Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

What is the primary material used in these shoes?
The primary material used for the upper of the New Balance RC56 is leather.
How often should I clean my leather shoes?
It is recommended to wipe down leather shoes after each wear to remove dust and dirt. A more thorough cleaning with a leather conditioner should be performed periodically, depending on the frequency of use and exposure to the elements.
Is the sizing unisex?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear them around the house for short periods to allow the leather to mold to your feet. If they remain uncomfortable, consider using thicker socks or exploring professional stretching services.
Leather scuffs or scratches appear
For minor scuffs, try buffing gently with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, use a leather repair product or polish that matches the shoe's color.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the sole treads are clean. If the issue persists, consider applying a sole grip enhancer or consulting a cobbler.
