Product Information

Full details

The New Balance 1300 Trainers are a classic everyday shoe for adults seeking a blend of comfort, style, and durability. Their key benefit lies in the ENCAP midsole technology providing excellent support and cushioning, making them suitable for daily wear and light activity. A potential caveat is their classic design, which may appeal more to those who appreciate heritage styles rather than cutting-edge fashion trends. This trainer features a premium suede and mesh upper, ENCAP midsole technology, and a comfortable fit, making it a masterpiece of running shoe design ideal for everyday use.

FAQs

Are the New Balance 1300 trainers good for running?

The 1300 trainers are designed primarily for everyday wear and light athletic activities. While they offer good support and cushioning, they are not optimized for high-impact running or competitive sports.

How do I determine the correct UK size?

Refer to the New Balance size guide, which typically correlates UK, US, and European sizing. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the brand's specific measurements for the best fit.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the suede and mesh offer some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials and maintain their appearance. Consider a waterproofing spray specifically designed for suede.

What is the main difference between the original 1300 and this reissue?

This reissue aims to replicate the original masterpiece design, including the ENCAP midsole technology and premium materials. The primary goal is to bring back the classic aesthetics and comfort that made the original 1300 a legend.

How often should I clean my suede trainers?

Clean your suede trainers as needed, especially after exposure to dirt or spills. Regular light brushing can help maintain their appearance between deeper cleanings. Avoid over-cleaning, which can damage the suede.

What kind of socks are best to wear with these trainers?

For maximum comfort and to prevent blisters, wearing moisture-wicking athletic socks or cotton blend socks is recommended. The choice of sock can also influence the overall fit and feel of the shoe.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise during walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction between components. Try inserting a thin piece of paper or talcum powder into the shoe or around the tongue area. If the noise persists, it might be an internal issue.

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace laces with a new pair of appropriate length and material. Avoid over-tightening laces, which can stress the eyelets and laces.

Reduced cushioning over time

While ENCAP technology is durable, cushioning can degrade with extensive use. Consider rotating with another pair of shoes to extend the lifespan and comfort of the 1300s.

Suede material looks dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner following product instructions. Regular light brushing can prevent dirt build-up.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no assembly. They are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort.

Compatibility: The New Balance 1300 trainers are designed for adult wear and are suitable for most foot types due to their supportive construction. They pair well with a variety of casual outfits, including jeans, shorts, and athleisure wear.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your trainers:

  1. Cleaning: For suede and mesh, use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water.
  2. Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe box or dust bag, to protect them from dust and moisture.
