FAQs

What does 'Made in UK' signify?

'Made in UK' signifies that the trainers have been manufactured in New Balance's factory in Flimby, Cumbria, UK, known for its high standards of craftsmanship and quality.

How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

Use a soft-bristled brush or a suede eraser to remove dry dirt and marks. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While the ABZORB midsole offers excellent cushioning, these trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. They are suitable for light jogging but not for high-impact or professional running.

What is the 'Vibrant Chroma' color inspiration?

The 'Vibrant Chroma' pack is inspired by the elemental contrast of fire and water, featuring a striking combination of red-tinged orange and pure orange hues.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart provided on the product page or in-store. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the UK sizing guide.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, construction, and cushioning of the trainers.

Do the reflective details actually work?

Yes, the reflective details are designed to catch and reflect light, increasing your visibility in low-light conditions when illuminated by a light source.

Troubleshooting

Slight color rub-off on socks

This can sometimes occur with new suede items. It is recommended to wear darker socks initially or to use a suede protector spray, which can help seal the color.

Discomfort after prolonged wear

Ensure you have the correct size and fit. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for shorter periods before longer outings. Check that laces are adjusted for optimal support without being too tight.

Scuffs or marks on suede

Use a suede eraser or a soft-bristled brush to gently remove superficial marks. For tougher stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner or use a dedicated suede cleaning kit.
