New Balance XC-72 - Black - Gold - Trainers - UK 10

The New Balance XC-72 is designed as a versatile trainer, suitable for both athletic activities like light workouts and everyday casual wear, blending comfort with a distinctive style.

For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, a dedicated suede cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by brushing.

While comfortable for general wear and light training, the XC-72 is not specifically designed as a high-performance marathon running shoe. For long-distance running, consider specialized running footwear.

The XC-72 features a bold, retro-futuristic design with elements like a split-outsole and aggressive tread patterns, setting it apart from more conventional sneaker designs.

The XC-72 generally runs true to size for most users. However, it is always recommended to consult the New Balance size guide and consider trying them on if possible, especially since this variant is UK size 10.

While they offer some protection, the XC-72 is not waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain, especially if they feature suede, which can be damaged by excessive moisture.

The XC-72 series is available in various colorways and may incorporate different materials such as leather or other textiles across different product variants.

This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe. Try adding a little talcum powder under the insole or ensuring laces are not too tightly bound.

Ensure you have the correct size. Wear with appropriate socks and consider a break-in period by wearing them for short durations initially.

To minimize color transfer, especially onto light socks, ensure the shoes are dry and consider using a fabric protector spray suitable for footwear. Allow shoes to air out completely before wearing.

Avoid wearing in heavy rain. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally and then brush the suede gently with a suede brush once completely dry.
