FAQs
What are these trainers best suited for?
These trainers are best suited for casual wear, daily activities, and light sporty outfits. Their design prioritizes comfort and versatility for everyday use.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
It is highly recommended to try the footwear on before returning it, as the box or label may state a US/Euro size which is different from the UK size. Compare with a measuring guide if possible.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is generally not recommended to machine wash trainers, especially those with synthetic uppers and rubber soles, as it can damage the materials and adhesives. Hand wash using a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper of these trainers is made of synthetic material.
Does the sole provide good grip?
Yes, the sole features a non-slip tread pattern designed to provide good grip and stability.
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports training?
While comfortable for general movement, these trainers are primarily designed for casual and sporty outfits, not for high-impact sports or specialized athletic training that requires performance-specific footwear.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Keeping them in their original box or a shoe bag can help protect them from dust and damage.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Check the size conversion chart provided by New Balance or consult the retailer. Try them on again with the type of socks you would normally wear. Remember that the box or label may display US/Euro sizing which differs from UK sizing.
Sole feels slippery
Ensure the sole is clean and free from mud or debris. The non-slip tread pattern may be less effective on extremely polished or wet surfaces. If the issue persists after cleaning, the shoes may not be suitable for the specific environment.
Discomfort after short wear
Break in the shoes by wearing them for short periods initially. Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit. Consider if the shoe type is appropriate for the activity you are undertaking.
