FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While the 1300 has roots in running shoe design and offers good cushioning, they are best suited for everyday wear and light activities rather than high-impact, performance running.

Use a suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner with a soft cloth and let them air dry. Avoid getting the suede excessively wet.
What does 'Made in USA' signify?

What is the ENCAP sole unit?
The ENCAP sole unit is a technology used by New Balance that combines a soft foam midsole with a durable polyurethane rim, providing cushioning and support.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally using shoe trees to maintain their shape and prevent creasing. Avoid direct sunlight.
What is the primary benefit of the mesh upper?
The mesh upper provides excellent breathability, helping to keep your feet cool and comfortable throughout the day.
Troubleshooting
