FAQs

How do I measure my foot for the correct size?

Place your foot on a piece of paper, ensuring your heel is against a wall. Mark the tip of your longest toe. Measure the distance in centimeters from the edge of the paper (where the heel was) to the mark. Use this measurement against the provided EU size chart.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The XC-72 trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle. While they offer good traction and comfort for everyday activities, they may not provide the specialized support and cushioning required for intense running.

What does 'Navy Gum' refer to?

'Navy' refers to the primary dark blue color of the shoe's upper, while 'Gum' refers to the color of the rubber outsole, which is typically a light brown or tan color.

Can these trainers be worn by both men and women?

Yes, the New Balance XC-72 series is generally considered unisex, suitable for adults of any gender. The sizing is based on standard foot measurements.

How often should I clean my XC-72 trainers?

Clean your trainers as needed, especially after exposure to dirt or spills. For regular maintenance, a light brushing after each wear can help keep them looking fresh. Deep cleaning should be done when visibly dirty.

What is the main inspiration behind the XC-72 design?

The design of the XC-72 is inspired by the experimental and futuristic spirit of 1970s concept car design, particularly their aerodynamic shapes and bold lines.

Is the 'Brown' color mentioned in the title part of the shoe?

Yes, the 'Brown' likely refers to the 'Gum' color of the outsole, which is a common descriptor for that specific rubber color.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty selecting the correct size

Refer to the detailed sizing guide provided. Measure your foot length from heel to toe in centimeters and compare it with the EU size chart. If your measurement falls between two sizes, it is recommended to choose the larger size.

Uneven wear on the outsole

Ensure you are using the trainers for their intended purpose (casual wear, light activity). Check for any foreign objects lodged in the treads that might cause uneven pressure. Proper rotation with other footwear can also extend outsole life.

Leather appears dry or stiff

Apply a quality leather conditioner according to product instructions. This will help restore moisture and flexibility to the leather.

Discoloration from cleaning

Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first. Use mild soap and water for cleaning and ensure thorough rinsing if using any cleaning agents. Allow to air dry away from direct heat.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Leather Care: Condition the leather periodically with a leather conditioner to maintain its suppleness and prevent drying or cracking.
  • Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and direct sunlight.
