FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Garoé V2 is designed for breathability. While the materials are durable, they are not waterproof.
Can I use these for marathon running?
While they are capable trainers, they are designed as a general-purpose athletic shoe; dedicated long-distance runners may prefer specialized performance models.
How should I store them when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the colors and degrade the rubber compounds.
Does the size UK 11.5 fit true to size?
New Balance typically aligns with standard athletic sizing, but it is recommended to ensure you have a thumb's width of space at the front of the toe.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed using polyester components for a blend of strength, flexibility, and weight reduction.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels slightly cramped or tight
Loosen the laces starting from the eyelet closest to the toe box and re-adjust the tension upwards to distribute pressure more evenly.
Visible dirt or debris in the mesh
Use a dry, soft brush to flick away dirt after every use; avoid using water until the dirt is thoroughly brushed off to prevent grinding debris into the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Garoé V2 trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: Use a dedicated Brannock device or the official New Balance size chart to confirm your UK 11.5 fit, as technical trainers often feature a more precise, snug fit than casual shoes.
- Breaking In: Wear the shoes for short, 30-minute intervals during the first week to allow the foam to adapt to your foot strike.
- Cleaning: Do not machine wash. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud and dirt. For deeper cleaning, spot clean with a mixture of mild soap and lukewarm water.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the shoe’s technical adhesives.
