Next-Gen Infinion™ Midsole: Out with the old Fresh Foam X, in with Infinion. This upgraded, high-stack foam acts as a massive shock-absorber, neutralizing the sharp heel impact that triggers plantar fasciitis flares.
Breathable, Friction-Free Upper: A redesigned, perforated mesh upper allows maximum airflow while eliminating tight pressure points that can cause secondary irritation on the top or sides of the foot.
Ultra Heel design for secure fit
Rubber outsole for durable traction
Available in multiple widths including 4E
Pain Relieving Rocker Geometry: The curved, rockered sole smoothly guides your foot from heel to toe-off. This reduces the amount of mechanical strain and stretching forced onto your plantar fascia ligament with every step.

Orthotic-Ready Volume: Built with a spacious, high-volume interior, the 1080v15 easily accommodates thick over-the-counter insoles or medical custom orthotics.
