FAQs
What material are these trainers made from?
These trainers are made from a combination of mesh and suede, with a rubber sole.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While comfortable for walking and daily activities, these trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and may not offer the specific support and cushioning required for dedicated running.
How do I determine the correct size?
It is recommended to consult the official New Balance size guide. Measure your foot length and compare it with the UK sizing provided for the most accurate fit.
Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?
The suede material can be affected by moisture. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to use a water-repellent spray specifically for suede if planning to wear them in potentially damp conditions.
What is the warranty period for these trainers?
Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer at the point of sale. Please check your purchase receipt or contact the retailer for details on the warranty policy.
How often should I clean my trainers?
Clean your trainers as needed, especially after visible soiling. Regular light brushing of the suede and wiping of the sole will help maintain their appearance.
Troubleshooting
Fit feels too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system. If the issue persists, consider if this is the correct size or width for your foot; consult a size guide or try a different size/width if available.
Suede material looks dull or stained
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before wearing.
Traction seems reduced
Clean the rubber sole to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might be affecting grip. Check for excessive wear on the sole pattern.
