Is the 1080v15 good for daily running?

Yes. It is designed as a neutral daily trainer with full-length Infinion foam cushioning, best suited to easy and long runs rather than speed work.

How does the 1080v15 differ from the v14?

The v15 uses Infinion foam in the midsole and a perforated mesh upper. The ride stays plush, with the same neutral focus as earlier 1080 versions.

Can I use it for racing or tempo runs?

It is not a race shoe. The soft, tall cushioning favors comfort over speed, so most runners pick a lighter, firmer shoe for fast efforts.

Does it fit true to size?

Most owners say it fits true to size, though some find the upper snug and narrow, so runners between sizes may want to size up.

What kind of runner is it for?

Neutral runners who want maximum cushioning for everyday miles, long runs and recovery days on pavement.

Our take on the New Balance 1080 V15

The New Balance 1080v15 is a neutral daily trainer built around a full-length Infinion foam midsole, the softest cushioning in the 1080 line. A perforated mesh upper keeps air moving on long efforts, and a rubber outsole adds durability underfoot. It suits runners who want maximum cushioning for easy miles and recovery days, and it competes with plush neutral trainers like the Hoka Bondi and Brooks Glycerin. Owners rate the comfort highly but some find the soft foam loses snap on faster runs.
