Full details

Its key benefit is the combination of soft Fresh Foam cushioning for comfort and a breathable mesh upper for performance.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?

The Fresh Foam Arishi v4 is designed for versatile wear and light running. For marathon distances, you may require a shoe with more specialized cushioning and support tailored for long-distance performance.

How do I determine the correct UK size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart available on their official website or consult the retailer's size guide. Generally, UK sizing is indicated directly on the product. The listed size UK 8 corresponds to a specific foot measurement.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning system. Hand wash with a damp cloth and mild soap for best results.

What is the main difference between Arishi v4 and other New Balance running shoes?

The Arishi v4 prioritizes versatility, comfort, and a lightweight feel for everyday use and lighter runs. More advanced models often feature enhanced stability, specific cushioning technologies for different running styles (e.g., speed, endurance), and more robust support systems.

How durable is the rubber outsole?

The rubber outsole is designed for durability for everyday wear and light running activities. Its longevity will depend on the frequency of use, intensity of activities, and the surfaces on which the shoes are worn.

Is the mesh upper waterproof?

No, the mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. It allows air to circulate but will allow water to penetrate.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring a comfortable pressure distribution across the foot. If tightness persists, consider if the size is correct or if socks are too thick.

Discomfort during runs

Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly for your foot shape. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter walks before longer runs. Check for any internal seams or debris causing irritation.

Squeaking noise

This can sometimes happen due to moisture between layers or the insole. Try removing the insole and drying both it and the inside of the shoe. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.

Mesh upper appears dirty

Use a soft brush or damp cloth with a mild soap solution to gently clean the mesh. Wipe away residue with a clean, damp cloth and allow to air dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no specific setup. Simply unbox and wear them. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a comfortable and secure fit.

Compatibility: The Fresh Foam Arishi v4 is designed as a general athletic shoe. It is compatible with most athletic apparel and casual wear. It is best suited for running on roads, treadmills, and for general fitness activities. It is not optimized for technical trails or sports requiring specialized support.

Care: To maintain the condition of your trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Gently clean the mesh upper and midsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a clothes dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
