Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing during initial wear
This is common with new shoes featuring advanced cushioning. Try wearing them for shorter distances or around the house for a few days to allow them to break in and mold to your foot shape.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
While designed for durability, extreme use or improper care can degrade cushioning. Ensure regular cleaning and avoid exposing the shoes to excessive heat. If performance significantly degrades, it may be time for a replacement.
Sizing feels slightly off
Refer to the New Balance sizing guide for accurate measurements. If the fit is consistently uncomfortable, consider exchanging for a different size or width if available.
