FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The New Balance Garoé V2 uses breathable polyester materials and is not marketed as waterproof.
Can I use these for marathon running?
While they are comfortable, they are designed as versatile trainers rather than specialized high-performance long-distance racing shoes.
How should I clean the polyester upper?
Spot clean with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Do not soak the shoes or put them in the dryer.
Do these fit true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing; however, it is recommended to check your UK size against your previous New Balance purchases.
Are these suitable for gym use?
Yes, their stable base makes them suitable for general gym workouts, weight training, and treadmill use.
Do they provide arch support?
The design includes standard supportive cushioning suitable for neutral foot strikes.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure or discomfort during long runs
Re-lace the shoes using a 'runner's loop' or heel-lock technique to secure the ankle and reduce internal foot movement.
Accumulation of dirt in the tread
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dried mud or debris from the outsole lugs after each outdoor session.
Material appears dull after heavy use
Ensure the shoes are completely dry, then use a soft cloth to remove surface dust. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your Garoé V2 trainers, ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Before first use, adjust the lacing system to accommodate your specific foot volume to prevent mid-foot slippage. For care, avoid machine washing, which can compromise the structural integrity of the upper material. Instead, wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a cool, ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the cushioning components.
