FAQs
What material are these trainers made of?

Are these suitable for running or intense sports?
These trainers are designed more for lifestyle and casual wear, with capabilities for light athletic activities. For intense sports, specialized running shoes are recommended.

Are these shoes true to size?
Generally, New Balance trainers are known for consistent sizing. However, individual fit can vary. It's recommended to consult the New Balance size guide or try them on if possible.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While leather offers some protection, these are not waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions. Using a leather protector can improve water resistance.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Ensure laces are properly adjusted. If still uncomfortable, verify you have the correct UK size. Refer to New Balance sizing charts for accurate measurements.
Leather appears creased or scuffed
Minor creases can often be reduced by wearing the shoes. For scuffs, use a matching color shoe polish or leather conditioner to blend them in. Always test polish on an inconspicuous area first.
Color looks different than expected
Colors can vary due to monitor settings and lighting. Check the shoes in natural daylight to see their true color. The 'Black Phantom' is a deep, dark shade of black.
