FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the New Balance 2010 generally fits true to standard UK sizing for adults.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as the heat and agitation can damage the structural integrity and reflective materials.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is primarily made of breathable mesh with nubuck and synthetic overlays for added structure and style.
Are these suitable for running?
While they feature comfortable cushioning, the 2010 series is designed primarily for lifestyle and casual use rather than long-distance athletic running.
How do I keep the grey colour looking clean?
Use a protective water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for nubuck and mesh after your first wear to create a barrier against everyday dirt.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt or light stains on nubuck/mesh
Use a soft-bristled brush or a dedicated suede/nubuck eraser for dry cleaning; for stubborn spots, use a tiny amount of mild soapy water on a cloth, but avoid over-wetting the material.
Sensation of the fit feeling too loose
Try re-lacing the trainers using the top eyelet (the 'runner's loop') to secure the heel more effectively and prevent slippage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are ready-to-wear trainers, there is no setup required beyond adjusting the laces for a secure fit. To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 2010 shoes, avoid submerging them in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as this can degrade the synthetic and nubuck components. For regular maintenance, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the mesh and nubuck sections. If the trainers get wet, let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the materials.
