FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance XC-72 are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer comfort for light activities, they may not provide the specialized support and cushioning needed for serious running.
How do I clean the leather and suede parts?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth or a specialized leather cleaner. Avoid soaking the shoes or using harsh chemicals.
What is the main color of this trainer?
The main color is black, with secondary 'Mindful Grey' accents.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage.
What sizes are available?
These trainers are available in various adult UK men's sizes. Please check the available options for the specific size you need.
Do these trainers come in other colors?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear them with thin socks initially to allow the leather to mold to your foot. If still uncomfortable, consider a different size or allow more break-in time.
Leather scuffs or marks appear
Use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft cloth to gently buff out minor scuffs. For deeper marks, consult a professional shoe repair service.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
The grip may vary depending on the surface. For increased traction on potentially slippery surfaces, consider a specialized spray or visiting a cobbler for alternative sole options.
