Troubleshooting
Suede material looks dull or stained
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, try a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product instructions carefully. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces are worn or damaged
Replace laces with a new pair of similar length and material. Standard athletic shoe laces are typically compatible.
Trainer feels slightly tight or loose
Adjust the lacing to provide more or less snugness. If the fit is consistently off, consider if this is the correct size or if alternative New Balance models offer a better fit.
Sole appears to be separating slightly
For minor separation, a flexible shoe adhesive designed for footwear may be used. For significant separation, consult a professional shoe repair service or consider replacement.
