FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they feature FuelCell foam for responsiveness, the Hesi Low is primarily designed for daily activities and lifestyle use rather than long-distance technical running.
How do I determine the right size?
The Hesi Low generally fits true to size, but we recommend measuring your feet while wearing the socks you intend to use with the shoes.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the internal inserts can generally be removed if you require custom orthotics, provided they fit the volume of the shoe.
Is the leather water-resistant?
The leather offers some protection against light moisture, but it is not waterproof and should not be submerged.
How often should I clean the shoes?
For optimal maintenance, spot clean the leather as needed and wipe down the rubber outsoles weekly if used in dusty or dirty environments.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels too stiff after initial wear
Ensure the laces are properly adjusted and wear slightly thicker socks for the first few sessions to help stretch the material naturally.
Accumulation of dirt on the white surface
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a mixture of gentle soap and water with a microfiber cloth; avoid harsh chemicals that can discolor the white finish.
Outsole losing traction
Clean the bottom of the shoes with warm water and a brush to remove small rocks or debris lodged in the rubber tread pattern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance Hesi Low shoes last, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for short intervals initially to allow the leather to naturally conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt. For the leather, use a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid soaking the material.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking or the foam from deforming.
- Maintenance: Regularly check the outsole for debris and ensure laces are tied appropriately to prevent undue wear on the eyelets.
