Troubleshooting
Color discrepancy from online images.
Be aware that lighting and screen settings can affect color perception. The actual product color may have slight variations. Refer to product descriptions for main color details.
Initial discomfort or stiffness.
New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase duration. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase.
Squeaking sound during wear.
This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch inside the shoe or at the source of the squeak.
Difficulty finding the correct size.
Refer to the size guide provided by New Balance or the retailer. Ensure you are converting between international sizing systems correctly if applicable. Check sibling product listings for other available sizes.
