FAQs
Are the New Balance XC-72 shoes unisex?
Yes, this model is designed for adults and generally categorized as a unisex style, offering a versatile fit for various foot types.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
The XC-72 generally fits true to size. It is recommended to follow your standard New Balance size, or measure your foot and check the specific size chart for UK conversions.
Can these be used for running?
While these are comfortable for walking and daily wear, the XC-72 is classified as a trainer/lifestyle shoe and not specifically engineered as a high-performance running shoe.
How do I clean the gold detailing?
Clean the gold accented areas gently with a damp cloth; avoid abrasive scrubbing as this may wear down the metallic finish.
Are the materials leather or suede?
Depending on the specific production run, the XC-72 series features either high-quality leather or suede. Check the product label or your specific pair's description to confirm.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty cleaning textured outsole
Use an old soft-bristled toothbrush and a mild soap solution to reach into the crevices of the tread.
Creasing on upper
Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the structure and minimize deep creasing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your XC-72 trainers remain in peak condition, proper care is essential.
- Fitting: Ensure you are using the correct UK sizing, as the silhouette follows a standard athletic trainer fit. If you use custom orthotics, the factory insole is generally removable.
- Cleaning: Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. For suede or nubuck accents, use a specialized brush to gently lift dirt and maintain the nap.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading of the vibrant red and gold materials.
- Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray compatible with the specific upper material (leather or suede) to prevent damage from the elements.
