Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Refer to New Balance's official sizing chart and measure your foot carefully. If possible, try on a pair before purchasing or check the return policy of the retailer.
Leather appears scuffed or dirty
Use a leather cleaner specifically designed for the type of leather. For minor scuffs, a leather conditioner or a specialized eraser may help. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
