FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
While these trainers offer comfort and support for general athletic activities, they are not specifically designed for marathon running. For long-distance running, specialized running shoes with advanced cushioning and support are recommended.
How do I clean the animal pattern?
Clean the patterned area gently with a damp cloth. Avoid scrubbing or using abrasive cleaners that could lift or damage the pattern.
What type of socks are best with these trainers?
You can wear any type of sock that provides comfort for your intended activity. For athletic use, moisture-wicking athletic socks are recommended. For casual wear, standard cotton or blend socks work well.
Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended for leather footwear as it can damage the material and the shoe's structure.
What is the main benefit of the leather material?
The leather material provides durability, a premium feel, and molds to your foot over time, offering a personalized fit and comfortable wear.
Is the animal pattern applied as a print or part of the material?
The animal pattern is typically an applied design on the leather, requiring gentle care to maintain its appearance.
Troubleshooting
Leather scuff marks
Gently buff the scuff with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, use a leather cleaner or a small amount of matching shoe polish, testing in an inconspicuous area first.
Unusual odor
Remove insoles if possible and air them out. Use a shoe deodorizer spray or place baking soda inside the shoes overnight. Ensure shoes are completely dry before wearing.
Stiff leather
Apply a leather conditioner according to product instructions. Wear the shoes to help break them in gradually.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers require no setup; simply wear them. They are compatible with standard adult foot sizes. To care for your New Balance Gator Run trainers:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather exterior with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the leather and the pattern.
- Drying: If the trainers become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer.
- Conditioning: Periodically use a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking, especially after cleaning.
- Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box, to protect them from dust and moisture.
