FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 530 was originally a running shoe, but the current iterations are best suited for lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer good cushioning, they are not designed for the specific support and impact absorption required for serious athletic running.
How do I clean the leather and mesh parts?
For the leather, use a soft brush or damp cloth with a mild leather cleaner. For mesh and textile areas, a damp cloth or a soft brush with mild soap and water is recommended. Avoid machine washing or soaking the shoes.
What does ABZORB mean?
ABZORB is New Balance's patented technology that combines cushioning and compression resistance. It helps to absorb impact and provide a comfortable, supportive feel underfoot.
Are half sizes available?
Half sizes are available in selected sizes for the New Balance 530 range, though availability may vary.
What is the sole height?
The sole measures approximately 4 CM in height.
Where are these trainers made?
These trainers are made in Vietnam.
Can I wear these with orthotics?
The trainers have a standard fit and a removable insole, which may allow space for some custom orthotics. It's advisable to check the fit with your specific orthotic insert.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring not to overtighten. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate or if the shoes require a brief break-in period.
Discomfort during walking
Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly for a snug but not constricting fit. The ABZORB midsole is designed for comfort, but individual foot anatomy may vary. Check if the provided insole meets your support needs.
Slight squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them for a few more sessions. If persistent, check for any trapped debris in the sole or try a small amount of talcum powder under the insole.
