FAQs

Are the New Balance RC56 trainers suitable for running marathons?

The RC56 trainers are inspired by cross-country running DNA and offer comfort for everyday wear and light activities. They are not specifically designed for high-performance marathon running, which typically requires specialized footwear with advanced support and cushioning.

How should I clean the suede overlays?

For suede areas, use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt and to lift the nap. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Avoid using water directly on suede.

What is FuelCell technology?

FuelCell is New Balance's performance foam technology designed to provide a propulsive feel and responsive cushioning, helping to energize your stride.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials, especially the suede.

What does 'Sea Salt' and 'Timberwolf' refer to?

'Sea Salt' and 'Timberwolf' refer to the specific colorways used in the construction of the trainers. 'Sea Salt' typically describes a light off-white or cream color for the leather, and 'Timberwolf' is a shade of grey for the suede overlays.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Refer to the New Balance sizing guide for accurate measurements. Since these are trainers, ensure there is enough room in the toe box for comfort during wear, and use the N-lock lacing system to secure the midfoot.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Adjust the N-lock lacing system to find your optimal fit. Ensure laces are tied securely but not overly tight.

Leather or suede appears dirty or scuffed

Refer to the 'Care' section for specific instructions on cleaning leather and suede materials using appropriate tools and cleaners.

Reduced cushioning or comfort over time

The PU foam footbeds and FuelCell midsole are designed for durability, but cushioning may naturally decrease with extensive use. Consider replacing the insoles if comfort significantly diminishes.

Discoloration of materials

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals, which can cause discoloration. Clean shoes as recommended to preserve color.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility:

These trainers are designed for adult use and are compatible with standard adult foot sizes. They are best suited for casual wear and light athletic activities.

Care:

To maintain the quality and appearance of your RC56 trainers, follow these care instructions:

  1. Cleaning Uppers: Gently wipe the 'Sea Salt' leather and 'Timberwolf' suede with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher marks, use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap solution, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  2. Suede Care: For suede areas, use a dedicated suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. Do not use water on suede unless using a specialized suede cleaner.
  3. Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning. Hand wash with mild soap and air dry.
  4. Sole: Clean the PU foam and FuelCell sole with a damp cloth.
  5. Drying: Always air dry shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
