FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for beginners?
Yes, the supportive design and durable construction make them a good choice for beginners as well as experienced skaters.
How do I clean the green accents on the shoes?
The green accents are likely part of the upper material. Treat them with the same care as the suede, using a damp cloth for light cleaning if necessary, and test any cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
What is the difference between cupsole and vulcanized soles?
Cupsole construction is typically thicker and stitched to the upper, offering more cushioning and durability. Vulcanized soles are generally thinner, providing better board feel but less impact protection.
Can I wear these shoes for running?
While they offer comfort, these trainers are specifically designed for skateboarding. For running, it is recommended to use footwear engineered for that activity.
How often should I re-apply water repellent spray?
The frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions. Typically, reapplying every few months or after significant exposure to moisture is recommended.
What is the warranty period for these trainers?
Please refer to the official New Balance warranty information for specific details regarding the warranty period and coverage for footwear.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks matted or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, consult a suede cleaning guide or product.
Shoes feel too stiff initially
Wear the shoes for short periods to allow them to break in. Gentle flexing of the shoe can also help.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with durable, skate-specific laces. Keep spare laces on hand.
Sole is separating slightly
For minor separation, a strong adhesive designed for footwear can be used. If significant, contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct UK size for a comfortable fit.
Compatibility: Designed for skateboarding and general athletic use. Compatible with most skateboarding terrains and activities.
Care:
- Cleaning Suede: Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and debris. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by brushing to restore the nap. Avoid washing the shoes in a machine.
- Water Protection: Suede can be treated with a water-repellent spray specifically designed for footwear. Apply as directed by the product's instructions, typically before wear and periodically thereafter.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as these can damage the suede and adhesives.
- General Maintenance: Rotate shoes to allow them to air out and recover their shape. Inspect regularly for any signs of wear and tear that may require attention.
