FAQs
Is the New Balance RC56 good for running?
While inspired by racing shoes, it is optimized for lifestyle use and daily comfort rather than professional long-distance running.
How should I clean the white leather?
Use a soft cloth with mild soap or a dedicated leather cleaner, and avoid submerging the shoes in water.
Do these trainers fit true to size?
The RC56 typically fits true to standard New Balance sizing, but consider your preferred roominess for casual wear.
What is FuelCell technology?
FuelCell is a high-rebound foam compound that provides an energetic and propulsive feel with every step.
Can the insoles be replaced?
Yes, the internal PU foam footbed can be removed if you wish to use custom orthotic inserts.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the RC56 series is designed for a unisex fit, making it versatile across different foot shapes.
Troubleshooting
Visible surface scuffs on white leather
Use a specialized sneaker eraser or a small amount of mild leather cleaner on a microfiber cloth to gently buff the area.
Laces becoming untied frequently
Ensure the laces are threaded properly through the eyelets and consider using a double knot if the round laces feel slippery.
Footbed feels less responsive over time
Remove the inner footbed, let it air dry completely outside of the shoe, and ensure the interior of the shoe is clean of debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you are wearing the appropriate socks for your activity level, as the minimalist structure offers a more precise fit than standard bulky trainers. Since the primary color is white, keep a specialized leather cleaner and a soft-bristled brush on hand to remove surface dirt immediately after use. Avoid machine washing, as it can compromise the structural integrity of the leather and the foam bond. For deeper protection, apply a water-repellent spray designed for leather footwear to shield the material from stains and light rain.
