FAQs
Are the New Balance RC56 shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing; however, since they use leather, they may feel snug at first before conforming to your foot.
Can I use these for long-distance running?
While they feature performance-oriented FuelCell technology, they are primarily designed as retro-inspired lifestyle trainers rather than professional racing shoes.
How do I clean the white leather parts?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap to spot clean, then allow them to air dry naturally.
Is the RC56 a unisex model?
The series is available in various sizes that cater to both men and women, though individual fit should be verified via size charts.
Does the shoe provide good arch support?
Yes, the PU foam footbed combined with the FuelCell midsole provides balanced support suitable for daily activities.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight during first wear
The leather upper needs a break-in period; wear them for shorter durations indoors until the material adapts to your foot shape.
Surface scuffs on leather
Gently buff the scuffed area with a clean, soft cloth or use a specialized leather cleaner appropriate for white surfaces.
Sole feels dirty or discolored
Wipe the rubber edges with a damp cloth and mild dish soap solution, then dry immediately with a clean towel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your RC56 trainers maintain their crisp white look and structural integrity, proper maintenance is essential. As these trainers feature leather components, avoid machine washing, which can damage the finish and shape. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush or a slightly damp cloth with mild soap to spot-clean any surface dirt. To maintain the leather's longevity, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from cracking.
