Troubleshooting
Sizing feels off
Ensure you are trying them on with the type of socks you typically wear. If still uncomfortable, consider if a half-size up or down might be more appropriate based on New Balance's sizing guidelines.
Discomfort after prolonged wear
While designed for comfort, break-in periods may be necessary. Ensure the laces are tied correctly, not too tight or too loose. If discomfort persists, check for potential pressure points or consider if the shoe's support features are suitable for your foot type.
Material scuffing or discoloration
Avoid wearing in excessively dirty or wet conditions. Clean minor scuffs immediately with a damp cloth. For significant discoloration, consult specialized shoe care products designed for mesh and synthetic materials, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
