground-feedback
  • Limited color options outside of the primary grey palette
  • Not intended for high-speed track racing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your trainers, start by ensuring you have the correct size (e.g., the UK 8.5 variant). Upon receiving your shoes, ensure they are laced securely but not overly tight to allow for natural foot swelling during activity. To clean, remove loose dirt with a soft brush and wipe the knit upper with a damp cloth using mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the foam integrity and glue bonds. Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
