New Balance 1000 Sneakers - Black - Leather - Size 5 UK

While the premium leather offers some natural resistance to light moisture, these trainers are not fully waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain and puddles to protect the leather.

No, machine washing is not recommended for leather trainers as it can damage the material and construction. Please refer to the 'Care' section for proper cleaning instructions.

These trainers are listed in UK adult sizes. We recommend selecting your usual UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up for comfort.

The New Balance 1000 trainers are designed for casual wear and daily comfort, not for high-performance running or sports activities. Their construction prioritizes style and durability for everyday use.

For regular wear, conditioning the leather every 1-2 months is generally sufficient to keep it supple and prevent drying or cracking. Adjust frequency based on use and environmental exposure.

You can gently clean the mesh accents with a soft brush or a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing.

Clean the leather with a damp cloth, then apply a suitable leather conditioner to restore its luster and suppleness.

Leather footwear often requires a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot shape.

Ensure trainers are fully air-dried after each wear. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside and let it sit overnight to absorb odors.

This can sometimes be caused by friction between parts of the shoe or the insole. Try removing and reinserting the insole, or sprinkle a small amount of baby powder under the insole.
