FAQs
Are New Balance 1300 trainers true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing conventions for New Balance footwear, but it is always recommended to compare against your current comfortable shoe size.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and suede materials. Always opt for manual, gentle spot cleaning.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is a combination of breathable mesh, premium leather, and hairy suede overlays.
Are these suitable for running?
While the 1300 has roots in running design, this version is primarily categorized as a lifestyle trainer for daily comfort.
How do I maintain the suede texture?
Regular use of a soft suede brush helps maintain the 'hairy' texture and keeps the material looking fresh.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede areas
Use a dry suede eraser or soft-bristled brush to gently lift the debris without damaging the nap of the material.
Mild discoloration of the off-white mesh
Gently spot clean with a mixture of mild detergent and water, dabbing rather than rubbing to avoid pushing dirt deeper into the weave.
