FAQs

What makes the 'Tech Foam' technology special?

The Tech Foam, powered by FuelCell cushioning, is designed to provide a highly responsive and lightweight feel, offering superior energy return with every step for enhanced comfort.

How should I clean the suede and leather parts of the trainers?

For suede and leather, use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a dedicated leather and suede cleaner and avoid saturating the material with water. Always allow to air dry.

Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?

The TFOAM 100 is primarily designed as a stylish lifestyle trainer for everyday wear, offering comfort and a unique aesthetic. While they can handle light activity, they are not specialized for high-impact sports or competitive running.

What is the primary colour of the trainers?

The primary colour family is 'Brown', with 'Black' as a secondary colour accent, featuring 'Dark Brown' suede and leather elements.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the trainers offer some protection, they are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the leather and suede materials.

What sizes are available?

The New Balance TFOAM 100 trainers are available in various UK adult male sizes. Please check the product listing for the most up-to-date size availability.

How does the hollowed rubber outsole contribute to the shoe?

The hollowed design of the rubber outsole helps to reduce the overall weight of the shoe, contributing to its lightweight feel, while also providing essential grip.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur due to new materials or slight moisture. Try walking on different surfaces to see if it persists. Ensure the laces are not too tight and that the insoles are properly seated.

Discomfort on the heel or arch

The shoe may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially. If discomfort persists, consider if the sizing is correct or if an insert is needed for additional arch support.

Dirt accumulation on materials

Follow the specific care instructions for leather, suede, and mesh. Use appropriate cleaning products for each material type to avoid damage.

Laces wear out quickly

Ensure laces are not being tied excessively tight, which can cause premature wear. Consider replacing them with a similar-length, durable lace material if this is a recurring issue.
