Description
The New Balance 1080 v15 solidifies it's spot as the ultimate premium max-cushion daily trainer. Engineered for runners and walkers who refuse to sacrifice comfort over high weekly mileage, the updated 1080v15 introduces ground breaking underfoot technology to deliver a lighter, more energetic, and highly resilient ride.
Whether you are clocking easy recovery miles, deep into a marathon training block, or looking for the most comfortable walking shoes for all-day wear, the New Balance 1080 v15 cradles your feet and protects your joints from heavy pavement impact.
All-New Infinion™ Midsole Technology
The headline upgrade for the v15 is the introduction of New Balance’s state-of-the-art Infinion™ supercritical foam. Stepping away from standard Fresh Foam X, this TPE-based blend delivers a massive leap in energy return. It compresses softly to absorb shock but springs back smoothly, ensuring your legs feel fresh even at the tail-end of a 10-mile long run.
Premium Breathable Knit Upper & Custom Fit
Featuring a re-engineered woven knit upper with moulded contour detailing, the 1080 v15 offers exceptional midfoot lock-down without creating friction or hot spots. To eliminate the standard rule of "sizing up for swelling," the v15 is available in widths—Standard and Wide — making it one of the best walking and running shoes for wide feet on the market today.
Fluid Rocker Geometry
The strategically shaped forefoot rocker and heel bevel work harmoniously with your natural gait cycle. This geometry forces a incredibly smooth heel-to-toe transition, naturally pushing you forward into your next stride.
