FAQs
What materials are the New Balance RC42 Trainers made from?
The New Balance RC42 Trainers feature a premium suede upper, a textile lining for comfort, and a durable rubber outsole for support and traction. This specific variant has a suede upper.
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
While built for comfort and an active lifestyle, the New Balance RC42 Trainers are primarily designed for casual wear, walking, and everyday activities. They are not intended for high-performance running or intense athletic sports.
How do I clean my white suede New Balance RC42 Trainers?
For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, apply a small amount of suede cleaner with a clean cloth, dabbing gently, then brush after drying. Avoid soaking and always air dry away from direct heat. Consider a suede protector spray.
Do New Balance RC42 Trainers run true to size?
New Balance trainers generally fit true to size. We recommend ordering your usual shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider reviewing specific sizing charts if available.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
Due to the suede upper, these trainers are not ideal for heavy rain or wet conditions as water can stain or damage suede. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally and use a suede brush to restore the nap once dry. A protector spray can offer some resistance.
What is the primary benefit of the cushioned rubber sole?
The cushioned rubber sole is designed to enhance support and provide superior comfort by absorbing impact as you walk. This ensures a comfortable stride and reduces foot fatigue throughout the day, whether you're strolling through the city or taking a leisurely walk.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
These trainers are designed for comfort, but a short break-in period may be needed for them to conform to your feet. Wear them for shorter periods initially to allow the materials to soften.
Suede upper appears dirty or stained
Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft suede brush. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, which can damage the suede.
Trainers squeak when walking
This can sometimes happen if the insole rubs against the sole. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch underneath it. Ensure laces are tied securely.
Laces constantly come undone
Ensure you are tying a proper knot, such as a double knot, especially when new. You may also consider replacing the laces with ones that have a slightly different texture to improve grip.

- Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray before first wear to help repel water and stains.
