Troubleshooting
Sizing feels slightly off
Refer to the New Balance size chart for precise measurements and compare with your foot length. Consider trying on in-store if possible, or consult customer reviews for fit feedback.
Materials seem stiff initially
New leather and synthetic materials can take a short period to break in. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to mold to your feet.
Difficulty cleaning stubborn marks
For persistent stains on leather or synthetic parts, use a specialized leather cleaner. For mesh areas, a soft-bristled brush with a mild detergent solution can be effective. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
