FAQs
Are the New Balance 1500 Made in UK suitable for running?
The 1500 Made in UK series is primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle. While they offer good cushioning and support, they are not engineered with the specific features and technology required for serious athletic running.
How should I clean the nubuck and mesh upper?
Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently remove dirt. For tougher stains, a specialized nubuck cleaner can be applied carefully, following product instructions. Avoid soaking the materials.
What does 'Made in England' signify for these shoes?
It signifies that these particular trainers have been manufactured in New Balance's factory in England, reflecting a commitment to heritage craftsmanship, quality materials, and meticulous construction.
How does the ENCAP midsole provide support?
ENCAP midsole technology consists of a soft EVA foam core for cushioning, encapsulated within a durable polyurethane (PU) rim. This combination provides both shock absorption and structural support for the foot.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the shoes offer some protection, they are not waterproof. The nubuck material can be susceptible to water damage and staining. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to treat them with a suitable water-repellent spray if necessary.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Sizing can vary slightly between individuals. Many users find them to be true to size, but if you are between sizes or prefer more room, considering a half-size up might be beneficial. Checking reviews for specific fit feedback can also be helpful.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have the correct size. If slightly snug, try wearing thinner socks or loosen the laces. Some users find a short break-in period helps.
Squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur if parts of the shoe rub together or if moisture is trapped. Ensure laces are not too tight and that the shoes are fully dry. If the issue persists, consult customer support.
Discoloration on nubuck
Nubuck can be sensitive to moisture and direct sunlight. Use a nubuck cleaner and a soft brush for spot cleaning, and store shoes away from direct light.
