FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The New Balance 860v2 offers performance features suitable for everyday wear and light activities, including leisurely walks or light jogging. For dedicated or high-intensity running, consulting specialized running shoe guides is recommended.
How do I determine if UK size 12 is the right fit for me?
It's best to measure your foot length and compare it to New Balance's official size chart. Also, consider the width of your foot. When trying them on, ensure a comfortable fit with a thumb's width space at the toe and no uncomfortable pressure points.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
No, machine washing is generally not recommended for the New Balance 860v2 as it can damage the materials and structural integrity of the shoe. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.
What kind of socks should I wear with these trainers?
For optimal comfort and to manage moisture, it's recommended to wear athletic socks made from breathable, moisture-wicking materials. Avoid thick cotton socks which can retain moisture and cause friction.
Do they offer good arch support?
The New Balance 860v2 is designed with a supportive fit, which typically includes a degree of arch support. However, individual needs vary. If you require specific arch support, you may consider using custom orthotics or insoles.
Are these trainers slip-resistant?
While the outsole provides good general traction for everyday surfaces, these trainers are not specifically rated as slip-resistant footwear. Exercise caution on wet or slippery surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or loose
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Re-lace to adjust tension. If discomfort persists, verify the UK 12 size is truly suitable for your foot measurements.
Squeaking sound when walking
Check if the insoles are properly seated. Sometimes, removing and reinserting them can resolve the issue. If the squeak is from the sole, it might be due to moisture or a minor manufacturing inconsistency.
Foot odor
Allow trainers to air out after each use. Remove and air dry insoles. Consider using odor-absorbing inserts or foot powder. Ensure socks are clean and breathable.
Laces come undone frequently
Try a different lacing technique, such as a surgeon's knot, which is more secure than a standard knot. Ensure laces are not excessively worn or smooth.
Upper material appears dirty or scuffed
Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. For persistent scuffs, specialized footwear cleaners designed for synthetic materials may be used. Avoid harsh chemicals.
