Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Consider using thicker socks or loosening the laces.
Squeaking noise during walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole or around the tongue area.
Dirt or stains on the upper
Refer to the 'Care Instructions' section. Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn stains, a specialized shoe cleaner for mesh and synthetic materials may be used cautiously.
Laces wear out or fray
Replace the laces with standard shoelaces of a similar length. New Balance offers replacement laces, or you can find suitable alternatives at most shoe retailers.
