FAQs

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is constructed from hairy 'Star Burst' suede.

What is special about the outsole?

The outsole features sharp-toothed lugs designed for enhanced grip, inspired by athletic turf performance.

Are these suitable for running?

While inspired by athletic performance, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers for casual wear and offer enhanced grip for everyday use, not intense athletic training.

How do I clean the hairy suede?

Use a specialized suede brush for dust and light dirt. For stains, a suede cleaner is recommended. Avoid water contact.

What is the significance of the 'N' insignia?

The tonal sidewall 'N' insignias are a heritage design element, representing the New Balance brand.

Can I wear these in wet conditions?

The unique lugged outsole provides good grip, which can be beneficial in wet conditions. However, the suede material is not waterproof and should be protected from excessive moisture.

Do these trainers come in other colors?

The Gator Run series is available in various colorways. Please check product listings for available options.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained

Gently brush with a suede brush. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner following product instructions. Avoid soaking the suede.

Laces are discolored

Remove laces and hand wash with mild soap and water. Allow to air dry completely before re-inserting.

Reduced grip on the outsole

Clean the outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any embedded dirt or debris from the lug pattern.

Color transfer from suede to socks

This can occur with new suede items. Ensure the shoes are dry and consider using a suede protector spray. Initial wears may see minor transfer.

Care Instructions:

  1. Suede Care: Use a suede brush to remove surface dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner may be required. Avoid using water directly on suede.
