FAQs

What is the primary intended use for the New Balance MT10?

The New Balance MT10 is designed for versatile use, balancing everyday style with functional training. It's ideal for daily wear, casual outings, and light to moderate functional training activities where a natural foot feel and ground feedback are beneficial.

How do I properly clean the suede material?

To clean suede, first use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following its instructions, applying with a clean cloth and dabbing rather than rubbing. Always allow the shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat.

Is this shoe suitable for running or intense sports?

While it's a functional training shoe, its minimalist design makes it better suited for light training, bodyweight exercises, short walks, and casual wear, rather than high-impact, long-distance running or intense athletic sports requiring maximum cushioning and support.

What are the benefits of the Vibram sole?

The Vibram rubber sole is renowned for its exceptional durability, multi-directional traction, and reliable grip across various surfaces. It provides confidence and stability whether you're on urban streets or light natural trails.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

Suede is generally not recommended for wet conditions as it can be easily damaged and stained by water. While the Vibram sole offers good grip, it's best to avoid heavy rain or puddles. Applying a suede protector spray can offer some minor water resistance.

What does 'low-profile silhouette' mean for my feet?

A 'low-profile silhouette' means the shoe has a thinner sole and often a lower heel-to-toe drop, bringing your foot closer to the ground. This design promotes a more natural foot strike and increased sensory feedback from the ground, which can enhance stability and natural movement.

How does the 'Shipyard' outfit affect the shoe?

The 'Shipyard' outfit refers to the specific combination of materials and colorway, in this case, the full luxurious hairy suede in a beige color with woven textile accents. This outfit enhances the aesthetic appeal and contributes to the shoe's premium look and feel.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or has visible dirt/scuffs.

Gently brush the entire suede surface with a dry suede brush in one direction to lift the nap and remove loose dirt. For deeper scuffs or stubborn spots, use a specialized suede eraser or a suede cleaner with a soft cloth, following the product's instructions. Allow to air dry completely.

Shoes feel less cushioned than expected.

The New Balance MT10 features a minimalist, low-profile design intended to provide more natural ground feedback rather than extensive cushioning. This is a design characteristic. If you require slightly more comfort, you may consider a very thin, minimalist insole, but avoid bulky ones that could compromise the shoe's intended fit and feel.

Soles seem to have reduced grip on certain surfaces.

Check the Vibram sole for any accumulated dirt, mud, or small debris lodged in the treads. Clean the sole thoroughly with a damp cloth or soft brush. Ensure the sole is dry before use, as moisture or debris can temporarily reduce traction on smooth or wet surfaces.

Shoes have an odor after extended use.

Allow your shoes to air out completely after each wear. Remove insoles if possible and let them dry separately. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out in the morning.

Initial Fit: When first trying on your New Balance MT10, ensure a comfortable yet snug fit. The minimalist design is intended to feel closer to your natural foot shape. Lacing should be secure without creating pressure points. Allow for a brief break-in period to adapt to the low-profile feel.

Styling Compatibility: The Beige Suede MT10's 'Shipyard' aesthetic makes it highly versatile. It pairs well with casual denim, chinos, shorts, and athleisure wear. Its clean lines and neutral color allow it to complement various outfits, making it a staple for a relaxed yet put-together look.

Suede Care & Maintenance:

  1. Protection: Before your first wear, consider applying a high-quality suede protector spray to help repel water and stains. Always follow the product manufacturer's instructions.
  2. Regular Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dry dirt, dust, and scuffs. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
  3. Spot Treatment: For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner. Apply a small amount to a clean cloth and dab the stain, rather than rubbing. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
  4. Avoid Moisture: Suede is highly susceptible to water damage. Try to avoid wearing your MT10s in heavy rain, snow, or muddy conditions. If they do get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape, then allow them to air dry completely.
  5. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent fading and material degradation.

Sole Care: Regularly inspect the Vibram sole for any embedded debris (small stones, mud) that could affect traction. Use a damp cloth to wipe the sole clean. Ensure the sole is dry before wearing to maintain optimal grip.
