Troubleshooting
Shoe appears too tight or loose.
Ensure the correct size is being used. Refer to the New Balance size chart for accurate measurements. Adjust laces or Velcro straps for a secure but comfortable fit. If still uncomfortable, consider trying a different size or model.
Traction seems reduced on certain surfaces.
Clean the outsole by removing any embedded debris or dirt with a brush. Ensure the soles are dry, as moisture can affect grip. If the wear pattern on the sole is significantly uneven, it may be time to consider replacement.
Materials show scuff marks or light stains.
Use a damp cloth and mild soap solution with a soft brush or cloth to gently clean the affected areas. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous spot first. Allow to air dry.
