Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Refer to the New Balance size chart for UK sizing conversions. Ensure the laces are adjusted properly for a snug fit. Consider trying them on in-store if possible.
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a specialized suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For persistent stains, consult a suede cleaner product and follow its instructions carefully. Always test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first.
Reduced comfort over time
