FAQs
Is the RC56 suitable for running?
While the design is inspired by archival racing shoes, the RC56 is intended primarily as a lifestyle sneaker for casual, all-day use rather than high-performance athletic training.
Does the sizing run true?
The New Balance RC56 typically fits true to size for standard adult feet, but it is recommended to reference your standard sneaker size for the best fit.
How should I clean the white leather?
Use a damp, soft cloth for daily cleaning. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner and a soft-bristle brush, following up with a leather conditioner.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the RC56 is designed as a unisex model, though specific regional sizing may vary slightly between gender categories.
Can I put these in the dryer?
No, never place your sneakers in a dryer. Excessive heat can warp the sole unit and ruin the adhesive bonds in the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Visible scuffs on the white leather surface
Use a specialized sneaker eraser or a soft cloth with a mild leather cleaning solution to gently buff out the marks.
Foam midsole losing its spring over time
Allow the sneakers to 'rest' for 24 hours between heavy use days to allow the foam to decompress fully.
Creasing in the toe box area
Use a cedar shoe tree when the shoes are not in use to help maintain their shape and minimize deep creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your RC56 sneakers remain in optimal condition, treat the leather with a protective water and stain repellent spray before the first use. For daily care, wipe the leather surfaces with a damp, soft cloth to remove surface dust. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the structural integrity of the leather and the foam midsole. For deep cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft-bristled brush. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the white leather from yellowing over time.
