FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
The New Balance RC56 trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. They are not recommended for intense athletic activities like running or training, which require specialized footwear.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For tougher marks, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Always allow the leather to air dry naturally.
What is the best way to maintain the leather?
Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent it from drying or cracking. Store them away from direct heat and sunlight.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
This specific model is described as grey with white accents. While other colorways might exist within the broader New Balance range or different series, this particular product variant focuses on this color scheme.
What does the UK 4.5 size typically fit?
UK 4.5 is a standard women's shoe size in the UK and a smaller men's size. It's recommended to consult a New Balance size chart for precise foot measurements, as fit can vary.
Are these trainers truly unisex?
The product description indicates a unisex gender attribute, meaning they are designed to be suitable for individuals of any gender. However, sizing is based on standard UK footwear measurements.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight
Leather can stretch slightly over time. Wear them for short periods initially. If they remain uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate or if they are too narrow for your foot type.
Leather appears dry or cracked
Apply a good quality leather conditioner according to product instructions. Ensure they are not exposed to excessive heat or dryness during storage or wear.
Sole feels less cushioned over time
The cushioning may naturally reduce with extensive wear. For prolonged comfort, consider using aftermarket insoles designed for casual shoes.
Color transfer from grey to white areas
This is unlikely with standard wear, but ensure the trainers are fully dry before wearing. If cleaning, use appropriate methods for two-tone leather.

Care:

- Leather Care: Condition the leather periodically with a suitable leather conditioner to maintain its suppleness and prevent drying or cracking.
- Drying: If the trainers become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather and affect the shape.
