FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance RC56 trainers are designed for casual wear and comfort during everyday activities. They are not recommended for intense athletic activities like running, which typically require specialized shoes with more advanced cushioning and support.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a comfortable fit around the widest part of your foot. You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Try them on with the type of socks you would typically wear.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, these trainers should not be machine washed. Machine washing can damage the leather material, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe.
How often should I condition the leather?
It's generally recommended to condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more often if the shoes are frequently exposed to harsh weather conditions or dry environments.
What does 'low-profile' mean in the context of these trainers?
A low-profile design refers to a shoe with a sleek, streamlined shape that sits closer to the ground, offering a minimalist and less bulky appearance compared to high-top shoes.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
This specific product guide is for the Grey/White RC56 trainers. Other color variations may be available from New Balance.
What is the warranty period for these trainers?
Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer at the time of purchase. Please check your receipt or the retailer's website for details on the warranty for New Balance products.
Troubleshooting
Stiff leather upon arrival
Leather may feel stiff initially. Wear the shoes for short periods to break them in. Applying a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.
Discoloration or scuff marks
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a damp cloth with mild soap for scuffs. For persistent marks, consult a professional shoe repair service.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the sole is clean and free of debris. If slippage persists, consider having a cobbler add a slip-resistant sole protector.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt and dust. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
