FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the ENCAP sole unit?

The ENCAP sole unit provides a core of soft cushioning material surrounded by a durable polyurethane rim, offering both cushioning and support for extended comfort.

How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a suede cleaner sparingly and always test on a small area first. Applying a suede protector spray can help prevent future stains.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While the 1300 model originated from running shoe design and offers good cushioning, they are best suited for everyday wear and light athletic activities rather than intense, performance-focused running.

What does 'Made in USA' signify?

'Made in USA' signifies that at least 70% of the shoe's value is manufactured and assembled in the United States, reflecting a commitment to quality craftsmanship.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, it is not recommended to wash these trainers in a washing machine, as this can damage the suede, mesh, and sole construction. Hand cleaning is the preferred method.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

It is best to refer to the New Balance sizing chart, which usually provides measurements in both centimeters and UK/US shoe sizes. You can also try them on in person if possible.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Use a suede brush to remove surface dirt. For stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Mesh material is snagged or torn.

Minor snags can sometimes be carefully smoothed down. Significant tears may require professional shoe repair. Avoid catching the mesh on sharp objects.

Shoe feels uncomfortable after initial wear.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The ENCAP sole may require a short break-in period. Try wearing them for shorter durations initially and gradually increase wear time.

Color transfer from suede to socks.

This can sometimes occur with new suede products. Ensure the suede is properly conditioned and consider wearing darker socks until any excess dye has dissipated.
