FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?

These trainers are best suited for walking and light, casual running due to their focus on cushioning and walking gait support. For marathon running, dedicated performance running shoes with more advanced features might be more appropriate.

How do I determine the right size?

We recommend trying them on in person if possible. Measure your foot length and width, and consult the New Balance sizing chart. Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.

Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, especially due to the suede components. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method for cleaning.

What is the main benefit of the Walking Strike Path technology?

This technology is designed to guide your foot through the natural walking gait cycle, promoting a smoother and more efficient stride.

How durable is the Ndurance rubber outsole?

The Ndurance rubber outsole is specifically engineered for increased durability in high-wear areas, offering long-lasting performance.

What is the primary difference between these and specialized running shoes?

These trainers offer a balanced blend of cushioning and support for walking and light running. Specialized running shoes often feature more advanced technologies for specific running styles, higher impact absorption, and lighter weight for competitive performance.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort after wearing

Ensure the size is correct. Break in the shoes with shorter periods of wear initially. Check lacing for proper tension.

Suede material appearing worn

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. Apply a suede protector spray for added durability and water resistance.

Reduced cushioning over time

While the Fresh Foam is durable, extreme wear can lessen its effectiveness. Consider replacement after significant mileage or if comfort diminishes.
