Product Information
Full details
The New Balance Gator Run trainers are designed for the adult male seeking a blend of archival athletic heritage and modern lifestyle aesthetics. Their key benefit lies in the unique textural play of hairy suede and a distinct rubber outsole with sharp-toothed lugs, offering both visual interest and reliable grip. A potential caveat is that the hairy suede may require more specific care than smoother materials.

Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the texture and remove loose dirt. For stubborn marks, try a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.
Laces are dirty
Carefully remove laces and hand wash them with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing.
Reduced grip on the outsole
Check the rubber lugs for embedded debris (mud, small stones) and gently clean them with a brush or damp cloth. Ensure the sole is dry before use on slippery surfaces.
