FAQs
What makes the 'Made in UK' designation special?
'Made in UK' signifies that the shoe has been crafted at New Balance's factory in Flimby, Cumbria, UK, a location renowned for its high standards of craftsmanship and premium shoe production.
How do I best care for the suede and mesh materials?
For suede, use a suede brush and specialized cleaners. For mesh and leather, a damp cloth is usually sufficient. Always air dry and consider a protective spray.
Is this shoe suitable for athletic performance?
While the 1500 silhouette originated from running technology, this specific collaborative model is primarily intended for lifestyle and casual wear, offering comfort and style rather than high-performance athletic support.
What is the intended fit of the 1500 MiUK Salehe Bembury?
The 1500 generally offers a standard to slightly narrow fit with good arch support from its ENCAP sole. It aims for a comfortable, secure feel for daily wear.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the materials offer some protection, they are not fully waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the materials, especially the suede.
What is the significance of the Salehe Bembury collaboration?
This collaboration involves acclaimed designer Salehe Bembury, who brings his distinctive design sensibility and color palette to the iconic New Balance silhouette, creating a unique and highly sought-after edition.
Troubleshooting
Laces are difficult to tie or stay tied.
Ensure laces are threaded through eyelets correctly. Try double-knotting or replacing laces with a different material (e.g., waxed cotton) for better grip.
Suede appears dirty or matted.
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For persistent dirt, spot clean with a suede cleaner and allow to dry completely before brushing again.
Shoes feel slightly tight on first wear.
New Balance 1500 models often have a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing duration. If persistent, ensure the correct size was purchased.
Sole feels less cushioned over time.
The ENCAP sole provides lasting support, but cushioning can naturally reduce with extensive wear. Regular cleaning and avoiding excessive moisture can help maintain material integrity.

Care:
- Cleaning Suede: For suede sections, use a suede brush to remove dry dirt and debris. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used sparingly, following product instructions. Avoid getting suede excessively wet.
- Cleaning Leather/Mesh: Use a damp cloth to wipe down leather and mesh panels. For tougher dirt, a mild soap solution can be applied with a soft brush, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Drying: Always air dry shoes away from direct heat sources, as excessive heat can damage materials.
- Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray to guard against stains and water damage, especially when new.
