FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The New Balance 1300 trainers are primarily lifestyle shoes designed for comfort and style. While they offer good support for casual wear and light activities, they are not specialized running shoes.

How do I clean the glow-in-the-dark accents?

The glow-in-the-dark accents are part of the shoe's material and can be cleaned gently with a damp cloth. Exposure to light is required for them to glow.

What is the benefit of the ENCAP midsole?

The ENCAP midsole technology combines a soft foam core with a durable polyurethane rim, providing all-day support and cushioning while enhancing durability.

Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?

While the suede and mesh offer some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials.

What does 'Made in USA' signify for these trainers?

'Made in USA' signifies that at least 70% of the value of this shoe is domestic. It reflects New Balance's commitment to high manufacturing standards and quality craftsmanship.

How should I store my 1300 trainers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Use a suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, apply a dedicated suede cleaner sparingly with a soft cloth, following the cleaner's instructions. Allow to dry completely before brushing again.

Shoes feel too tight.

Ensure you have the correct size. If slightly tight, wear them for short periods initially to break them in. Consider using thinner socks or checking if the laces are tied too tightly.

Color seems to fade.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Store the shoes in a dark, dry place when not in use.

Glow-in-the-dark accents not visible.

Expose the shoe to a bright light source for several minutes to charge the glow-in-the-dark material. Visibility depends on the ambient light conditions.
