FAQs

What does 'Made in UK' signify?

'Made in UK' signifies that these trainers are manufactured in New Balance's factory in the United Kingdom, reflecting a commitment to quality craftsmanship and heritage.

How does the ABZORB midsole enhance comfort?

The ABZORB midsole provides a unique blend of cushioning and compression resistance, absorbing shock and offering a responsive feel with every step.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While offering excellent cushioning, these trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. For dedicated running, specialized running shoes are recommended.

How should I clean the vibrant orange mesh?

Gently wipe the mesh with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid over-wetting and allow to air dry naturally. Do not use bleach or harsh detergents.

What is the inspiration behind the 'Vibrant Chroma' colorway?

The colorway is inspired by the elemental contrast between fire and water, featuring a red-tinged orange mesh upper complemented by pure orange overlays.

Do these trainers have good grip?

Yes, they feature a durable rubber outsole designed to provide reliable traction on various surfaces suitable for everyday wear.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the materials offer some resistance, they are not fully waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to protect the suede and ensure longevity.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort after initial wear

New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks.

Suede appears dirty or matted

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the texture. For tougher marks, consult specific suede cleaning products and instructions.

Sole feels slippery

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. For persistent slipperiness on certain surfaces, consider the nature of the terrain.
