What is the sizing like?
New Balance typically runs true to size, but it's always best to check size charts and reviews for specific models.
How do I protect the suede?

How should I store these shoes?
Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe box, to maintain their shape and protect them from dust.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears stained
Use a suede cleaner and brush gently to remove the stain. Follow the cleaner's instructions carefully.
Shoes feel less cushioned over time
The ABZORB cushioning may compress over time. There is no specific fix for this, and it is a natural part of wear and tear.
Soles are dirty
Use a soft brush and mild soap with water to scrub the soles clean. Avoid harsh chemicals.
The suede is looking worn
Use a suede brush to restore the nap of the suede. You may also want to use a suede revitalizer.
