FAQs

Are the New Balance RC56 suitable for running?

While inspired by running heritage, the RC56 is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for intense athletic performance.

How do I clean the suede accents?

Use a soft suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.

What does 'N-lock lacing system' mean?

The N-lock system is an integrated lacing mechanism designed to provide a secure and supportive fit around the midfoot, enhancing stability.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

The leather upper offers some protection, but the suede overlays are not waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture. It is recommended to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.

What is the main benefit of the FuelCell midsole?

The FuelCell midsole provides responsive cushioning, offering a lightweight and energetic feel that helps reduce fatigue during all-day wear.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart available on their official website for accurate foot measurement and conversion to UK sizes. Ensure you measure both length and width for the best fit.

Is this shoe available in other colors?

Yes, the RC56 model is available in various colorways and material combinations. Please check the product listings for current availability.

Troubleshooting

Laces feel insecure

Ensure the N-lock system is properly engaged and the laces are pulled taut. Re-tie if necessary.

Discomfort after extended wear

Verify you have the correct size and that the laces are not tied too tightly, constricting circulation. Break-in period may be required for new shoes.

Suede material looks matted or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap of the material. For tougher stains, consult specialized suede cleaning products.

Leather shows scuffs or marks

Gently wipe the affected area with a slightly damp cloth. For persistent marks, a leather conditioner appropriate for the 'Sea Salt' finish might be considered.
