FAQs
Are the New Balance 1300 suitable for running?
While the 1300 is a classic running shoe design, the current 'Made in USA Seasonal Collection' models are primarily intended for lifestyle and casual wear due to their premium materials and fashion-forward colorways. They offer excellent comfort for walking and daily activities.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
It is highly recommended to consult the official New Balance sizing chart available on their website. Measure your foot length and compare it to the chart. If you are between sizes, consider your sock thickness and preference for a snug or looser fit.
Can I clean the suede with water?
Use water very sparingly on suede. A dry suede brush is the first step for cleaning. If absolutely necessary, use a slightly damp cloth, but avoid soaking the material. Always allow suede to air dry naturally away from heat.
What does 'Made in USA' signify?
'Made in USA' signifies that at least 70% of the shoe's value is from US domestic sources and assembly. It represents a commitment to quality craftsmanship and a heritage of manufacturing.
How does the ENCAP midsole work?
The ENCAP midsole technology features a soft foam core encapsulated within a durable polyurethane (PU) shell. This combination provides a supportive and cushioned experience, offering both comfort and stability.
Is this shoe unisex?
Yes, the New Balance 1300 series, including this model, is designed as unisex footwear, catering to a wide range of adult wearers.
How should I store my 1300 trainers?
Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a breathable shoe bag. Avoid direct sunlight and damp environments to preserve the materials and color.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels off
Refer to the official New Balance size chart and consider trying on pairs in-store if possible. Different models can have slight variations.
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a dedicated suede brush to lift dirt. For stains, try a suede cleaner or a pencil eraser, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Always allow to dry naturally.
Color transfer from shoe to socks
This can sometimes occur with new, brightly colored footwear, especially when wet. Allow the shoes to dry completely and wear them with darker socks initially. With time and wear, this should diminish.
Reduced cushioning over time
While the ENCAP midsole is durable, cushioning may naturally decrease with extensive use. Regular cleaning and avoiding excessive wear (e.g., rigorous sports) can help prolong its effectiveness.
