Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes good for marathon running?
They are designed primarily for speed and shorter, high-intensity road sessions. While they offer great energy return, marathon runners may prefer a shoe with more substantial cushioning.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry mud and wipe gently with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or bleach.
Is the size 6.5 UK true to size?
Yes, this model follows standard New Balance sizing for UK 6.5, but always ensure you have a thumb-width of space in the toe box.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While they are trainers, they are specifically designed for running. For heavy lifting or lateral movement, a dedicated cross-training shoe is recommended for better side-to-side stability.
What surfaces are these best for?
These shoes perform best on hard, flat surfaces like asphalt, concrete, and synthetic running tracks.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort during the first few runs
Ensure you are transitioning gradually into lightweight trainers; allow your foot muscles time to adapt to the lower profile.
Outer sole shows premature wear
Avoid wearing these shoes on gravel, rocky paths, or trail surfaces, as they are specifically engineered for smooth, hard surfaces like pavement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your SuperComp Pacer v2, it is essential to allow the foam to decompress between runs; avoid wearing them for consecutive days if you run frequently. For cleaning, remove surface dirt with a soft brush and use a damp cloth with mild soap for localized spots; never submerge them in water or place them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the specialized materials. Ensure you have the correct size—this specific model is sized for UK 6.5—to avoid friction and premature wear on the interior lining. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material breakdown.
