FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While inspired by running shoe designs and featuring ABZORB cushioning, these trainers are best suited for casual wear and light activities. For serious or high-intensity running, specialized running shoes are recommended.
How do I clean the silver metallic finish?
Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Gently wipe away dirt and allow to air dry. Do not machine wash.
What is ABZORB technology?
ABZORB is New Balance's proprietary cushioning technology designed to provide shock absorption and a responsive feel, helping to reduce impact on the feet.
Do the reflective details actually work?
Yes, the reflective details are designed to catch light in low-light conditions, increasing your visibility to others, such as car headlights.
Can I wear these with orthotics?
The trainers have a removable insole, which generally allows for the insertion of custom orthotics or other specialized insoles. Ensure your orthotics fit comfortably within the shoe.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is primarily constructed from breathable mesh with synthetic overlays for added structure and durability.
How does the sizing run for these trainers?
New Balance trainers generally run true to size. However, it's always recommended to consult the brand's size chart and consider trying them on if possible, as fit can vary based on foot shape.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
Adjust the lacing pattern to customize the fit. If the size is fundamentally incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size.
Slight squeaking sound during walking.
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Ensure the insoles are properly seated. If persistent, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.
Silver metallic finish appears dull.
Gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For a slight shine, a specialized shoe cleaner for metallic finishes can be used sparingly, followed by buffing with a soft cloth.
Mesh upper feels less supportive than expected.
Ensure laces are tied snugly. For added support, consider using aftermarket insoles designed for enhanced arch support or stability.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the mesh and synthetic overlays, use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cool water to gently clean away dirt and stains. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe down the ABZORB midsole and rubber outsole with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt on the outsole, a slightly stiffer brush can be used.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Laces: Remove laces before cleaning and wash them separately. Ensure they are fully dry before re-lacing.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or box, to protect them from dust and damage.
