FAQs
Are New Balance RC42 Trainers suitable for running or gym workouts?
No, the New Balance RC42 Trainers are designed for casual wear, daily activities, and light walking. They do not offer the specialized support, cushioning, or stability required for high-impact running or intense gym workouts.
How do I clean the leather and suede materials on these trainers?
For leather, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap, then condition. For suede, use a suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, use specialized leather or suede cleaners respectively, always testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The New Balance RC42 Trainers are not waterproof. While durable, the leather and suede materials may not provide adequate protection in heavy rain or very wet conditions. It's best to avoid prolonged exposure to water.
What kind of activities are these shoes best for?
These trainers are ideal for everyday casual wear, city walking, park strolls, and general light activities where comfort and style are prioritized. They are perfect for complementing a relaxed, active lifestyle.
Do these shoes fit true to size?
New Balance shoes generally fit true to size for most users. However, fit can vary slightly by individual foot shape. It's recommended to consult the New Balance sizing chart if you are unsure or between sizes.
What are the main materials used in the RC42 Trainer?
The New Balance RC42 Trainer features an upper made of a combination of leather and suede, a textile lining for comfort, and a durable rubber sole for support and traction.
Troubleshooting
My shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
New shoes, especially those with leather components, may require a brief break-in period. Wear them for short durations around the house before extended use to allow them to conform to your foot.
The suede is looking dull or matted.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush the nap of the suede in one direction. This helps restore its original texture and appearance. For deeper cleaning, consider a specialized suede eraser or cleaner.
My trainers have developed an odor.
Allow your trainers to air out thoroughly after each wear. You can use shoe deodorizers, baking soda sachets, or cedar shoe inserts to absorb moisture and neutralize odors. Ensure insoles are removed periodically for drying if possible.
The white rubber sole is discolored or dirty.
Clean the rubber sole with a mild soap solution and a brush or an old toothbrush. For tougher scuffs, a magic eraser can be effective. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.

- General Cleaning: For light dirt, gently wipe the leather and suede surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
- Suede Care: For suede sections, use a dedicated suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used, following the product's instructions carefully.
- Leather Care: For leather portions, a mild leather cleaner or conditioner can help maintain the material's suppleness and appearance. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
- Lining & Sole: The textile lining can be gently wiped with a damp cloth. Clean the rubber sole with a brush and mild soap and water.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight) to prevent material damage or warping. Stuff with paper towels to absorb moisture and help maintain shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shape when not in use.
