New Balance MT10 "Shipyard" - Beige - Leather

The New Balance MT10 draws inspiration from minimalist running and offers a close-to-the-ground feel, making them suitable for light jogs or functional training. However, they are not designed for long-distance or high-impact running where significant cushioning is typically preferred.

For light dirt, use a soft suede brush. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Always apply a suede protector spray before wearing to prevent water damage and stains. Never machine wash suede shoes.

New Balance sizing is generally consistent. We recommend trying your usual size. If you're unsure, refer to New Balance's official sizing chart or try them on to ensure a comfortable fit, especially given the minimalist design.

The suede upper is not inherently waterproof. While a protector spray can offer some resistance, it's best to avoid heavy rain to prevent water damage and staining to the suede. If they get wet, air dry them stuffed with paper towels.

These shoes are ideal for everyday wear, casual outings, city walking, light outdoor activities like park strolls, and functional training. Their versatile design bridges the gap between style and practical utility.

The MT10 features a minimalist design, which means less built-in arch support compared to traditional athletic shoes. This design aims to promote natural foot mechanics. If you require significant arch support, you may consider a low-profile orthotic insole, but be aware it might alter the shoe's intended feel.

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede. Brush in a consistent direction to revive its texture and appearance.

These shoes feature a minimalist design. If you prefer more cushioning, consider adding a thin, low-profile insole, though this may alter the intended 'close-to-the-ground' feel.

While the Vibram outsole provides good traction, extreme wet or icy conditions can still pose a slip risk. Exercise caution and consider footwear designed specifically for such environments.

For fresh stains, gently blot with a clean cloth. For dried stains, use a suede eraser to lightly rub the mark away, then brush the nap. For stubborn stains, professional suede cleaning may be required.
