FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The New Balance Fresh Foam X Garoé V2 are designed with water-resistance in mind due to their textile upper, but they are not fully waterproof. They can handle light moisture and splashes but are not suitable for submersion or very wet conditions.

What is the best way to break in these hiking shoes?

Wear them around the house for a few hours each day. Gradually increase the duration and try short walks outdoors. Pay attention to any pressure points and adjust lacing as needed.

Can I wear these shoes for running?

While they offer good cushioning, these shoes are designed primarily for hiking and walking. They lack the specific features and support for intense running activities.

What surfaces is the AT Tread outsole effective on?

The AT Tread outsole is designed for versatility, providing good grip on a wide range of surfaces including dry trails, wet trails, gravel, dirt, and moderate urban terrain.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the chart. Trying them on, if possible, is the most reliable method to ensure a good fit.

What is the warranty period for these shoes?

Please refer to the retailer or New Balance's official website for specific warranty information, as it can vary by region and purchase conditions.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort during initial wear

The shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase duration. Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly for your foot.

Traction seems reduced on certain surfaces

Check the outsole for embedded debris like mud or small stones, and clean them. Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn; consider replacement if tread is significantly diminished.

Material appears dirty or stained

Follow the care instructions: use a soft brush for dry dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for stains. Allow to air dry completely.
