FAQs

Are these sneakers true to size?

Yes, the New Balance Gator Run fits standard adult sizing, though it is recommended to reference our sizing chart for a precise UK fit.

Can I run in these shoes?

While inspired by performance models, these are classified as lifestyle trainers. They are not recommended for long-distance running or high-impact training.

What is the primary material used?

The upper is constructed from premium leather, providing a durable and polished finish.

How do I maintain the vibrant red color?

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and use a leather conditioner specifically formulated for red pigmented leather to keep the color deep.

Are these waterproof?

The trainers are not waterproof. We suggest using a protective leather spray treatment if you plan to wear them in damp conditions.

Do these shoes come with removable insoles?

Yes, they feature standard removable insoles, allowing for custom orthotic inserts if required.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on leather upper

Gently wipe the area with a slightly damp microfiber cloth and allow to air dry away from direct heat.

Squeaking sound while walking

Ensure the insoles are properly seated and dry; moisture inside the shoe can sometimes cause friction sounds.

Laces becoming untied frequently

Replace standard laces with textured athletic laces if the factory laces do not hold a double knot securely.

  • Authentic 1980s retro athletic aesthetic
  • Reliable traction provided by the nubbed rubber sole

  • Not intended for high-intensity athletic performance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your New Balance Gator Run trainers stay in top condition, proper care is essential. Since the upper is constructed from premium leather, avoid wearing them in heavy rain or deep mud to prevent water stains and premature material degradation.

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt from the surface and outsole.
  2. Stain Removal: For leather parts, use a damp cloth with mild leather cleaner; avoid harsh chemical detergents.
  3. Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the red colour to fade over time.
  4. Compatibility: These trainers feature a classic, gender-neutral aesthetic that pairs well with slim-cut chinos, relaxed jeans, or athletic joggers.
