FAQs

Are these suitable for athletic activities?

The New Balance RC56 are designed primarily for casual wear and everyday comfort. They are not specialized for high-impact sports or athletic performance.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is a comfortable fit with enough room in the toe box. The heel should not slip excessively. Refer to the sizing chart and try them on with the type of socks you typically wear.

How often should I clean the leather?

Regularly wipe them with a damp cloth after use. Deep cleaning or conditioning is recommended every few months, depending on wear frequency and environmental conditions.

Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, they are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the leather's condition. If they get wet, ensure they are dried properly.

What is the main difference between Low Shoes and Trainers in this series?

The RC56 series may have variations. 'Low Shoes' typically refers to a more casual, low-cut silhouette, while 'Trainers' can imply a design with features more suited for light athletic activity or a sportier aesthetic, though both are generally for casual use in this context.

Is the grey color consistent across all pairs?

Due to the natural variations in leather and the dyeing process, there might be slight tonal differences. However, New Balance aims for consistency in their colourways.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Wear with thin socks initially to allow the leather to stretch slightly. If persistent, consider using a shoe stretcher or seeking professional advice.

Leather shows scuff marks

For minor scuffs, try buffing gently with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, use a specialized leather cleaner or a color-matched polish.

Discoloration on grey leather

Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals or prolonged direct sunlight. Clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry. For significant discoloration, consult a shoe care professional.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These are ready-to-wear shoes. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for a comfortable fit.

Compatibility: The New Balance RC56 is designed as a casual footwear option. It is compatible with a wide range of casual attire, including jeans, chinos, shorts, and casual dresses.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and debris from the leather surface. For stubborn marks, a leather cleaner specifically designed for grey leather can be used sparingly.
  2. Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
  3. Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the leather.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or original box to protect from dust and moisture.
