FAQs

Are the New Balance 530 suitable for running?

The New Balance 530 features ABZORB technology for shock absorption, making them comfortable for walking and daily wear. However, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers and may not offer the specialized support and cushioning required for serious or long-distance running.

How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the nap. For stains, use a suede cleaner. It's best to avoid getting suede excessively wet and always air dry them away from heat.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is constructed with a combination of breathable mesh and durable leather/synthetic overlays.

What is ABZORB technology?

ABZORB is a New Balance technology that provides a blend of cushioning and compression resistance, enhancing shock absorption to help reduce impact.

Are these trainers available in other colors?

Yes, the New Balance 530 series comes in various colorways, including different shades of grey, white, and green, often with silver accents.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

Refer to the New Balance size chart for accurate measurements. The model reviewed here is a UK 5.5, and other sizes are available. Consider trying them on if possible, as fit can vary.

Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash trainers, especially those with suede components, as it can damage the materials and affect the shoe's structure and appearance.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from shoes

This can sometimes happen with new shoes. Try wearing them for a few more days. If it persists, check if the insole is loose and try inserting a thin piece of paper or powder under the insole.

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace with standard shoe laces of a similar length. Ensure laces are tied comfortably but not overly tight to prevent undue stress.

Discomfort after extended wear

Ensure you have the correct size and fit. Consider using additional insoles or supportive socks for extra cushioning or arch support if needed.

Suede material looking worn

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For deeper stains or matting, consult a professional suede cleaner.
