New Balance 860v2 - Grey - Leather - ML860PP2 - UK 10

While the 860 series has a running heritage, the 860v2 is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear in its current iteration. Its comfort technologies make it great for daily walking, but it's not optimized for serious or high-performance running compared to modern, specialized running shoes.

For the leather overlays, use a soft cloth and a dedicated leather cleaner designed for shoes. Apply the cleaner sparingly, wipe gently, and then follow up with a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent drying or cracking. Always air dry.

`ABZORB®` is a superior blend of foam cushioning and compression set, designed to absorb impact. `N-ERGY®` is a highly responsive cushioning material that provides advanced shock absorption and energy return, contributing to the shoe's all-day comfort.

New Balance shoes generally run true to size. However, fit can vary slightly based on individual foot shape. It's recommended to refer to a New Balance size chart or try them on to ensure the best fit.

The New Balance 860v2 features a textile and leather upper. While durable, it is not explicitly designed to be waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions may cause water to penetrate, especially through the mesh areas. Protect the leather elements with a water-repellent spray for better resistance in light moisture.

The 860v2's classic silhouette and elegant grey and purple tones make them highly versatile. They complement casual outfits like jeans and chinos, athleisure wear such as joggers, and can even add a stylish, comfortable touch to smart-casual ensembles.

Check if the insole is properly seated. If the squeak persists, try applying a small amount of baby powder under the insole. Ensure the outsole is clean and free of trapped debris.

Clean the leather with a specialized leather cleaner, then apply a high-quality leather conditioner. Buff gently with a soft cloth to restore shine and suppleness.

Re-lace your shoes, ensuring even tension across the foot. Experiment with different lacing patterns if necessary. Consider trying different socks or custom insoles if discomfort continues.

Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap (e.g., dish soap) to gently scrub affected textile areas. Rinse the cloth and wipe away soap residue. Air dry completely.

Ensure you are wearing the correct size sock. For minor adjustments, try different lacing techniques. If the fit is significantly off, consult a size guide or consider professional fitting advice.
