FAQs

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is primarily made of suede, featuring distinctive 'jagged rough cuts'.

What is the purpose of the plastic heel cage?

The plastic heel cage provides additional support and stability to the heel area for improved comfort and fit.

How should I clean the suede material?

Use a suede brush for general cleaning and a specialized suede cleaner for stains. Avoid excessive water. Always allow the suede to dry completely before brushing.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

These trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. While comfortable, they may not offer the specific support or cushioning required for intense running.

What does 'Protection Pack' refer to?

The 'Protection Pack' is a design series by New Balance that features a deconstructed aesthetic, characterized by the 'jagged rough cuts' on the upper.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While suede can be treated with protectant sprays, it is generally advisable to avoid wearing suede trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve their material and appearance.

What sizes are available?

These trainers are available in various adult UK men's sizes. Please refer to the size chart for specific measurements.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears scuffed or dirty

Gently brush the affected area with a suede brush. For stubborn marks, use a suede cleaner following product instructions. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before brushing.

Shoes feel too tight

Wear thin socks initially. If still uncomfortable, consider using shoe stretchers designed for suede. Allow time for the suede to naturally mold to your foot.

The 'jagged rough cuts' are fraying

Trim any loose threads carefully with small scissors. Avoid pulling on the frayed areas. Regular inspection can help prevent significant fraying.

Color transfer onto socks or skin

This can happen with new dyed materials. Wear darker socks for the first few wears. The color transfer should diminish over time with wear and cleaning.
