New Balance 1080 V15 (D Wide) Women's Running Shoes

New Balance 1080 v15 D Wide Women’s Running Shoes

The New Balance 1080 v15 D Wide Women’s Running Shoes are premium road running shoes built for runners who prioritise cushioning and need more room through the forefoot. Designed for daily training, long runs and recovery sessions, the 1080 v15 combines New Balance's Infinion midsole with a breathable engineered mesh upper for a soft, smooth ride across your weekly kilometres.

This version of the 1080 v15 comes in a women’s D Wide fit, providing additional space compared with the standard width. That extra room makes an important difference if you have a wider foot or find standard running shoes restrictive through the forefoot, particularly as your feet expand during longer runs.

The Infinion midsole provides soft, consistent cushioning with improved energy return. The aim here is sustained comfort rather than simply making the shoe feel soft underfoot. It remains responsive as the kilometres build, giving the 1080 v15 the versatility to handle everything from regular daily mileage to longer runs and easier recovery sessions.

A contoured engineered mesh upper provides breathability while adapting naturally around the foot. Additional cushioning around the tongue and heel helps reduce pressure points, an important detail when you're spending more time on your feet or running on consecutive training days.

Who is the New Balance 1080 v15 D Wide best for?
