Troubleshooting
Sizing feels off
Ensure you have measured your foot correctly according to New Balance sizing guides. Consider trying on a pair in-store if possible, or consult reviews for fit feedback.
Leather shows scuffs or marks
Use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft cloth to gently remove marks. For minor scuffs, a leather conditioner may help restore the finish.
