Product Information
Full details
The New Balance RC56 is designed for adults seeking a blend of early-2000s archival style and modern comfort. Its primary benefit is the integration of FuelCell technology, which provides responsive cushioning suitable for all-day wear, though its low-profile silhouette may offer less ankle support than high-top alternatives.

FAQs
Are the New Balance RC56 shoes true to size?
Yes, the RC56 series generally aligns with standard UK sizing conventions for adult footwear.
Can I use these for long-distance running?
While they feature FuelCell cushioning, they are styled as lifestyle trainers inspired by archival racing shoes and are best suited for daily wear rather than competitive running.
How do I clean the white leather?
Use a damp cloth with mild soap and avoid submerging the shoes in water.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the leather upper is not waterproof. It is recommended to use a protective spray to guard against light moisture.

Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
This is a natural occurrence with leather footwear; use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.
Difficulty keeping the white exterior clean
Use a specialized leather sneaker cleaner and avoid machine washing, which can damage the glue bonds.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Versatile, timeless design that pairs well with casual outfits
- High-quality leather construction for long-term wear
- Lightweight feel despite the structured retro aesthetic
Cons
- Low-profile cut lacks additional ankle support

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are low-profile trainers, they are best paired with no-show or low-cut socks for an optimal aesthetic. To maintain the leather upper:
- Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt or debris.
- Apply a damp cloth with mild soap for localized stains on the white leather.
- Air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking.
- Treat with a leather protectant spray if you plan to wear them in varying weather conditions.
