Is the 1080v15 good for long runs?

Yes. It is New Balance's most cushioned daily trainer, built for long and easy miles. Runners who want a soft ride rate it highly for distance.

How does it compare with the 1080v14?

The v15 continues the line's plush cushioning and breathable mesh upper. Expect a similar soft ride rather than a major change in feel.

Most runners take their usual running-shoe size. Some with wider feet find it narrow and size up or choose a wide width.

No. The soft cushioning favors comfort over responsiveness, so it suits easy and long runs better than intervals or racing.

It is a neutral trainer without added stability posting. Runners who need motion control should look at a stability shoe instead.

Yes. The cushioned footbed and breathable upper make it comfortable for all-day wear as well as running.
