FAQs
What does 'Made in UK' signify?
'Made in UK' signifies that these trainers are manufactured in New Balance's factory in the United Kingdom, reflecting a commitment to traditional craftsmanship and premium quality.
How do I best clean the leather and suede parts?
Use a soft brush for dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap, and for suede, a specialized suede eraser or cleaner. Always test cleaning products on a small, hidden area first.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer excellent cushioning, they are not specialized running shoes and may lack the specific support and features required for high-impact running.
What is the ABZORB midsole technology?
ABZORB is a New Balance proprietary technology that provides excellent shock absorption, helping to dissipate impact forces and offering a comfortable, cushioned feel underfoot.
How does the sizing typically run for these trainers?
New Balance trainers generally run true to size. However, due to the premium materials and construction, it is always recommended to check the size guide and consider trying them on if possible, especially since they are UK-made.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the materials offer some protection, they are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. Using a water-repellent spray can provide an additional layer of protection against light moisture.
What is the inspiration behind the design?
The design draws inspiration from seasonal color palettes and classic motorsports, evident in the rich brown tones, premium nubuck texture, and perforated leather details reminiscent of high-performance car interiors.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently.
Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot. Consider replacing the laces if they are old or slippery.
Discomfort after wearing for a short period.
Verify the sizing is correct. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for shorter durations initially. Ensure socks are appropriate for the footwear.
Suede or nubuck material looks worn or stained.
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, consult a professional leather cleaner or use a specific suede/nubuck cleaning product, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Slight squeaking sound during walking.
This can sometimes occur due to friction between internal components. Try inserting a talcum powder or cornstarch lightly under the insole. If persistent, it may indicate a manufacturing anomaly.
