Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Consult the New Balance sizing guide for accurate measurements. Different models can have slight variations in fit. Consider the width if you have wider feet.

Leather creasing heavily

Some creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, ensure proper fit and use shoe trees when not in use. Avoid over-tightening laces.

Mesh appears worn or dirty

Follow the care instructions for cleaning mesh using mild soap and water. Regular gentle cleaning can prevent buildup and wear.

Care:

  1. Cleaning Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and grime. For tougher stains, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear, applying it sparingly with a clean cloth.
