FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The 515 series is designed for lifestyle and casual use. While comfortable for walking, they do not feature the technical support required for long-distance running.
How should I clean the exterior?
Use a soft brush for dry dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for light stains. Do not submerge the shoes in water.
Are they true to size?
Yes, New Balance generally maintains consistent sizing, making the 515 a standard fit for most users.
Can I replace the insoles?
The internal liners can generally be removed if you require custom orthotics or specific arch support.
Is the black colourway prone to fading?
Like all footwear, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause some fading. Regular cleaning and indoor storage help maintain the original colour.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt accumulation on the exterior
Use a soft dry brush to gently remove loose dust and debris from the surface.
Slight discomfort after long periods
Ensure the laces are adjusted to provide a secure but not overly tight fit to accommodate natural foot swelling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 515 trainers last as long as possible, follow these basic care steps:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt using a soft-bristled brush after each wear to prevent buildup.
- Stain Removal: For tougher marks, use a damp cloth with mild detergent; avoid harsh chemical cleaners which may damage the fabric.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation or fading.
- Moisture Control: If the shoes become wet, air dry them naturally at room temperature. Avoid using direct heat sources like radiators, as this can cause the materials to warp or stiffen.
