FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While the Fuel Cell technology offers responsiveness, these trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle wear and retro running style. For serious athletic training, dedicated running shoes may be more appropriate.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart for accurate measurements. These are unisex trainers, so consult the equivalent women's or men's sizing if needed.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the suede, synthetic materials, and the midsole technology.

What is the main advantage of the Fuel Cell technology?

Fuel Cell technology provides enhanced energy return and cushioning, leading to dynamic reflexes, increased springiness, and reduced foot fatigue during wear.

Do the reflective details make a significant difference in visibility?

Yes, the subtle reflective details are designed to catch light in low-light conditions, enhancing visibility for added safety when walking or commuting after dark.

What does 'Made in USA' signify for this product?

It signifies that a higher percentage of the value of the shoe is incorporated in domestic production, indicating high-quality craftsmanship and materials sourced or manufactured in the USA.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears matted or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For tougher stains, apply a suede cleaner sparingly and follow the product's instructions carefully. Allow to air dry completely.

Laces becoming worn or dirty

Remove laces and hand wash with mild detergent. Replace laces if they show signs of significant wear or fraying.

General discomfort after initial wear

Allow for a break-in period, as the Fuel Cell technology and premium materials adapt to your foot shape. Wear for shorter durations initially and gradually increase wear time.

Reduced cushioning or support over time

Ensure the shoes are not subjected to excessive moisture or extreme conditions. Regular cleaning and proper storage will help maintain performance.
