Even on race day, the 1080v14 stands out. The new outsole design contributes to a propulsive feel, giving you an extra spring in your step when you need to pick up the pace.

Your New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080v14 shoes are ready to wear right out of the box. While many runners find them comfortable immediately, a short 'break-in' period over a few shorter runs can help the shoes conform optimally to your unique foot shape. Ensure laces are tied securely but not too tightly to avoid pressure points.
Designed for adult female runners, the Fresh Foam X 1080v14 offers a versatile fit and ride suitable for a wide range of foot types and running styles. Its balanced cushioning and support make it a great choice for neutral runners, and its adaptability can benefit those needing a comfortable daily trainer. As with any running shoe, individual fit preferences vary, so ensuring the correct size (UK 3 for this variant) is crucial.
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your running shoes:
Cleaning: Gently remove dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and cold water. Do not machine wash or machine dry your shoes, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause materials to degrade.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider stuffing them with newspaper after runs to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
Material: The upper is made of polyester. Be mindful of harsh chemicals that could degrade the fabric.
