FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the Fresh Foam X midsole?
The Fresh Foam X midsole provides New Balance's most cushioned experience, delivering exceptional comfort for extended wear.
Can these shoes be used for serious hiking?
These trainers are best suited for light trails and casual walks. For rugged, technical hiking, specialized hiking boots are recommended.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the UK sizing guide provided. The approximate 8mm drop is a design feature; consider your personal preference for heel-to-toe drop when choosing.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The shoes feature Hydrohesion rubber for grip in wet conditions but are not fully waterproof. They offer water resistance, not full submersion protection.
What is the weight of the shoe?
The shoe weighs approximately 239 grams (8.4 oz), making it a lightweight option for agility.
How do I clean the synthetic upper?
Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing.
What does 'Toe Protect technology' do?
Toe Protect technology is designed to shield your feet from impacts with rocks, roots, and other trail debris.
Troubleshooting
Laces come undone easily
Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot. Consider replacing laces if they are worn or slippery.
Discomfort or rubbing
Verify the shoe fit is correct for your size. Break in the shoes with shorter wear periods initially. Check sock choice for potential friction points.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Ensure the Hydrohesion outsole is clean and free of mud or debris. The grip is enhanced on clean, wet surfaces.
