FAQs
What makes the Fresh Foam X midsole special?
The Fresh Foam X midsole provides New Balance's most cushioned Fresh Foam experience, offering exceptional softness and comfort with a portion of its foam derived from bio-based content.
Can these shoes be used for serious trail running?
While the AT Tread outsole and Toe Protect offer good traction and protection for off-road use, they are best suited for light to moderate trails and mixed terrain rather than highly technical or extreme trail running.
How do I clean the shoes if they get muddy?
Remove excess mud, then use a soft brush with mild soap and water to clean the upper and outsole. Rinse and allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.
What does 'approximately 8mm drop' mean?
It indicates that the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot is about 8mm. However, due to manufacturing variations, this measurement is not exact.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The seamless upper offers a snug fit. If you typically require a wider fit, it's advisable to try them on in person or consult sizing charts, as this model is designed for a standard fit.
What is the weight of the shoe?
The shoe weighs approximately 239 grams (8.4 oz), making it a lightweight option for comfort during wear.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials and construction. Hand washing with mild soap and water is the preferred method.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure laces are properly adjusted. Try wearing them with different sock thicknesses. Allow for a break-in period as the materials adapt to your foot shape.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Ensure the Hydrohesion rubber outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. While designed for wet grip, extremely slick surfaces may still pose a challenge.
Upper material seems dirty
Gently wipe the synthetic upper with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush, then air dry.
