FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The New Balance RC56 is primarily designed for casual wear and all-day comfort. While they can handle light activity, they are not engineered with the specialized support and cushioning required for serious running or athletic training.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Gently wipe the leather with a damp cloth and use a soft brush for dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a leather-specific cleaner and follow with a conditioner. Avoid excessive water and harsh chemicals.
What is the best way to care for the leather material?
Regularly clean the shoes and apply a quality leather conditioner to maintain the material's suppleness and prevent drying or cracking. Store them in a dry place away from direct heat.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, these shoes are not waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the material and ensure comfort.
What does 'low-profile' mean in the context of these shoes?
A low-profile shoe has a design that sits close to the ground, typically featuring a thinner sole and a sleek, non-bulky upper. This contributes to a lighter feel and a more streamlined appearance.
Are there other color options available for the RC56 model?
This specific guide focuses on the Grey/White colorway. Other color options may be available for the New Balance RC56 series, depending on the retailer and current stock.
What is the intended use for these shoes?
These shoes are intended for everyday casual wear, providing comfort and style for activities such as walking, commuting, and social gatherings.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear them with thin socks initially and allow the leather to naturally mold to your feet over time. If still uncomfortable, consider a half-size larger if available.
Leather shows scuffs or marks
Use a dedicated leather cleaner or a small amount of mild soap on a damp cloth to gently clean the affected area. Follow up with a leather conditioner.
Sole feels stiff
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to break them in. The sole will become more flexible with regular use.

Care:
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. Wipe the leather with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the leather.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Follow the product instructions for the conditioner.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can cause the leather to shrink or crack.
