FAQs

What is the primary benefit of Fresh Foam X cushioning?

Fresh Foam X cushioning provides a superior, soft, and responsive feel, maximizing comfort and minimizing impact during physical activity and extended wear.

Are these shoes suitable for hiking?

Yes, the Fresh Foam X Garoé V2 trainers are designed with technical traction suitable for various outdoor terrains, including hiking trails.

What is the main difference between this and other New Balance trainers?

The Fresh Foam X Garoé V2 specifically balances trail-ready traction with Fresh Foam X cushioning for versatile performance, distinguishing it from models focused solely on road running or lifestyle wear.

What does the UK 12.5 size refer to?

UK 12.5 refers to the specific men's foot size in the UK sizing system for this particular shoe variant.

Can I wear these in wet conditions?

While the materials offer some protection, these are not fully waterproof. They are designed to handle varied conditions, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain may result in wetness.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct size (UK 12.5 in this instance). Try wearing them with appropriate athletic socks and walk around the house to allow them to break in. Lacing adjustments can also help improve fit.

Traction feels slippery on smooth surfaces

This is expected due to the aggressive tread pattern designed for outdoor grip. For indoor use on polished or very smooth floors, exercise caution. The tread will wear slightly with indoor use, potentially improving grip over time.

Materials appear worn or damaged after minimal use

Inspect for any manufacturing defects. If damage is due to normal wear and tear on rough terrain, this may be expected. Clean the shoes as per care instructions to maintain their appearance.

Care: To maintain the condition of your New Balance Fresh Foam X Garoé V2 trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Spot clean with a mild soap and water solution using a soft brush or cloth. Avoid machine washing as it can damage the materials and structure.

  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
