Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the forefoot strap for a more secure or relaxed fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size by referring to New Balance sizing charts.
Discomfort after prolonged wear
Allow for a break-in period, as the shoes adapt to your foot's shape. Ensure socks are worn if preferred for added comfort and to prevent friction.
Dirt or stains on the mesh upper
Use a soft brush or cloth with a small amount of mild soap and water to gently clean the affected area. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry.
